It appears that IMGBurn only burns audio discs, not MP3 discs. It will use mp3 files as a source but decode them before burning only allowing 80 minutes max per disc. An mp3 disc can contain over 50 hours of files.

I drive rentals often and take MP3s that I have made for the Corvette and none have failed as far as I can tell. Some of the requirements I talk about here are obscure enough that some people might not notice (vbr leaving an extra 2 seconds of silence or cutting off 1/2 a second early, one long named song out of 100 missing, etc.) I would expect an MP3 that works in the Corvette nav unit will work almost anywhere.

In my experience the Corvette nav is the pickiest to get working. Once you learn the tricks they are easy to create and work perfectly but the learning curve to get the first one burned correctly can be steep. It is a very similar situation to using the nav for navigation. Some people hate it because they have never taken to time to figure out how it works. Others love it because they don't have any problems at all.

Before you buy a program, ITunes will work but I found it very difficult to get the desired folders and play order. It can be done but it is hard. I am burning a disc with Media Monkey at this moment and it was easier than ITunes to organize. I'll be back in a little while and let you know if it works in the nav.

EDIT! IT WORKS! Media Monkey created a disc that worked. I still used ID3TagIt and A.F.5 to massage the files first and you need to create your own directory structure but it worked! The magic incantation to get the right directory structure was, after starting to burn, the "disc format" should be "<folder:2>\<filename:25>" were "2" is the number of parent directories to ignore before creating directories on the CD. I used 2 because I had C:\erase\test\1, C:\erase\test\2, etc. and I wanted just directory 1, 2, etc. on the CD. I burned 84 songs (about half the disc) and, so far, I haven't found an error.

Media Monkey

P.S. I'm not saying Media Monkey is the best. I still prefer Nero. Media Monkey, like ITunes is over kill and too complex just to burn discs but it does work and it is a free download. You can purchase a Gold version that burns discs faster (among other things).

I use Nero ver 6.x, making sure the file name is the right length and burn the MP3's as a data CD. Works perfect in my 07 nav.

Try iTunes, its better for burning cd's for the Vette, can have as many characters and symbols in song titles as you want. Nero is great but iTunes is better for the Vette.

Yes, playing for a while and skipping to the next track is a symptom of VBR and files with a large dynamic range. You need L.A.M.E. http://lame.sourceforge.net/ to easily convert from VBR to a fixed rate. Unfortunately, because of patent restrictions, it is difficult to obtain. The link above is to the computer source code and you would need to compile the program from that source code which is above the capabilities of most users. There are programmers who will risk the ire of the patent attorneys and post lame.dll (sometimes also called lame_enc.dll) which is the compiled file that you need. Try Google. Be very careful where you download this file since you are downloading a program which could contain a virus...

I wouldn't install I-Tunes on a windows PC unless I had an Ipod and then its required. The program was made for a Mac and has always had problems with Windows. It is bloated, complicated and invasive.:thumbs:
