JBL - burn mp3 disc at once - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

If you need to make & burn a MP3 disc for your JBL system, you better burn everything at the one time to make a full disc. I found the JBL will not read whatever you add & burn after the first one. I tried to add & burn more MP3 songs into a half full disc, and the JBL does not read all of them. Do you experience the same thing?

Yep burn all at once.

Is that the same with CD-R and CDRW?

well if ur trying to reburn a cd-r it wont work. usually if u burn on a cd-rw the programs such as nero will erase previous songs and have u burn all over again (well for me anyways) soo unless the program u use to burn songs allows u to add tracks on the burned cd's it wont work.

Guys, try this:

Instead of burning CD's using programs such as Nero, why don't you just select the music files, and then send it directly to the CD-R/RW (right click, send to CD Drive).

That way you can add / erase the CD (CD-RW only), I do that everytime.

i've burned on rewritables before and it worked perfectly on my camry, using nero and no brand blanks

i have JBL on my 03 SE, and my Cd changer hates burned Cds...it will sometimes read the discs, but other times itll encounter an "error" and you have to put the cd in again after it spits it out...other times itll encounter errors with certrain tracks, or skip around songs...all told my cd player hates burned cds....
and im just burning my music to regular cd RWs...HP brand ones

Dude, CD-R's are what? A penny?? Two cents??

CD-RW's indeed can be tough for some players to play, but usually most anything these days can handle properly-closed CD-R's just fine.

Even if you change things often, it'd still take quite a bit of work to waste a whole buck's worth of CD-R's....

GT-R · 02-28-2008, 12:18 AM

Just make sure the file format is MP3.

CD-R is so cheap. If I burn a disc I don't like some songs inside, I just throw it away, and burn another one. Never borther to erase and burn it again using CD-RW because that will waste your time which is more valueable than a CD-R.

While I can't speak for the Gen5 systems, I've had absolutely no problems at all playing WMA files in my Gen6 system. I play WMA and MP3 in any combination, no problems at all....

My point is you can burn mp3 or WMA in a CD-R. Just make sure you burn a full disc at the same time. If you burn a half full disc and want to add more songs to it later, it will not work.

RedruM7 · 09-16-2008, 07:01 AM

Wow, this is such a lame feature... I was hoping I was overlooking something because I would have stuck with this stock unit for a while, but the fact that you cant write half a disc and fill it with newer songs later on is a deal breaker for me as well as a horrible design/cost cutting decision.

I had a DVD/USB JVC deck on my 3000gt, and let me tell you not having usb anymore is a horrible feeling, also when I dont use the usb I have a dvd full of mp3s (CD mp3s x12 on a single layer) to fall back on. With USB it was so easy to load up that one song or two you just downloaded and want to hear on your trip to work or whatever, plus at work I would also load the same music from my usb thumbdrive to my work pc...

Guess I'll be shopping for another deck... I suppose I could just swap with my 3000gt actually... Anyone need a stock Camry 07 deck??

This is correct but it has nothing to do with the JBL audio system in your car. It has everything to do with how you write the disc. What you are doing is creating a single session disc which includes a session lead-out, this allows a reader (your JBL) to recognize the session and read the disc. What you want to do is create a multisession disc which will also include a lead-in after the lead-out, this will allow you to add data incrementally.

Google "multisession cd" and you'll get a ton of info on how to create one.
