Will a CDX 2000 reg CD player play mp3s ?
« on: 14 October 2008, 12:12:49 »
I am buying some audio books for a trip down to south of france in a few weeks, some of the cds are in mp3 format, just wondered if they would play on the standard CDX cd player ( front loading 4 multi disk )

Nope.  Best bet use cassette slot - jack plug adaptor, transfer mp3s to a player and play through headphone output.  Not perfect but it works.

Yep,

No standard headunit fitted to ANY Omega will ever play MP3's

Some will play CD-RW's but never MP3s

They may play CD's made using MP3's (but in audio mode)
They wont, or if they do it will be a first, play native mp3's

iirc None of the old vauxhalls like cdr's though, and using them will likely shorten the unit's life.

I bought one of those adapter thingys that you can plug your Ipod into and play through your radio (£10ish), works very well  :y
