I've only just started burning mp3 cd's for my car sterio, and they play fine, but they only play up to folder 99, I'm not sure why it will not play triple digit tracks. The actual track number always stays on "Track 01", because I've set each song into its own folder. Is this why this is happening? It says F01 - So Cold by Breaking Benjamin, then F02 - The Wall by Korn, all the way to F99 - I Stand Alone by Godsmack, but then starts F01 all over! It skips about 102 songs because it can't register the triple digit tracks. Why does it only register 99 tracks? How is the best way to put as many songs onto the cd without my player only playing 99 of those songs? I feel stupid asking, but if I left them playing by the track this is the problem I'm having. Will more songs play if I play them by the band name or put more than one in each of those 99 folders? I'm just new to this, so any help will be greatly appreciated. Also, is there a great MP3 CD compatable boombox that I should check out, because I've tried 2 of them, one is a durabrand, and the other a phillips (the better of the two.) But neither play as well as my car sterio. They both skip tracks and miss on songs. I hope this isn't a repeat of a question...sorry if it is. BBPower
I'm not sure of this, but think you might have better luck if you just renumber the tracks instead of putting them into seperate files... I think most dvd/mp3 players etc will read upto 1000 files, but only so many folders.. and I think that's what your problem is. Renumber the tracks into something like 01artistalbum.wma or whatever and split the collection into around 20 folders and see if that works.. you could also name the folders 01collection, 02collection etc so that they would play in the order of the numbers too. hope that helps
Thanks, I'll try that. I thought it was something to do with the total folders, and not reading tracks over 99 in each folder either. But I like your idea of tagging it in collections. I like mixes much better, ...unless it's Breaking Benjamin. lol BBPower
