Has onyone checked if the CD player will play Audio Formated CD that have been burnt in a CD_RW, either it be audio, or Mp3 converted to Audio.

Or....If it played straight Mp3's off a CD? that would be great to know also.

One thing I do like is that I have a 128mb mp3 player. So I can always plug it right into the aux jack.

According to the Element owner's manual, the stock CD player that comes in EX models will play CD-R discs as long as they're high-quality discs designed for audio use. The player will not play CD-RW discs.

I hope it can also handle my 100 CD spindle for $8.00 Cheapos, which are loading up currently with Widespread, TOO, DEAD, and lots of rips from RadioParadise.com

But to answer you, yes. I wouldn't advise adding that MP3 player, however, which is an option with the stereo. Just use your plug in, until they come out with some good aftermarket, low cost, play everything cd players that can handle SHN,MP3,WMF etc....

Perhaps then we can rip out our stereos and Ebay them to those of you in the DX <g>

Hey gang.

:arrow: Yes!! I am a pseudo DJ and make and burn CD's alll the time and play them in the Element just Fine!! You will have no problem!

Glen,

Thanks for the info, now we know. :D

i would hope so. All my cd collection are burned cd's

Hi all,

OK, I joined the modern age. My wife and I went out and got a CD burner last night. I went and made a bunch of Cd's.

They do play great in the Element's CD player.

As I have said in earlier......much nicer to play a copy of your favourite cd in the "E" so that you don't worry about runining that expensive Japanese import of Abba's Greatest Hits; as an example. :lol:

CdCopy is great for making copies of music cds.

I have a Honda Element 2003 and have tried and tried to play burned CD's on CD my player. They do play fine on my computer. But all I hear is a horrible intense sound on my car player. And I have tried other CD's my friend made for her own player that also don't work on mine.

What could be the problem?

I am using Memorex CD-R, 52X 700MB 80 min discs.

Thanks.

First, I want to say how impressed I am with you Popart!!!
First, you have brought a thread that is OVER 8 years old back from the dead!!
This has to be the oldest thread I have seen brought back!!!
Second, you didnt start a new thread, you used the SEARCH button!!! Brings a tear to my eye!! :razz:

Couple of questions for you, what type of files are you burning to your CD-R's?? WAV, MP3, etc??
Do regular store bought CDs play in your radio??

This will hopefully help get your answer.

one is .mp3, another is flv and others are .flac

yes, store-bought ones do play fine.

i must be doing something wrong in burning them or maybe files need to be converted to other format?

i didn't even look at date of previous posts!

thanks for any help you can offer.

I forgot to tell you to please finish filling out your profile. You said you had an
03 E, but you didnt say what model. That being said, I know what your problem
is. The OEM radio in the 03 will only play WAV files. Even my 08 will only
play WAV and MP3s. No way they will play flac or flv files. Not sure if you have
the owners manual, but you can find a copy here thanks to ramblerdan:

If you really want to play those file types on your radio, you are going to have
to get an aftermarket deck.

surely jojo will show shortly since there was a zombie sighting. :-)

hi,
sorry to take so long responding.
the files are .flac and .wav.
the discs play in my computer.
any ideas?
thanks.

i just tried a .wpl file that produced a loud bzzzzzz.

i just copied a wav file onto a cd-r disc and tried to play it in my car. no go. just a buzzzzz
again!

Im pretty sure the disks have to be finalized, closed.

Disks should be finalised and, IIRC, the files have to be .wav, .mp3, or .wma, or of course CD audio. Even then, as with anything in the realm of burned media, you have a 10-20 percent risk of incompatibility.

i did finalize the disc. and i'm using a memorex cd-r disc. is that one audio?
