Hi,
I remember reading somewhere (wich I cannot find anymore) a way to make Mp3 disc to play in our regular CD player or 6 disc changer. I tried on my car but it says on the screen that the "media cannot be read".
Any advice ?
Thanks

If it says Medium Cannot Be Read, then your car will read MP3s just fine, except you've burned it incorrectly. When you burn the disc make sure its burned as MP3 Disc instead of Data Disc. For example if you use Windows and use Nero, there's burning Data and MP3, make sure you select MP3 disc or it won't read. Do not burn by using the normal Windows Drag n Drop feature to burn the mp3 or it won't work. If you use Mac, then use Toast to burn an Audio MP3 disc, not data or the mac's burn folder. I learned this the hard way... 10 CDs full of MP3s and none of them work because I did it wrong. Cheers.. Hope its the same for you..

No, this is the message if you radio is not mp3 enabled as well. My bus radio says that when I insert a mp3 disc.
