Hello

I'm looking for some advice from anyone with the following set up or similar.

I have the standard Wave cassette radio with a Sony T70 Mp3 changer. The changer plays fine with normal CD's but when i try to play a MP3 CD I cannot select any tracks. The CD will play but skipping tracks forward or backwards doesn't work. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

I have the Wave cassette-radio and T70 changer myself. Sorry to hear about your problems, I have nothing similar. It works fine in my case.

I have the changer connected to the CD prep in the boot via the Connects2 adapter (part No MBMS005). Are you using the same connecter?

Other things that spring to mind :-

1) brand of CDR you're using. I stick to cheapies (PCline).
2) Are you burning too much onto them? If I go for a full 600Mb the changer can't recognise it (I think the index track or something doesn't burn properly), so I tend to stick to <550Mb
3) It tends to take a while to recognise each disc when you first select it (couple of minutes after its loaded - presumably whilst its reading the index or something). How long are you waiting after the disc has loaded before trying to skip?

Thanks for the reply. Now I know that this set up should work. I will have to start playing about with different CD's and how much I put on them. The adaptor I am using is the MBMS005.

Do you burn with folders on the CD or just MP3's straight into the root?

sorry it took so long to reply.

I don't bother with folders, just burn them straight (using Nero).

Good luck, let us know how you get on.

I use nero and don't use folders. And I just can't get it to work. I can fast forward through tracks but as soon as I try to select the next track it takes me straight back to track 1.

Do you have the MFSW?

I think I may have to try and get hold of another T70 and see if it does the same thing.

Crashandburn · May 13th, 2003, 11:30 PM

no to the MFSW.

I'm puzzled

anyone any ideas?

BTW - StephenR, you have a PM.

Sent an e-mail to incarexpress where i bought the changer. They seem to think it could be the interface as well so i'm arranging a replacement, hopefully this will work, I'll let you know.

Thanks again

Stephen.

Just received new interface from InCarExpress, and it works, yippee. Thanks for your help in resolving this matter. Also Excellent service from InCarExpress.

Now you've just got to spend hours burning discs.
