I have mp3 songs and record them but as reg. audio cd's and I get about 20 songs if I'm lucky... If I can record them as mp3's how many songs could I get on 1 cd in there format?? Also do they sound any different?? Last you can't get the name of the song on MP3 to come up on the screen can you????

John, if you use Nero, record the MP3 in CD-ROM (ISO) format. Technically speaking just as you would for a data disc. If you choice AUDIO, it will automatically convert into WAV file and record as standard audio for you.
If that is the case, you can only record up to 20 songs.

Thanks, I actualy figured it out, I used Itunes and I was able to switch to record MP3 and it worked.... Now if my car can play MP3 (not picking it up till end of week) will the titles be on the screen? Also I have done some search and people wern't sure if the 05' radio with sirus and no nav. or L7 would play mp3's , well this is the setup I have... did anyone find out if it plays?

I notice in another thread that you're not having luck, but yes - you would see the titles on the screen.

It would appear that in the track list view, it displays the actual filename. While the track is playing, it switches to displaying the ID3 tag information.

Hi, no it's not that I'm not having any luck, I haven't even picked up the car yet (they are putting in my cd-changer today

) I just wanted to know if anyone knew if my car would play mp3's and if it did if the titles would show.. I have the Sirus radio and non nav, non L7 and I was seeing in this forum that there was hope/thought that this config. of stereo might play mp3's...
