"Audio format unknown" with MP3 files.

Hey guys,
I finally got a 16GB compact flash card and a transcend CF adapter,loaded about 2GB of songs on it,tried it out the first time it worked fine.But ever since i get this message "Audio format unknown" whenever i try to play the songs.i am sure all the songs are in Mp3 format and it worked perfectly the first time.Please any ideas? Thanks.

Hmmmm. Only seen that when I first got my car and was seeing what audio formats it could play. I was testing ogg and wmv. Was only able to play .mp3, but I've haven't seen that message yet.

Once in a while I do get a message that is something like "No readable files" and I have to eject my SDHC card and re-insert it in to my PCMCIA adapter.

Triple check that you only have .mp3 files on the card and none of the Mac or Windows droppings in there.

Besides mp3 file format, what other audio format can the audio system decode?
I tried wave and flac and both are not supported..

I know on my cell phone if you put a song that has too long of a file name it corrupts the SD card and it doesn't read properly. I would suggest trying to not use excessive characters when naming the files.
