Default CD music formats

As you can see this is my first post. I have been reading the touring forum for quite sometime and thanks for all the great information. I'm currently riding a 2005 FF edition Ultra. This is my fourth HD and my second Ultra. I'm working today and I don't have the bike or owners manual with me. I am going on a ride in the AM and would like to create a CD for the ride. I normally use an MP3 player but I won't have it tomorrow. What music format will the CD player play and what will give me the most songs on a CD? I searched the archives and did not find a real good answer. I have access to itunes and windows media player. I understand that I can create a data CD in itunes that will hold approx. 150 songs on a CD. Is this my best choice? Thanks again for all the help.

The 06 bikes can play mp-3's, up to 150 songs on one CD. I believe the 05's are not set up for that, as they have the older radio/player.

The Harmon Kardon CD can read mp3 files, & as you have referenced, can put 150 songs on a disc. The 06's were the first year for this.

The 05's would not be able to read this format. I think you will have to burn as a "song" & hence, 18 is usual.

This is my understanding of it.

PS. I have an 06 & burn with mp3 format as you suggested & it works well on the HK unit.

I burn them on a music CD from Memorex as they are for home audio and computer writers.The songs have to be changed from ACC format to mp3's before you record them.Another thought is to burn them on an RW disc then play it to make sure it is right.Then transfer them to an R disc.........JB.
