Technical MP3 Player

[RikyRich]

Hello guys, my MP3 CD player all of a sudden isn't recognising MP3 format cds. When i insert an MP3 cd it just stays skipping from one track to another and from one folder to another and doesn't play anything. Though when i play a cd with Audio format it plays the CD normally. Is it a software related problem of the player?? Can it be resetted on site or better to contact FIAT dealership?? (Note that player was recognsing MP3 & audo files since i bpough it) Please help

if the cars in warranty, take it back to the dealer.

haveing the battery off for half an hour might reset a software fault

Don't hurry to the dealers just yet. Is it a CDRW disc? If yes, burn it on lower speed (in fact that's valid for all cases) or try with CDRs. Clean the disc(s) - with water and soap - it's completely fine. You also have a "compressed" setting on the radio that's meant to improve playing of compressed audio, such as MP3.

Had exactly the same issue. Was caused by the fact I was using a CDRW, after which no other disc wanted to play. The problem fixed itself and I am still using the same CDRW, burned on 4x.

Actually about that "slow" burn speed. It was true(and still is) for crap media, but using high-quality Verbatim(MCC) or likewise you should have no issues burning at 48x+ speeds(CD-R). And that media will last you atleast 3-5 years while the cheap(at any speed) will be useless in 1-2 years MAX.

True, but I was not talking about how long a media would last, but rather easing up the player reading it.
