First off, I have a 2005 G35 stock stereo. What program do you guys use to burn MP3s? I tried burning a CD-RW using Toast and when I put it in my stereo it could not read it. Can I burn MP3s to a CD-R instead....I have quite a few more of them. I tried to use Itunes to burna MP3 CD, but gave up. Do I need to create folders for Toast or can I just drag and drop a bunch of MP3s in the audio window.

 

Hi,
I use Nero. Basicly you just drag your MP3's, folders and all to the cd. I'm using cheap *** cd's and they read fine. You should burn the cd's as data cd's not audio or mixed mode. Hope this helps.

 

can the sock g35 play mp3..or do you have to convert them to a cda format??

 

Cd-RW will prob not be recognized. CD-R's will work though.

Try: NTI CD maker or Roxio.

You should be able to just copy the .mp3 files to the cd. Make sure you are creating a data CD and not an Audio CD, so the files are moved as .mp3 data files.

 

i believe you also have to remember to finalize the CD

 

I just made a CD full of mp3s and used Nero. Like mentioned above, just create a data CD with folders. The folders help sort your music so you don't browse through 100+ songs to find the one you're looking for. Now all I need to do it figure out how to turn on the song tags to see what I'm listening to.

 

For CD-RW you need to finalize the disc in order for it to be played. I don't have a G yet, but my corolla can play CD-RW, so I'm pretty sure the G can also.

 

Nero is the easiest way and cheapest way to do it.. Good recommend

 

When buring, choose the Write Method "Disc-at-once/69" it's from the pulldown menu on the burn screen. The inyour G just hold down the DISP button.

 

OK....thanks for the tips. I was able to get several CD-Rs burned last night with a good library of MP3 files. Sweet.

 

roxio or nero w/cdrs

 

OK, i thought I was good to go, but then I played the CD. It only plays the first 4 folders and I have about 12 folders worth of stuff. Do i need to put everything in 1 folder or create subfolders within the first 4 folders?

 

Try putting them all in one folder.

 

has anyone tried burning mp3's to a dvd disc and then playing it in your car? i dont get my G35 for a few weeks so I cant try it yet but I will.

 

I beleive it won't read a DVD...not 100% though
