Stream MP3 Question & Changer

LSainsbury · 23-04-2007, 09:59

Hello all,

Another *dumb* question!

If you have a Stream MP3 head unit and a 6 disc changer - can you put MP3 CD's in the changer and will the Stream MP3 head unit play them? Or is it just limited to the Stream MP3 itself?

Cheers

Lee

The CD Changer isn't MP3.

Fair enough!

For a moment I thought I could have 6 MP3 discs in the changer ready for playing!!

I presume the Audience will play all 6 cd's loaded if they are MP3 as the changer and head unit are all in one?

Clever clogs!? How many tracks does one want to mix through at any one time (Audience unit can do 6 x mp3 disc?).

I find one mp3 disc with 110 - 120 tracks lasts me for 2 - 3 weeks before I get bored and need to change discs!

I don't use the CD changer in the boot!

**mannyo** · 23-04-2007, 14:08

Its quiet handy having just over 4GB in music loaded into the hu, I have recorded the discs acording to their age/style. So if I want easy listening then select disk 1, Dance then disk 2 etc... Then stick the player on Random (folder) and it will play for hours and you dont know what track is next.

Currently Disks 1-5 contain various 80s DJ CDs, and disk 6 contains most of the current top albums.

The dealer told me that if I use copied / home burnt disks then I'd invalidate the warranty !

He couldn't give me an answer when I asked him if he knew where I could buy pre-burnt MP3 disks from.

I know there just covering their backs with the warranty but I wonder if this was thought through properly being as I don't know anywhere that sells MP3 disks commercially.
Meaning that to use this feature of the stereo you have to invalidate the warranty.

Anyway mine seems to be playing MP3 disks fine.

I think he was having a grin when he told you that.

My thoughts exactly

To sidetrack slightly - has anybody tried removing the CD autochanger? I use an mp3 player through the aux socket in the jumbo box, so don't really need to use the CD changer - the extra space in the boot could be useful, so if there is an easy and non-damaging way of removing the CD changer I'd be grateful to know.

Looks pretty simple to take out. Use the removal keys to take the unit out of the cage, disconnect the cable and remove the cage.

Whippetlady · 25-04-2007, 12:37

Hi Stu - are 'removal keys' something that one has to acquire? I had a removal tool for taking out the radio in my last car, so I assume you are referring to something like that?

Steve vRS · 25-04-2007, 12:51

Does anyone know what all the other slots in the auto-changer cabinet are for?

Steve

**VRStu** · 25-04-2007, 16:40

Yes it would something similar I suspect. Normally a flat thin peice of metal.

The other slots could be for anything DIN sized really
