Replying to: cyberella (May 24, 2009 8:06 am) Might also try burning at a slower speed (default is max of your burner). My discs were made on an XP laptop. If you have a DVD player at home, you might want to try the mp3 disc there too, many of them are able to play these as well. You can use it as another confirmation that the disc is not a coaster.   I also found that CD text works when you make a regular audio (non-mp3/wma) CD in Nero. (I still need a few of those for DW's van.) The track name shows up on the S40's display, just like when you play an mp3/wma disc.   -Brian Replies to this message: cyberella (May 24, 2009 8:45 am) subearu (May 24, 2009 9:36 am)

Replying to: cyberella (May 24, 2009 8:06 am) Okay, I tried all that. Nothin'. 'Disc Unreadable'. My CD burner runs at 48x speed.. my CDs say 52x. They work everywhere else. I guess this means a call to Volvo.   I'm computer savvy, but apparently not Volvo savvy.

Replying to: subearu (May 24, 2009 8:34 am) I just tried a disc burned at 24x. Still unreadable. I am now officially confused and wishing I had my old F150 back.   What speed should I try? 8x?   I know it will play copied CDs but I'm wondering if the manuals are stock and the player the car has is damaged. The other weird thing is that it doesn't update the FM song titles... at all.. If I unselect the text option, then the info in the big letters on top are current.   I prefer CD over FM any given day... provided I can make them work. =) Replies to this message: subearu (May 24, 2009 9:36 am)

Replying to: cyberella (May 24, 2009 8:45 am) Sure, it is possible there is an issue with the CD player. Make sure you are closing the session on the disc as well in your burning software.   Not all FM stations do song titles. At least in my area.   My T5 also has the Sirius option, which I listen to 95% of the time.   -Brian
