Default MP3 Encoding

I made an MP3 CD and some of the songs were encoded at 320kbps. The MP3 player had problems decoding these songs and failed to play them in thier entirety. Has anyone else expereinced this? Is there a limitation in the bit rate and sampling rate?

Copied from the '05 manual:

This MP3 player will accept MP3 files that were recorded
on an up to 700 MB CD-R CD. The files can be
recorded with the following fixed bit rates: 32 kpbs,
40 kpbs, 56 kpbs, 64 kpbs, 80 kpbs, 96 kpbs,
112 kpbs, 128 kpbs, 160 kpbs, 192 kpbs, 224 kpbs,
256 kpbs, and 320 kpbs or a variable bit rate.

I never used such a high bit rate as 320, so I can't say.

shouldn't be a problem at all. You just have better quality sound at 320

Your problem is not related to the 320 rate ... could be the recording media, speed you recorded, etc .... its fussy .... I use 320 all the time.

I have the same problem using Verbatim 32X blanks, so I don't think it's an issue of cheap media. It sounds like the next thing I'll try is slowing down the burn rate.

Interesting... I downconverted the MP3 to 160kbps and reburned using the same burn rate and CD brand and the same exact songs played fine.

Good info, thanks. A quick and probably dumb question, but will the C6 nav system read AAC files, or strictly MP3?

I've had no trouble using 256kpbs as my standard.

Which burning software are you using? That seems also to make a difference ... did you try burning at a slower speed too?

Only mps. I rip at 192 Variable bit rate. I also DO NOT use itues for bunrning. I simply select the folders/files in the "Finder" (mac) itunes library and drag and drop. Make sure you're burning preferences are correct i.e. MP3.

Buona fortuna!

Rip CBR (constant bit rate) @ 192 your favorite discs and make sure it stores it in a folder and numbers the track in the "preferences" of the ripper. Once you ripped all the music you want, insert a blank disc. Drag and drop a few folder into the blank disk. Burn it as a DATA disc.
Try it out...let me know.
