My Ride: 2007 530i, Sapphire Black with White trim. M-Sports package
Does anyone know what the minimum specification is for MP3 files to play on CD's? I have a 2007 530i and some of my MP3 files won't play.
Initial look would appear to indicate that they must be 64k or better. is there anything else that is important?
I have some MP3 files that suddenly stop for a second or so then continue and 1 or 2 that start playing then just stop altogether. I have tried the CD on my PC and it seems to be happy with them all.

I don't think there's a minimum bitrate but I do remember a while back that BMW recommended not going over 256 kb/s. I also think that during some early tests, people found that variable bitrate files weren't as reliable as constant bitrate files.
You may have seen the following thread but in case you didn't, take a look here for a bunch of information:
