Depending on the program you have for burning CD's, you may be able to change the pause time in between songs.

As stated above, MP3 music cd's work, but you can only hold about 30 or so songs. My program doesn't allow me to attach the CD-text to MP3 music cd's, so I just use the regular CD format so I can have the song title show up on the screen.

A 700mb cd-r or cd-rw will hold around 60-70 songs. Depending on the size of each song in mb. This is what I do. I use Roxio software to burn discs, and it burns mp3 files alphabetically. On the MMCS it shows all the file names in a list (which if you name them right are the artist and song titles) and it takes about 2-3 seconds in between tracks. This is maybe a 1 second or so slower than my old pioneer deck. You do have to remember that the system has to OPEN mp3 files and play them. So yes, its probably the software that is lagging opening up the mp3 songs.

CD's that are written normally (time wise, not data) is totally different and is faster in between tracks.

One thing to remember is the MMCS will only record music from a music-disc and not from a data-disc (mp3). If you dont know the difference between the two you have to business posting.

I have heard that people have burnt mp3's onto dvd-r's and they worked just fine for playing, just like a regular mp3 cd, but again you can not rip them. I have not tried using a dvd-r, as I just loaded my music onto the server in the beginning, but if you have a lot of music and you don't want to rip them to the mmcs, then this might be an easy option.

If someone can pull out the Hard Drive, in the unit, and its anything like a PC HDD. It's hackable, and anyone should be able to connect it to a PC and transfer all their data, even replace the HDD and drop in a much higher capacity unit for cheap. I'm a computer nerd. I'm new to the forums and just got an 07 with 6k miles fully loaded, love it! I haven't had time to play with the radio and the burning features. I'll see about pulling the drive out and manually loading my 9,000 mp3's on the bad boy. :-) Although maybe only half of them will fit on the tiny 30 GIG drive. i'll report in when I figure it all out.

Search the forums for MMCS Unlock. It is most certainly not as simple as pulling the hard drive and copying mp3s to it. a) the drive is locked with ATA (easy to get around now though), b) the files in the music server are not in mp3 format (exact format and DRM is still unknown).

Also I've tried burning mp3s to a DVD-R as a data disc with no luck. People who have burned audio files to a DVD burned it as a DVD-Video disc, using the DVD-menus to switch between songs (which you can't do while vehicle is in motion).
