Any way to get iTunes songs purchased from iTunes Store to convert to MP3s? Songs on iTunes that were original mp3 will work, but stuff bought on iTune will not. Any help would be appreciated.

BTW, upgrading to MusicMatch Jukebox Plus is a good idea ($20). It provides faster copying (ripping) of audio CDs, processing options, and title tags off the internet. When you use MusicMatch to rip the iTunes audio CD, all title tags will be lost and MusicMatch will show the tracks as Track(1), Track(2)... etc. MusicMatch Plus will match title tags to the tracks off the internet without you having to enter them manually.

Okay what have I done wrong?
I have Musicmatch Plus and have never had trouble burning regular CDs and having them play in my computer, home stereo, or the 2006 with NAV. However, when I made some MP3s of songs from my library it will playback in my computer (as a data disc), but not in the NAV which is saying "NO VALID DISC"???

I am glad this thread started. We have worked hard to learn all the tech the c6 has. I have made mp3s with itunes with success but still very green. The car says folder 1. Does this mean you can have more than 1 folder on the disk? (putting 1 album per folder). or do you put 1 long list of 150 songs with titles.With the 6 cd changer & nav you could pac a lot of songs. The car would wear out befor you could hear them all. IF I could make folders it seems it would be a lot easier to find your tune. thanks for all the help!

Itunes are not MP3, they are M4p or something like that, and encrypted file. If you are Importing via Itunes from a CD you can however select to bring them in as mp3's.

clicked disc;
clicked change type;
clicked MP3...a check box went next to it and MP3 appeared across the top of the burner plus window;
I then dropped and dragged about 32 songs, until the 700mb was used and then burned it.
Like I said when I put the disc back in the computer and open it in Musicmatch, it shows as a data disc across the top and does play perfectly...but not in the car...I don't have a home stereo or any other device that reads MP3s in order to double check.

Click on "Options", then "Recorder" on the pull-down menu, then "Settings" on the recorder pull-down menu. Be sure the recording format is set to MP3, and set the recording quality where you want. MusicMatch Basic has a radio button for "CD Quality" at 128kbps...Someone here said that quality above about 192kbps was wasted for playing in your car. I recorded my test disc (MusicMatch Basic) at "CD Quality" (128kbps), and 20+ tracks only took up 9% of a 700mb disc. When I do the final product, I will try 192kbps.
Casey, you have a 2006, right? The NAV system in the 2005s would not play MP3s, but there is supposed to be a update disc available. I hope you didn't get a "left-over" 2005 NAV, but if you can't make it play MP3s any other way, it might be worthwhile to have your dealer check it out and do the update.

I can't help you with the NAV...don't have it...but, If its MP3 capable, I don't know why it wouldn't play the same MP3 disc my Bose unit plays.

Ok, I can burn my MP3 discs with Itunes(Windows) and Music Match and Roxio (Creator Classic).
Now the problems:
Itunes:
I use volume leveling and it seems to do a good.
I burn a playlist to disc and it plays, the artist and track name and album all show in the display. The full track names show in the track list. The problem is that the tracks are not played in the order of the playlist, they are played in the order of the track # from the original albums. In other words, all the #1 tracks play then the #2 tracks,etc... Any way to make them play in the order of the Itunes playlist?
Music Match:
Same results as Itunes for the most part. Only other problem is that the full track name and artist and album show in the main menu but the track names are truncated to 3 to 5 characters in the track list menu.
Tried the options for including the playlist file on the disc put did not make any difference in the track order problem.
Anyone have any ideals on how to make these play in the order of the original playlist?
The wife's SL65 plays the Itunes MP3 discs in the order of the original play list and displays the full track names. So it may just be a problem/limitation of the GM software.

I usually use an ID3 tag editor to rename songs to play in alphabetical order.
