MP3 playback is now available through my Professional Radio. I have burnt a DVD this evening with around 50 artists on it - each with their own directory. Tried to play in the car and only the first 15 directories with their relevant sub directories (album names) were displayed. When I check the DVD in my PC I can see all 50 directories

Is anyone aware of a limit or the best way to save MP3 files on a DVD to keep them organised BUT to work on the E60?

The thought of having 4.7GB of MP3s on one disc (around 1500 tracks) is fantastic - just get get to see them all through the I-Drive to play them.

Thanks

Whoa, I thought Pro Nav systems can't play MP3 yet. Do you have the business nav? Is that how you have a dvd player?

He's in the UK, so he has pro radio, or bus nav (what comes with pro radio).

Nav pro is still waiting for software to enable MP3 playback.

I think NavPro is waiting for many many things, including removing the slugishness. A long time ago i had BUS Nav and pro radio and the response was much much faster. I wonder if i have to overclock my system computer

I have Business Nav with a Professional Radio. The Pro Radio will accept DVDs with MP3's on them. However I am struggling for it to read all the directories on the DVD.

I think I've read max 300 entries and max 2 gb.
I've burnt a DVD with 18 folders and 280+ songs (about 1,9 gb). Works a charm. Have not tried to push it yet..

Nav Bus is waaaay faster since it doesn't need to load/read all the map data.
