Title: CD70 Navi MP3 problems
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 21 June 2015, 11:46:02
I'm having trouble with my CD 70 Navi. I cannot seem to get the MP3 facility to work.

Am I doing something wrong?

I have tried CDs. They play as they should with 'CD' highlighted. I then made a CD for data. I transferred my MP3s onto this, hoping this would make a space-saving disc to keep all my favourite songs, plus give me the ability to play them from one disc. No such luck. The disc will not play at all with the error message 'invalid disc' showing on the display.

My question is.....


How can I play music as MP3 on the CD Navi System? Or is this option only available to me if I attach an MP3 player to the system using the aux facility, which I don't seem to have?

Any ideas, chaps?

Depends on the cd drive spec. What's it compatible with?

I think this is what I've already done?

I made a data disc in computer, and then transferred MP3s to it. I thought this was the correct route to take.

I may be wrong but I'm sure you should have made it as an audio CD and burnt the music to it as .mp3 format  ;)

I haven't done it for a while, but I'm sure on windows media player 11 the drop down menu gives you the choice of music, data or MP3.
I know this because I was once trying to make a music cd and, after I'd finished, realised I'd hardly used any disc space because it was set to MP3.

Should take a normal cd filled with MP3's fine.

How did you burn it?  what software?  suspect it may be written in the wrong format.

As pong as it plays all of the tracks, that's fine. It may just show CD for both music and MP3 CD's.
