General Blaupunkt CD/MP3

[diablo_NL]

I ordered a Grande Punto Dynamic last week with the CD/MP3 option. Because I have to wait like 2 months for it I deceided to start making MP3 Cd's of my music collection, but I have a question. Can the Blaupunkt MP3 player read Id3 tags and also I would like to know if the player is able to see folders because that would make the organizing process a lot easier. Thanks for the help!

I don't own a Grande Punto cry but I would hazard a guess that it would be able to see folders and I'm pretty sure it would read id3 tags too

 

[diablo_NL]

Thanks for the fast reply H2DaE! But is there anybody who knows this for sure?

 

[Bob in disguise]

tbh i dont think your get much answers cause theyre so new no one knows!

I know mines got the mp3/cd jobby in it but i dunno even how to make a mp3 cd!

 

[H2DaE]

mp3 CD's are easy to make, just use Nero or Easy CD Creator and make a data CD with the mp3 files on - sorted

 

[Bob in disguise]

So they have to be .mp3 files or will .wma work?

.mp3 mine are all in that format

I think that the technical aspects(not the shape) of the radio in the new Punto are the same as for example the Idea and Panda. It's important because I can't continue now making a nice collection with MP3 because if it's possible I would like to use folders on my CD.

@Bob in disguise, Why you are not using it? It's great because you can put like about 170 songs on one CD!

 

[H2DaE]

Bob, it all depends on the player, my JVC one will play wma's, but Sony units, for example, won't

I have a sony unit

Diablo_NL Have you checked blaupunkt website????

I've always just plugged my mp3 player into the car and used all the music on that, but now i got to start using the mp3 thingy when i get my punto in a few weeks

EDIT: was just looking on blaupunkts website and their normal head units say they support varible bit rates so would this mean it play .wma as well as .mp3?

No, variable bitrates is about the quality of the MP3's and doesn't mean it can also play WMA. It should say specificaly that it plays WMA.

The radio's for the Grande punto that has the MP3 option can't play WMA's.

I have a sony unit

Sony don't support wma because they didn't invent it They only support mp3 and ATRAC (The minidisc format)

I wasnt debating...i was stating i had a sony unit

 

[H2DaE]

I was just ranting about Sony's awkwardness in almost every format war

 

[Bob in disguise]

All my music files on my pc are .wma

Is there a way of getting them to burn as .mp3 to play on the cd player in the car then?

 

[H2DaE]

Erm if you have a spare few hours and a copy of Sony Soundforge, Easy CD Creator or one of those mp3 converter programs it's possible

 

[James B]

the blaupunkt mp3/cd unit in my mk 2b reads id3 tags ok is that is any help

 

[H2DaE]

Well if that one does then I'm pretty sure the new one will

Just been reading about the new Blue & Me Bluetooth system that Fiat have been showing at the Geneva Motor Show. http://www.its-gsa.de/blueandme/fiat/Home.aspx

Just wondering, if this is the system that will be fitted to the Sporting as the description sounds very similar to what is in the Grande Punto brochure, if it is then you will be able to plug your MP3 player straight into the car and use the voice controls to access the tracks
