Will Stereo Play Mp3 Discs?

[Matty]

I have an '03 GS300 with the stock stereo ( I assume a Pioneer). Does anybody know whether or not the disc changer will play CDs with music in MP3 format?

Thanks.

Yes, of course. But unless you specifically set your iTunes to burn the disc in MP3 format, it didn't. I'm not sure what the default is (maybe MPEG) but MP3's are much smaller files allowing you to put literally hundreds of tracks onto one CD. That's basically how you can fit so much music onto your iPod. But not all CD players can read MP3 files. I suppose I could burn a disc in MP3 format and test it, it's just that you may waste a disc that way and I thought somebody in the forum would know and therefore save me the trouble.

If, in fact, you did burn the songs in MP3 format on the disc that you've played, let me know.
