I put a deposit on a new Acura TSX yesterday that had an In-dash MP3
CD player as an option. (A regular 6-cd changer is standard, with the
option of either a cassette player or MP3 player. I did not order
either yet. It's single CD MP3 player.

I'm wondering if I can simply burn the MP3's onto a CD using EZCD
Creator and have the In-Dash system be able to read them or do I need
to use something else?
Currently, I have the MP3's in Folders and Sub-Folders on the
computer. Can an MP3 CD player decipher that sort of structure or do
I need to lay them out differently?

I hate choosing between the tape and MP3, but I can see that the MP3
will probably be more convenient in the long run. I'm just hoping I
can just burn them to CD the way they are right now on my computer and
have the MP3 CD player in the dash read them that way.

Thanks-
Vickie

That CD/mp3 player plays regular cds too right? It should...

As for structure, depends on the deck. Some can be like you have it, some
they have to be all in the root directory, no folders. (the latter could be
older decks tho)

One caution.... my buddy has a Pioneer MP3 deck (DEH-P850MP), and his wont
read CDs burned faster than 4x, so you may have to experiment with that.
Hey, cds are damn cheap anyway....

I just bought an Alpine CDA7915 and it plays mp3's even if burned in a
"cd-rw" at any speed, BUT it will not go more than one directory deep, so I
can have songs in the root directory and in the folders in the root
dorectory, but if I make a folder within a folder it will be out of reach.
