I have a 2007 997 with CD changer.

I can play audio CD (including some I burned with ROXIO or Microsoft Media Player) in the CD changer, but I have been unable to play any data CDs with many MP3 files. I want to record about 50/70 songs in a (data) CD, rather than the usual 12 songs you can burn in an audio CD.

I am fairly computer literate and I can use most CD recording software. I have attempted various recordings of data CD, recording with Disc at Once, track at once, I finalize the CD , used different mode and file system, to no avail. The CD charger does not recognize the CD at all. The single CD player not only does not recognize the CD but also refuses to eject it, as if it doesn't exists (I got it out anyway with a hard reset).

The various software versions are as follows:

SW version 4.0

CDC C38/3003

AMP 00017600/3105

SYSTEM 05462AD1/4605

PCM 05395BD1/4505

I assume that the software versions are pretty much up to date, but I appreciate if somebody thinks the problem is the software version I have

Can somebody share the specific CD recording options they have used to burn a CD containing a large number of MP3 files?

A MY2007 997 PCM should play MP3's with no issues. Did you buy the car new? If not, the PCM may have been previously replaced with a "Model Level A" version which noes not play MP3's. 997's built after mid-April 2005 have a "Model Level B" PCM which does play MP3's. Porsche workshop campaign W610 resolved this issue with 2005 and 2006 997's with "Model Level B" PCM that may have had an issue playing MP3's.

I answered this on Rennlist.com for you.
