Yeah I have been making them audio CDs so I guess that's not the problem. Unfortunatley the one in my Magnum will sometimes not read regular CDs so I may have a problem. Actually, now that I think about it, my truck has only done it once or twice so maybe it was just a fluke. oh well. Thanks guys.

 

CD-R's with regular audio yes CD-R's with mp3s no.

 

Yup, you guys are right about the whole "audio CD" think, not "mp3 CD", and CD-Rs, not CD-RWs.

Also make sure your blank discs are made by a reputable company.

There are a dozen or so (ish) manufacturers of blank CDs. For example, Sony is usually a higher quality made CD or DVD (even though Sony usually doesn't make their own discs), while Memorex is a medium quality disc.

 

My RAH plays MP3's on CD-RW's no problem (roughly 150 or so songs to a 700mb CD). I can change it as often as I like.

 

interesting my 2003 ram with stock cd radio, can play mp3 tracks on CD-R just fine as well?

 

dan, do you burn the disc as an MP3 disc or do you burn the MP3s as an audio disc?

 

If you have this head unit in an 02-05, you can burn straight MP3's onto the disc as a data disc and it will read and play them up to 200 tracks.

 

Thank you all. I will just stick to the cd-Rs and hope it works.

 

Hi joe, not sure to be honest cannot remember. The first time I checked to see it it would play mp3 files, was when I downloaded the overhaulin theme tune, Kicking Harold's 'Gasoline'.
My ram loves playing it or should that be i love playing it in the ram
