An mp3/cd player question...

[thirtythree]

I purchased an iRiver IMP-350 a couple days ago and have had problems with it stopping for a few seconds in the middle of songs. I don't know whether it's a problem with the player or the cd .. is there anything special I need to do when I burn the mp3s to a cd?

Bump before I go home ..

Have you updated to the latest firmware?

Didn't know I could do that. I'll give it a try.

You just need to burn it on a CDR, put the CDR in the player, start it, and it will do the rest automatically. I would suggest using AC power while flashing just to be safe..

Thanks. I already had version 2.20 installed though. I'm going to try burning a cd at 8x and see if it works better.

Might be the type of CDR too. I use some Verbatims and burn @ 48X with no problems.

i have heard from some customer review that it will do that if it can't read the cd properly. so try better cdrs

i have the same player and i never had ap roblem

but then i use really high quality cdrs that cost a buck a piece (around 70 usd cents)

Some of them are picky about bit rates, and VBR can cause problems. Others won't read Joilet, and some just don't like certain CDR's. Try a different encoder if you still have problems.

I've never had a problem with my IRiver doing that.
