Default Sony CDX changer problem reading mp3s.

Many thanks, Dave. So the problem can be overcome - excellent news. The
changer was installed by Halfords, who tell me they used a Sound On Top
interface, which turns out to be a partnership venture between Connects 2
and Sony. They have a website at www.soundontop.co.uk Sony are looking
into my problem and are getting back to me............

From my experience....


After the first install I found that the changer would NOT skip backwards

or
forwards through the tracks... rather, it would return to the first track
whenever track skip was pressed. As you can imagine this is quite
frustrating when you're on track 78 and you want to skip to 80 and all the
machine does is return you to 01. A different unit was installed and I had
the same problem.

After some communication with Connects 2 (who were knowledgeable and
helpful), Sony and the fitting company (more about them later) we found

out
that early models of this changer DID NOT work correctly with the Connects

2
convertor. In fact, only models after a certain serial number were
compatible and offered full track skipping functionality. On the third
attempt I got one of these fitted and everything has worked since then.

Is your adapter a Connects 2... you may be suffering from the same

problems
I had with my first 2 changers...

Should have nothing to do with burn method as long as they are burned as
data although some people recommend that the disc is finalised after
burning... I've not experienced any issues with not finalising discs but
there you go

Good luck
