Try not to use to many nested folders as well.   Mark.

Pete07. Hey bought my wife an 07 XLT as well. Same issue. Which CD Brand is working for you? CD-Rs or CD+Rs? Which program are you using, just the Windows?    We've tried the slower burning rate before, but that's done nothing.   Thanks, --Stephen Replies to this message: pete07 (Feb 27, 2007 9:57 am) falcon1970 (Feb 27, 2007 10:10 am)

Replying to: falcon1970 (Feb 27, 2007 9:11 am) Hey falcon, The software I'm using is Acoustica MP3 cd burner and can be found here link title. I found this program very straight forward and easy to use. I'm using Maxell CD-R music 80 minute 700 mb media for my recordings. As far as the setup. I set the software up to test all the selected music prior to burning the cd. I burnt it at 18x but the actual burn speed was around 13.5x. I've burnt 4 cd's like this and haven't had a problem since. Each cd was burnt with folders for each album with no sub-folder. Also in the radio setup go to the menu button after the cd is in and read, and set it to folder. You will be able to scan through your folders and the folder names will appear on the radio screen. Hope this helps. You can download a trial version of the cd burner at the above website. It works very similar but I think better than Windows media player. It will search your machine for all music when it's installed. Let me know if this helps at all. Lastly, I have a pretty fast computer but with the aforementioned setup in the software. The whole burning process took about 40 minutes after the songs were setup for the cd. Pete We be Jammin Replies to this message: falcon1970 (Feb 27, 2007 10:10 am)

Replying to: pete07 (Feb 27, 2007 9:57 am) Thanks a lot man. We will try that tonight. One last question...before this turns into a "how to burn session".   In your process are you burning from "Album (.cda) to MP3s" or are you taking already ripped MP3s and burning those to the CDs? I'll try both in case, but curious...

Ripping from original cd with acoustica and burning mp3

Possible we got a dud. Going to force the dealer to have someone inspect it and prove it one way or the other. The first "Bad Disk" my wife burned was a "Bad Disk" in my 2005 ZX4 focus (bought same day as our 07 escape...). Tonight we tried a few techniques that Pete mentioned. One disk with folders, one without. 16x speed burn, on a different software. Both work great in my Focus...not at all in the Escape.   We're now trying the "Acoustica." If it works I'll post again and eat crow. If I don't post....then I'm going postal I'm sure.   Thanks Again
#10 of 13 Eating Crow.... by falcon1970 Feb 27, 2007 (5:45 pm)
....yep....a big huge helping of Humble Crow Pie.   Acoustica is a Godsend. Single Tracks, Folders, our Escape, or our Focus. Works like a charm. My guess it's in the natural rates of the burn and some other things.   either way....very grateful Pete07. Thanks! --Stephen

Good deal, Glad I could help you out. I went through the same thing....almost exactly. My daughter has a 07 Explorer. I was trying mine in both systems. Don't know exactly why MS-MP recording's wouldn't work. I thought, I had a bad player also. Have fun, Pete

i have a 2007 ford escape xlt with the audiophile package, and i was wandering if there is an aux port somewhere, that maybe i could plug an ipod/mp3 player into. Replies to this message: vg33e power (Jun 22, 2009 11:20 am)

Replying to: cadet99steve (Jun 16, 2009 5:26 pm) Nope...I tried doing this about a year ago. Only FM modulators which are crap. Ended up pulling out stock head unit and replaced it with a Pionner headunit that had iPod connectivity.
