Replying to: johnny__rf (Mar 27, 2007 4:13 am) Lack of iPod support is unfortunate, but it's reality.   Your plan for putting MP3 onto disks is a good workaround. I do that as well.   Just one word of caution. Most MP3 software has the ability to record music into subdirectories, several layers deep, as means of organizing music, just like you do on your computer. Unfortunately,the head unit (for those with the Tech Package/Navigation) takes a very long time to read the directory structure on the disk and commence playback.   Recommend that you record your music at the root level (not in subdirectories). That way, it takes a minimal amount time for the player to spool up your music.   Vince.

#126 of 169 IPod workarounds by nmk Mar 27, 2007 (6:17 am)
If you check some other Mazda CX-7 forums (I don't know if I can mention "mcx-7 or mazda247" as two forums that may help) you will see that are work'arounds for the IPods and for the MP3 players.   Good luck.

Replying to: vbbuilt (Mar 27, 2007 5:57 am) Is there any media information generaly on the MP3 files when they are created by others so that I can simply copy them from the operting system or is it better to use media player or some other software to insure there is artist/song info on the tracks?

Replying to: defreitasm (Mar 28, 2007 8:39 am) I ripped all my CD's on my PC over the past few years using MusicMatch. Yesterday I created a data disk (not an audio disk) using a 3 year old version of Sonic (not sure the app name). My mp3 data disk has all the track information you would want (artist, album ,etc) and is displayed on the Nav display of the cx7.   So I think any application that creates data disks would work for you. the info is retained in the mp3 files
#131 of 169 6 Disk Changer by anxs Mar 31, 2007 (2:25 pm)
I'm almost embarrassed to ask this question but I've never owned a vehicle that didn't have a stop play button on the CD player. Am I missing it, or does it just not have one? Replies to this message: carlitos92 (Mar 31, 2007 3:43 pm)

Replying to: anxs (Mar 31, 2007 2:25 pm) You're not going crazy... It's not there. I just turn the power off in my non-nav system; it achieves the same result. Another way would be to switch to radio and hit mute... but I think in either case, you can't do it using only the steering wheel controls.   -c92

Thank you Carlitos. I've been doing the same thing by hitting the power button it just seems a little odd.
#134 of 169 CD-RW format by johnny__rf Apr 02, 2007 (12:03 pm)
Pleased to report that CD-RW format works in the disk changer. I am finding funny behavior regarding the use of the random key, however. When I am playing in Random mode and I use the advance key to skip a song, it does not advance randomly. It advances to the next song in order.   I also tried 2 disks, 1 using folders and 1 not with folders and the Random player does not appear to want to jump folders. Anybody else observe the same thing? Plus there is no indicator when the player is playing in Random mode???
