All my songs are there, but mine skips some, and sometimes switches to the next song in the middle of one playing. They play fine on my aftermarket deck in my other car, on my computer and on my home dvd player. Ive tried every brand cd I could find, different burners, programs, etc. Nothing helps. It only does it with MP3s. If I make a regular music cd with the same media and programs, they work fine. It something I guess I will have to live with, I dont trust the dealer to replace the radio.

there have been some other posts about this topic ...I'm not sure if any conclusions were reached ... I have this occasionally on a couple of mine but it hasn't been enough of an issue for me to take the time to do more elaborate testing on media types or burning software effects on this - others may have some leads ... I think it does have to do with a combo of the software to burn and the media and not a prob with the radio itself.

Did you use iTunes to burn the CD? If so, be sure that none of the track data (song title, artist, album name) is longer than 22 characters. Any track with more characters will not be recognized by the C6s hardware.

Craig-
Do you use VBR (variable bit rate) when you rip the mp3s? I had the same problem and then used a constant bit rate and now no skipping to the next song in the middle of a song. Hope it helps.

Also, my song maybe shorter, so more will fit.

192 is usually considered the lowest bitrate that will maintain CD quality.
160 is often considered acceptable, and 128 is about the limit when most people start to notice. Below about 112 and it's pretty obvious the quality has been compromised.

I've created discs with over 140 songs on them and have yet to have a problem.

I tested Verbatim, Memorex, CompUSA, and Sony blank CD-Rs. I found the Sony to be the most resistent to skipping. Other brands would skip after a week or so of playing. Several months have passed and the Sonys haven't skipped. YMMV. Thanks.

For MP3 cd's I use Sony CDR-Music CD's. If I use regular CD's small bumps will make them skip. Be sure to burn your disc in 2X or 1X mode.
I have found that burning the disc in faster modes will cause more problems.
The Sony Music discs are made a little different than the data CDs.

I assume that you are riping the CD audio to your hard disk in MP3 format.
I assume that you are using some program (I use XP to write) to write the new CD.
What you may be doing is writing an audio disk (that will put the data in CD audio format) which will only allow 10 -20 songs or so.
You need to select DATA DISK for the MP3 files and you will get in the neighborhood of 100 or so songs (on a 700MB CD).
