Default Mp3 cd problem

I've burned a lot of discs for my 2006 ultra, mp3 data format, and they all worked until now. I burned this disc on a new computer so maybe did something wrong. The only thing I noticed was that it burned in 24x. Is that too high of a burn speed? Any ideas?

I know I have had problems reading mp3 cd's on my 08 Ultra if I tried burning faster than somewhere around 8x.

That's what I thought. If my memory serves me right, 8x is the magic number.

I'm not sure. Some free cd burning program.

Pop the new disk that won't play in bike into your computer and see if there is anything on it?

also, if you are using embedded artwork, it won't work. they also must be in mp3 format. and if you can strip the id tags, that would help as well.

Bingo !! "Skratch" is passing on some excellent advice ... Embedded artwork ( data ) can cause a lot of problems ... MP3Tag ( http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ ) can help you with this.
