I use mp3's and find they work great. The best thing to do is find a freind that knows how to burn mp3's and show you. I tried to figure it out myself but just ended up frustrated, so gave up till I had professional help!

RE: MP3's on CDs....anyone doing it?
i have used mp3 or wma formatted music on cd's for several years now.... its great, i usually burn mine at the highest quality which lets me fit 80 to 100ish songs on a disc...
i have a biketronice set up on my scoot with a sony 400, it does read floders and i set them up in folders... the hand control will change to the next folder, i dont have to look just hit the hand control and it goes to the next folder.... i convert all my cd's onto my computer to mp3 or wma as most newer systems can read either format... i have 100 gig of mp3/wma files on the puter and can create a cd within 5 minutes.... the only way to fly imho.

Not to mention that CD's that you purchase are running at 128kbs......if you are running a high end stereo at home I could see it, but not in a vehicle (car or bike!) Yellowtang, the next level is already out. They're called MP3 players, and you can buy them in memory or hdd format! I have one of both; a 30 GB iPod, and a 1.25 GB (SD memory) MP3 player. One is for travel, the other is for the gym.

I use MP3 as well. Convert the files to MP3 with iTunes & then burn. About 140 songs per disc.
The song title & artist come up automatically. This was an upgrade to the HK stereo a few months ago. Make sure your bike software is up to date.
Good Luck.

I love having an mp3 compatible CD player. You can put well over a hundred songs onto a single CD, and there's really no need for an iPod on your bike. Of course with an iPod you can get more music, but I can fit a lot of music on a few CDs.

RE: MP3's on CDs....anyone doing it?
Thanks guys for all the info... Think I can do it now. I will just rip them with a converter...freeware or itunes or whatever....and will rip them at at least 128k...may go with 160k for the hell of it. Then just burn it with no folders as data files using windows or nero. Sounds good. the folder thing was what I was curious about most. I guess it will still show the song title and artist though right?
Lastly...how do you tape Sirius to your computer. I got a Sirius account and can listen online, but didnt know you could tape it to the computer... That would be sweet!!!

The only thing with the MP3 on the HK stereo is mine will not read the songs only the track. I have had the dealer look at it and according to him it will not read "burned MP3" cds. My Pioneer stereo in my truck will read it everytime. I have not tried a regular CD since, I seem to burn everything.
jrudicel due to my lack of computer knowledge, I have a buddy that set me up with an MP3 program, I use Roxio to create all of my CD's and MP3 CD's. I may have to break down a play a real CD to see if it will read the songs.
