magnum46 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 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 Noob Here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 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.

Platinum850Wagon Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Every CD I burn works in my 850. Got an 816 in there....CDRW is what I use... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyblue Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 GENERALLY, you'll need to buy the "Music" CDR's. The 850 era CD players have weak lasers in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lengendsecko87 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 make sure they burn as a Audio CD, not a MP3 CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 burned CDs work in my 816 only if they are burned @ 1x or 2x...any other speed and it won't read them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaskMule Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Its gotta be the 816 or later model. 815's don't play burned CD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergmjs Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIZIO AKA 1 HND MEC Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 make sure they burn as a Audio CD, not a MP3 CD. This is the only way to go for the 8xx series radio. :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che'_Moderator Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 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......

TaskMule Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 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. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
