Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Guys, I'm supposed to take delivery of my '04 C2 on Friday. (Going to Stuttgart...need anything?) I got the Bose option and was wondering what CD's to carry with me to listen to on the way back to Frankfurt. (No, I don't need music suggestions!) Should I leave my mp3's home? Thanks, Rob

POST 2Original post

I believe it will play CD-R media, but not CD-RW.

POST 3Original post

You know what's really funny speaking of this, is that bekkers cdr-23 will. So given that they're the same if you were to flash it with that firmware I bet it would, Just a thought-

POST 4Original post

I have been meaning to test this in my 2003. I'll burn a cd filled with .mp3s and try it on my way home from work. My guess is that it won't work...

POST 5Original post

It won't however if you burn an audio CD with CD-TEXT the name of the CD and the Songs will be displayed on the PCM2 monitor. Pretty cool. Some audio cd's like Hotel Costes 6 come with CD-TEXT.

POST 6Original post

Just curious how you burn a CD with CD-Text. I burn CDs with MP3s all of the time, and have had no trouble playing them on the Becker head unit on the Bose system in my '03. But, it would be really cool if the track names scrolled like some of the content that radio stations broadcast.

Does the MY2003 headunit play MP3 cds? CDR-23 with most bus???

POST 10Original post

Dimitri are you kidding? mp3 cds play on CDR-23?!?!!?!?!?!?!

POST 11Original post

I dunno?!? I have MP3 files that I burn to CD using Roxio's CD Creator 5 and they play on the CDR-23. If the format is changed to something other than MP3 in the process, maybe that explains it. All I know is that they work.

POST 12Original post

Here's what happens: When you create a new CD in Easy CD Creator, you have to tell the program if it's a Data CD or a Music CD. If you say it will be a Music CD, then when you drag and drop your .mp3 file into the 'project' Easy CD Creator automatically converts the .mp3 file to .wav format so the CD can be read by standard music CD players. As you might expect, the file gets a lot bigger in the process.

POST 13Original post

So what's the verdict? will MP3 format CDs plays in a MY03 CDR-23?

POST 14Original post

No it will not, I accidently burned a CD leaving the files in *.MP3 format. it does not play in the factory deck. However, It will play CDr's burned with *WAV format. Also, try to use the 74 min CDr's vs. 80 min CDr's With 80 min CDR's you'll run into problems once in a while( it'll play fine most of the time.) Peter

POST 15Original post

No problems you just have to record 80 min disc at a slower speed. A perfect audio disc should not be recorded at more than 4x speed. But you can get away with 8x speed. The problem with burning audio discs is that there is no error correction when burning CD Audio like with CD data. So when you record at let's say 52x speed you can hear a significant amount of subtle distortion.

POST 16Original post

Looks like others have answered this already...but I did try burning .mp3s to a cd the other day...definitely does not work. Pretty ridiculous really...it seems like every little cheap device on the planet plays .mp3s...that is other than our not so cheap cars!
