I have a '07 with the nav and mp3 player. I am having trouble making a mp3 cd so the file system works correctly. The first ones I made played fine and showed the track info but when I went to track select all the songs were not listed and some would not take you to the correct song. But at least the entire song title was shown. So I read the manual closer and it says it supports ID3 tag information v1.0 or v1.1 and all applicable Mode 1 recording formats supported. So I went to my software and it makes no mention of this Mode 1. I am using CD-R as the book says.

Can someone tell me what settings to set my software to record an mp3 disc that the stock player can read. I put the settings at the lowest capability and it plays and now the directory does work but the files ony have 6 charactor id's and underscores for spaces. Example, if a song was titled "Love My Vette" the directory would only show "01_Love_M" and that is all.

I can set my software to Presentation Formats .m3u, .pls, .wpl, HighMAT, MPV, XPSF and File Systems ISO 9660, Joliet (which the book says is not supported), or UDF 012.

Sorry I made this so long but I was trying to explain the problem. I would just like to make an mp3 disc that the directory shows the full name of the song and brings you to the right file.

If someone can straighten out a mixed up old timer I would appreciate it. All these choices are new to me. I love driving my vette but it would be nice if I could make this work right also.

Thanks for the help in advance.

 

im sure theres some ripping software out there that fills in ID3 tags automatically, but i dont know of it. i have to fill in my tags manually.

with that said, im not even sure how to fill in the tags other then queuing up the songs in Winamp, and then going to View File Info, and manually entering/changing the tags there. oh, and make sure the id3v1 and id3v2 tags are the same. ive gotten some weird file names to show up on my head unit when theyre different.

 

CDEX contains the best encoders, does the id3 tags, is highly configurable, and costs $0.

 

Same for REACT/EAC, but embeds album art, replay gain (not to be confused with normalization), logs ripping errors and can create multiple formats at once.

 

Alright! Thanks for the help guys

 

As long as you are doing it on a machine with internet access, Windows Media Player (Im using V11) will go out and find the song titles and cover art when you rip CD's.

 

According to a Corvette marketing guru in Detroit the unit in my 2008 was prpduced by DENSCO in Japan and there are known problems playing CD's burned with ID3 v1 tag data.
