Welcome to our world...

THe only one that allows you to select folders is the single cd on top. The changer, will play the mp3's, but not allow you to have folder access. I have a 2005 that does the exact same thing. Unfortunately, you'll have to live with it. If you listen to 6 genre's of music - you could have each disc named for the genre, and music within each disk. Doesn't help for artists though, i'm sure you listen to more than 6 artists...

The MP3 CD Changer will only play up to 99 tracks on a CD, and wont recognize folders or playlists. That is the limitation of the CD Changer.

Do the 6-disc changers in 2003 W211s play MP3s or do I have to get an upgraded version of the changer?
