Question USA COMAND Main Audio Screen, CD or MP3?

When you pull up the Main Audio Screen in your USA COMAND unit, does it read CD or MP3 (see link)?

I have a US COMAND system and this is what it does:

If I have a self-made MP3 CD ROM (I don't have a DVD drive in the single slot), then the CD choice becomes a MP3 choice on the soft button. If I have a regular music CD in the single slot, then it goes back to what your picture you showed (CD).

My CDC is not a MP3 reading unit, but I do plan to have the system upgraded (along with a laundry list) by Steve. I do not know what it will say if you had all MP3 CD ROMs in the changer. For that matter, I wonder what the system will do if you had some music CDs and some MP3 CDs in the changer. I would imagine that the main menu will still say CD or MP3 on the one soft button and then still say CDC on the other regardless, but I will eventually find out.

I hope this has answered your question since I did not think that the other replies on the other thread did.

Steve

Steve that’s the answer I was looking for as I have not actually had the time to format MP3 CDs to check it out. MP3 playback has been discussed to death however I do not recall anyone posting actual screen recognition details. So my assumption was right. Thanks.
