Hi

I have some music in various format, MP3, WMA.. etc.

I've tried to burn music CD's but they won;t play in the 850.

Is there a specific kind of CD to use that is more suitable? I use CDR not CDRW
Is there special software to use?

Alternatively, is there a way to make it read music from my IPhone? or a USB Drive?

Thanks

I don't believe you have any options that will work with the 850 CD players.

You can get a BlitzSafe adaptor that hooks to the CD changer port on the stereo and that will allow you to use your iPhone, iPod, etc. That is what I use since I am still on the stock radio.

GENERALLY, you'll need to buy the "Music" CDR's. The 850 era CD players have weak lasers in them.

make sure they burn as a Audio CD, not a MP3 CD.

burned CDs work in my 816 only if they are burned @ 1x or 2x...any other speed and it won't read them.

Its gotta be the 816 or later model. 815's don't play burned CD's.

CDs play just fine in my 815.. It might be a difference between CD-R and CD+R. I don't recall which I used.

This is the only way to go for the 8xx series radio. :tup:

Topic is aweful. If you use a program to write your CDs then just select audio cd not data.

If you write from prompt you need to assure 1. You are recording them as .wav not mp3 2. That you close the session.

The speed the CD is written at has nothing to do with play back......

I guess I tried cd-r with my 815 then. Never got it to work. But when I tried +r and -r in my 816, no problem with either. Doesn't really matter now, the 816 just died and I'm getting something that isn't a 14 year old design. Gonna be nice.
