MP3 - 150 Songs - Comand Player Goes To 99th Song Then Back To 1

I put an MP3 Disc in my Command unit. This particular CD, has well above 150 songs. When I got to song 99, the command unit went back to song 1. Is there anyway to go to the remaining songs, or should I always make my MP3's 99 Songs or less? I think the computer hasn't been programed for 3 digit CD's. Thoughts, fixes, cures all welcomed.

Burn your disc with folders, instead of a 100+ song play list.

BTW: The Euro COMAND in my car can handle a play list of over 800 songs, burnt to DVD, but it takes a while for the list to load.

+1 I've read over 200 songs with my Euro COMMAND system and no folders. This maybe related to US-spec systems only

my 05 will play more than 99 songs if they are divided into folders. the CD changer will only play CD not MP3s. I dont know on the 07 or later but this was the deal for a long time.

mine plays MP3s from the CD changer but not more than 99. the one above the LCD will play more if you make them in folders.

what i know is that

2005+ play MP3s from CD changer. at least here in Middle East, because we have the same command as the Euro. don't know about US Spec's.

When you put the MP3s in folders, can you see the folders?

ok, here is some more info. if you have an 05 it may or maynot work based on how up todate your software is. I just updated mine from 12/04 to 8/06, happy to send the file to anyone. now my CD changer will play mp3 , I have not checked out the 99 song limit but others have mentioned it as well. I did use folders on the top CD player and this went well , and can change thru the folders.
