MP3's on HK
I have had my stereo looked at several times on my 06 Ultra. I will burn over 100 songs but it will only play about 50. I have played the same MP3 in my truck and it played all of the songs.

Has anyone had any luck organizing your MP3's into folders before burning them onto CD. Another member reported doing it successfully, but he never responded as to what software he used or how he did it. I would like to put individual albums into folders so I can sort through them and play them when I want. Other members reported that the HK stereo didn't recognize the folders.

If you are transferring from CD media and saving to MP3 (ripping), you'll need to use special software like Nero or Windows Media Player (v10 or above, I think).

I understand what you are saying Iclick. I guess what I'm asking is...Can I place different albums into their own folder, then select which folder to play. In other words, if I put a Pearl Jam album in one folder, Metallica in another, and Audioslave in a third, can I select the Audioslave to play in it's entirety or do all the songs on the CD show up in the order they are on the disc? What shows up on the display? The folder then the song, or just the song.

What I do is mark on the CD with a sharpie what number of song starts each album. i.e. 1-13 Pearl Jam, 14-26 Metallica, 27-38 Audioslave. Then, if it burnt them in that order and I wanted to listen to the Metallica CD all I would have to do is forward to song 14 and I would be in the Metallica folder.
I recently got a Garmin Zumo and it plays MPS also but sorts by artist, album, genre, and other ways. It will recognize up to 1,000 songs if your memory card is large enough. I don't play CD's anymore since I have gotten this. I think I like the MP3 function better than the GPS side, lol. should have just bought an IPOD, LOL.

Caution to those who burn .mp3 cds. Make sure you burn them at a slow burn rate. I've found the HK system has some issues with a faster/lighter burn. Also, keep those CD clean. On 2 .mp3 CDs I've had issues with the slightest fingerprint causing hangs when playing certain songs.
Otherwise, I've got 3 .mp3 cds each with roughly 100 songs. Great way to get music to your head unit, and it will show song title and artist if the information was burned correctly.

for ripping your own(or borrowed)cds to mp3s, i recommend exact audio copy. it is a free program and can be configured to make a virtually exact copy of your cd in mp3 format, or you can lower the bit rate, and get more songs on the cd
