you have to be kidding me

factory radio? aftermarket?

its a blaupunkt mp3000, probably 3+ years old. ive had file errors in the past, but im pretty sure that was because of the disc, and as soon as i put a new one in, everything would work fine.

no, it sounds like he solved the problem before, but not now.

what?

1/25/2006 8:57:39 PM

TOC - "Information on the starting psotions of tracks in the area of the CD before audio or data"

are they burnt cds??

yeah, they are burnt mp3 data cds.

maybe you could try using a different burner to burn a cd and see if it plays in your radio then..........just a suggestion

ummm...i bought a deck about 4 years ago that reads mp3s....pretty sure AIWA made the first ones. I had a second gen AIWA deck..dont remember the model # though. MP3 decks have been out a while bud.

it didnt stop working when i put in a new cd, rather it stopped working while i was listening to one. i tried other cds that ive listened to before and now none work at all.

i might just get an adapter for my mp3 player instead of fixing it if this is broken.

try regular music CDs (if you have any)

or try a CO2 duster, usually if it loads and ejects corectly. and spins up, its gonna be dust on the lens
