It's a mystery to me
Hi All,
I am looking for an answer for a problem created by me. I decided to download some Podcasts on to read/write cds to use in my F10. I started with CD-RW discs and everything was fine, but because there were several discs I decided to use a DVD-RW and that is when the trouble started. OK to clarify:- I downloaded UPD05062 to the car with no problems There are folders created on the discs exactly the same I used CDBurnerXP to burn the discs Of course the laptop will play either disc Now the CD-RW play fine but the DVD-RW is not read by the disc player in the car. To labour the point the DVD-RW is taken in by the player but reports "No disc" and then can be ejected in the normal way. OK it is not a show stopper as I will use CD-RW discs but it bugs me. Any ideas will be welcome. John |

A far easier way to do this is to pop all your files onto a USB thumb drive and plug into the USB socket in the centre console.
This means you can easily add or delete files, and saves you mucking about burning DVD/CD-RWs, which I didn't think anyone did anymore.... Had my 5 for over a year and an optical disc has never been in the drive since I've had it. |

Have you closed the disc when burning it?
I have a 64Gb mini USB stick or I use Spotify - much easier.

Thanks Guys for the replies I new the Forum would have the answer.
Why I was trying to use "Old Technology" I cannot think when I have a 32Gb Flash drive. So I have tried many folders containing many mp3 files and the car will search without a problem the drive. Thanks again, John |

Or...
What I do is even less effort. Install this on to your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ketcasts&hl=en https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/pock...414834813?mt=8 And it downloads the podcast channels you subscribe to overnight. Then in the car just play the audio off the phone via Bluetooth. When you have listened to a podcast, it auto-deletes. |
