RE: mp3 cd
Tuefelhunden,
I believe that when people are talking Audio CD Vs Data CD they are speaking of the CD burn format not the media. When burning a cdyou have the choice to burn an Audio or DataCD, and in order to create a mp3 cd you must use data format when you burn.mp3 files are compresed audio data files, CD audio files are uncompressed audio files and are much larger that is why you can only fit 10 or so on a cd. If you choose audio CD as the format when you burn, your burning program will uncompress the mp3 and convert it to the larger CD audio format, the reverse of ripping and audio cd. If you choose the data CD burn format the burn program simply burns the existing mp3 data file to the cd-r with no conversion. With the mp3 being a compressed smaller file you are able to fit many more on the cd.either waythere is no difference in the media for audio or data, in fact all burnable cd's are either cd-r or cd+r. the "r" means recordable the "+ or -" is the media standard. You should use the cd-r it is an olderstandard and more compatable with more devices. I tried to simplify it as much as possible and hope that i did not add to the confusion.

Audio cd's and data cd's are the same, the name is just a marketing tool. 1's and 0's are 1's and 0's, no matter what they represent. Just do yourself a favor, and pay the little bit extra for good quality cd's. (They can be found on sale in 50 or 100 disc spools on a regular basis)

When creating a DATA CD for MP3's can you create folders on that CD like one for Rock and one for Country? Will the CD/MP3 player read those folders?

most cd players that play mp3 will but on the harley Harman Kardon I don't think it has the controls to navigate the folders so I always just burn them all to the root, I will have to experiment with that one.

When you put that CD in your bike's stereo it will play like a music CD, one track (MP3 file) at a time. You can get about 200 songs on a CD this way. Beats the hell outa music CD's.

RE: mp3 cd
Actually it is not a marketing tool. CD's in general are the same however those that are labeled as MUSIC CD's are manufactured with a marker that allows those with Audio CD Recorders to record. When audio CD recorders were first introduced, they required this marker in order to use a CD. CD's with this marker were more expensive because a portion of their price went to the music industry to cover the copying.
Today it's pretty much a moot point as any PC can create a music CD with regular disks.
MP3's are the way to go now days. Like most everyone has said, once you have selected the MP3 files, just burn them as a data CD. Have fun.

RE: mp3 cd
You can put them in folders but you cant navigate through the folders on the HK units. You can however put it on random and it will go through all of your folders. I hope they fix this down the road with a software update.
