04 not playing mp3.
I spent the past few days reading about Mp3 capability there seems to be a mix of info.
put all of my music in seperate folders (and no sub-folders) burned using Nero 7.
I set it to burn ISO 9660 only as instruction.
I load this into my single slot CD and nothing.![Frown](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
IS there more to it than just burning a data CD?

Some 04's need to have a software upgrade on the COMAND for it to play MP3s.

I've tried and tried. I even had another user on the forum mail me a good burn. Still nothing. I'm 99% sure you need a software upgrade as replied in the previous post.

You definately need a software upgrade. Just got mine done and picked it up today. Here's what you need to tell them perform:
DTB - 82.60/382
Published 9/20/2004
Mine works great now, although I can't get into the hidden engineering mode anymore.

Dont burn it in ISO format,ISO is used for data I only use ISO when I burn programs and what not. If you are using a burning program they should have an option for Music. I use toast titanium and it has an option for burning MP3 CDs and I assume your software should also.

How much more music can I put on a MP3 CD?

I can play MP3s in my head unit only, after the software update.
I can get about 100-125 songs on a 700MB CD.

Try burning songs on a DVD
Benz-O-Rama: Now that you have the update to your 04 the head unit should be able to read a music dvd as well. There are some folder limitations but I usually put 40-50 full albums in separate folders without any troubles. The only snag that I have encountered is that MP3s with embedded album covers or lyrics do not play reliably.

I was under the impression that 2004 US spec Comand units had CD-ROM drives, not DVD-ROM drives. I know that the replacement 2003 and very early 2004 Comand units were Euro spec and had DVD-ROMs but most of the 2004 are US spec w/ CD-ROM. I'll pop one in and see what happens

Can we get the latest upgrade for the audiogate or does it have to be the DTB- 82.60/382 ? Thanks for any information

Um.....
Not quite sure that you need to do anything to the audio gateway. They just updgraded my Comand using the steps outlined in DTP 62.60/382. Once they did that, I was able to play MP3 in the single slot only. And it gave me a few more options in my nav too. Now I have a soft key named "Coordinates" which wasn't there before. This shows you your realtime Waypoint location. Oh, and I am no longer to get in the Engineering menu anymore.
