my mates just fitted a jvc head unit, but is having problems with it reading the mp3's off the cd

one cd he burnt 116 tracks onto but only 58 (exactly half) show when its on the car, but when you put in back in the pc it shows all 116?

and exactly the same with another disc, he put 176 tracks on it, and only 88 show on the head unit??

is there a maximum number or track allowed on mp3 discs? its just strange how it only shows half of them???

any help would be appreciated

Hi,
Not that I know to. Are the files all in the "root" of the cd or in seperate directories?
Do the JVC intructions specify the type of format for discs and files?
Cheers,

I have JVC head units and had a similar problem until I did a very un manly thing and read the instructions!!!

There is a limit to the number of folder layers and the number of folders on a layer. I also believe that there is a 100 file limit too but I'd have to go back and check.

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

Must admit had no probs with Pioneer. I use Nero to burn, not sure if it makes a difference.
