Anti-Spam said:The answer is almost certainly NO, would need an entirely different
signal processing system. CD players are basically WAV file players,
where as MP3 files are cleverly compressed audio files (thats how they
manage to get so many tracks on a standard CD), which need a lot of
intelligent uncompressing. Most CD players do not have that sort of
intelligence nor signal processing power.
It's a fairly emphatic "No". Your CCR2006 can not decode MP3 files andC said:So that's a "don't know" as far as you are aware?
Dave Spam said:It's a fairly emphatic "No". Your CCR2006 can not decode MP3 files and
therefore will not play them.
Further more, the unit it's self can not be upgraded to play MP3 files.
You would need to replace the CCR2006 with a Kenwood, Alpine, Sony, JVC
unit that can decode and play MP3 music files.
Do you have steering wheel volume controls and/or is the CCR2006 status
displayed on the dash? Yes? You will also need adapters if you wish to
continue using those features. Allow £50 to £100 for adapters, cables etc.
C R Briggs said:etc.
Thanks Dave,
I was hoping that it might be possible to do a "software upgrade" type of
modification to the CCR2006 to enable decoding of MP3, but you reckon not.
As for the rest of your info, yes, the car has the steering wheel volume
controls and is the CCR2006 status is displayed on the dash, so your
information is of value. For now we will just let it do what it does and
not worry about MP3.

Convert your MP3's to audio CD.s on your computer using a WR CD...and
NERO.
Actually you are wrong your CCR2006 will play mp3 files if they areC R Briggs said:Well that wouldn't actually "solve the problem" would it - since the CCR2006
still would not play MP3. Whilst it would circumvent the issue, I would
prefer that the CCR2006 played MP3; and if it won't, and it cant be
upgraded, then that's the end of the matter for me.

No big deal. Surely you don't give up at the first hurdle......or do you.!
C R Briggs said:Call me pedantic if you wish, but your "solution" would not enable the
CCR2006 to play MP3.
You can keep a nice "collection" of stuff on vynil/cd and make your ownMichael said:Not so sure about that, I've, cough, acquired MP3's of vinyl LP's I own
and burned them as an audio CD using Nero without problems, the real
benefit of an MP3 file is that you can have dozens on a CD whereas on an
audio you're restricted to 20ish tracks, depending on length etc.
