Hi Sunflowerluv,

I'm new on here, but I think I have an answer for you.

I have a CD burning software called "Nero," which can burn the type of CD that I think you want. I'm guessing here, but do you mean the type of CD that plays on a household CD player?

When I use Nero, I can choose the type of CD I want. With Nero, I can tell by how many songs fit onto the CD by looking at the progress bar at the bottom of the screen. With the type of player I think you've got, you can fit approx 20 songs on it, depending on how long each song is. If you burn the type of CD that I use, with mp3s, you will fit approx 150 songs on a CD.

I'm not into technical stuff, but when you next buy a CD player for your home or car, ask whether it can play mp3s before you buy. I believe it's got something to do with the size of the file- a thing called compression.

One other thing you might try, as an experiment, is to burn a CD with just a few songs as mp3s, and try playing it through your DVD player and TV set, if you have both. You'll know whether you're in with a chance, because you'll be able to see your songs on the TV screen.

If that works, (you must have the TV set switched on!) you'll have the functionality of your DVD remote control and be able to view the songs on a menu on the TV screen, scroll up and down, and play the songs in any order you want.

If it works for you, it might save you from buying an extra piece of kit just to play mp3s. I suggest that, because here in England it works fine for me. I do realise that in America, your DVD players are different in some way to ours. As I said earlier, I'm not a technical type of person, so if it doesn't work- it won't break - so you've lost nothing.

Would you please let me know how you get on with my suggestion??

Best regards,

Dave.
