Sorry guys..I tried the search but couldn't come up with any answers. I have had my Alpine MP3 player/changer for a while now; though, I've only made one MP3 CD with no more than 55 songs for lack of time or effort. I recently made a CD with a total of 99 songs (thinking that anything over 100 may confuse the head unit). Having read through the search I now know that the head unit will start over at track "01" for 100...well I kinda get the idea at least.
After inserting my newly made 99 track CD, the changer took the usual 5-10 seconds to read the file and start playing. Though, for the life of me, I can't understand why the head unit (or really the changer) reads the files in a totally different order than what I made on the CD. Whats worse is that the head unit (sigh, or is it the changer) will only play 35 songs. This makes no sense to me since I made another CD with 55 songs in the exact same manner as the CD with 99 songs. I simply selected the song files I wanted on my windows XP PC, dumped them into the recordable CD drive directory (in a certian order) and copied them to the CD.
All the songs play just fine on the PC BTW. I just can't seem to get them all to play on the Alpine. I'm really frustrated here. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for the help guys. Funny, has anyone else had as much drama with the Alpine CD changer as me?
