Anyone else have this problem? I burn a disc (using nero, lg writer) with mp3s on it. Certain ones will NOT work in the car. It will goto the track, and it just skips it to the next track, and so forth, until a track it can play....

Why does it do that? Anyone else have this problem? Cant be the cds, because I've tried mannnny different kind, also tried different cd writers...

Anyone?

(btw i have a e63, but thought i post here, pretty much the same car, 2 doors lol)

320kbps mp3 should work fine in the car. VBR and CBR could be the reason. none of my VBR mp3 work.

VBR is preferable. Better sound quality and also smaller file size. The cbr format can sound pretty good but be awfully bulky in size. Use VBR mp3 at 192 kbps. It works best. I have mostly VBR 320s and they work fine.
