The MP3 system for CDs on the E60 is fantastic.
However I have come across one issue/glitch
If I am playing a very long track (typically a 30 min podcast), play may skip to the next track after approx 13 mins (variable from 8 - 20 mins).
Is this a glitch or just a problem with the way I burn my CD?
Is there a buffer, which fills up if the track is too long?
I did notice that one of the 30 min podcasts was encoded at 320, rather than my usual 190, would this cause a problem with the buffer?
All help appreciated

I have a similar problem with large files on my iPod.
If the files are longer than about 2 hours, then the iPod sometimes won't play them. It skips ahead.
So I have to cut my audio files into parts which are less than 2 hours long.

I have several songs that last over 30 minutes with no issues. Yet others of only 2-3 minutes may have a problem. I attribute to the burn process and or the quality of the CD/DVD drive in the car.
