Mp3 playback with standard audio?

I have a Sep 06 535d with Media Pack, but standard audio and it plays OK. However, on a CD with about 170 tracks on it, there are about 10% it refuses to play. It shows them, you click them, it thinks about it and goes on to the next track.
There is a reason for this, be it tag info or a max no. of files on a CD - I just can't remember what it is. I bought a Kenwood mp3 player 7 years ago for a Volvo I had, and it explained what triggers this issue.
Anyone got a handle on it?

Hello,
I ordered a 520d LCI in February. Didn't think much about the audio system and didn't take the USB option. Now I'm starting to wonder how bad that choice was. I will have to check with the dealership whether I might still change my order. I recall that my car was planned for production on April 11. Delivery (Belgium) to dealer planned for 9 May.
Just in case it's no longer possible to change my order, I wonder: does the standard system allow for MP3 playback? Now that I think of it, I'm not even sure whether the standard system is a CD or DVD system. What is it?

HELP ME! I have an LCI 525d with HiFi-package, and I have tried two MP3 CD's (with recommended settings taken from another thread here). Those discs didn't work, so can you give me the settings you used?
Just insert and wait.

That's very good to hear, I have ordered a 520d SE in the UK and didn't order the 6FL/USB option. I tried to change my order but the dealer said it was too late (only ten days after placing order?). Anyway I would be happy to burn mp3 cd's as an alternative to plugging in a USB device (even though it's not as flexible).
Just a thought, did you try playing an mp3 player via the aux input - my experiences with these things haven't been good in the past but we are talking BMW so maybe there's hope.....

I use the AUX to connect my ipod in my BMW116i and it works great so you shouldn't have a problem there. But you will have to control everything on the ipod and not through the car stereo.
