Steve Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 DAB is digital radio, so it will be FM Most cars that say they can play mp3 means mp3's on a disk. Unless it also has an AUX input, then it will allow mp3 from an ipod and also play mp3 disks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivor bigun Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 you can put 6 disks on one cd but they would have to be mp3's That was MY question MY 2007 Focus ST3 has the 6 Disk Sony but it does not play MP3 MY new Focus ST3 58 reg will have the DAB Sony single disk and MP3 I was asking can I put MP3s on to a CD and can I put 6 CDs on to one MP3 disk so in effect I have the same amount of music in the 1 disk player as my old 6 disk cd player it is an extra £300 to upgrade from the 1 disk to the 6 disk on the DAB sony but if I can have the same amount of music in the 1 disk I do not need the 6disk version after all I only have about 7 cds any way I have looked in a few record shops and they dont seem to sell mp3s yet I can download the archers from BBC radio 4 is that mp3 so I could play it in car if I miss episodes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Yes, you should be able to fit 6 cd worth of mp3's, but some places like tesco online where they sell the mp3's may restrict you from putting them on cd. You can however work out how to convert your old cd's to mp3. I think this is actually legal too as you own a cd of the album. How are you finding the DAB? pretty good sound?

vinnyvangough Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I use mp3's all the time. I put an average of 6 to 10 albums on 1 disc in mp3 file format, save's on so many CD's flying around the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
