One thing to check is that you are closing the disc after the write. Don't leave the session open. Although the player can read discs that are open, it is always better to finalize the disc. Make sure the disc mounts in another player like your DVD etc and then take it to the dealer. My 06 plays MP3's perfectly. Except for the long load time and inability to scroll songs while in motion (what do you call 10,00 dead lawyers... oh forget it) MP3 work very well. One strange programming issue you will see when they fix this is if you have a mix of MP3 and CD (WAV) loaded, the player will skip the MP3 discs in favor of the next CD if you are at the end of a CD. So disc 1 is CD, disc 2 is MP3 and disc 3 is CD, when disc 1 ends it skips number 2 and starts playing disc 3. Go figure.
