Default 2010 RX-Playing MP3 Music

I posted this on the LS thread with no replies but am hopeful that you 2010 RX folks have a similar set up and can answer this:

Ok, after almost 2 years of ownership, I found out that my LS460 (with NAV but not ML) will play home burned CD-Rs with MP3 files. That's the good news. The bad news is that while the screen indicates the ability to recognize multiple folders, mine only seems to recognize 1 folder even if more than 1 are on a disc. And even if I put more than 20 songs in 1 folder, it only reads the 20 songs.

Any operational "how to do this" info would be appreciate

on touch screen there are two buttons for changing folders : up and down (in lower right corner of screen when audio mode selected while mp3 cd is on)

if u're having problems burning CD's with mp3 music inside that would Lexus read, try doing everything more simple. U don't have to write any special MP3 cd. U just grab music files or folders u want and just burn it as data.

If this is NOT your problem u are talking about, then I don't understand your problem...

Turns out the problem is that some of my files are MPEG4. When I limit the discs to MP3 it works great as expected. Now I need to figure out how to convert MPEG4 to MP3.

I'm sure there's an easier way, but if you burn them all as Audio file (AIFF) first on a CD then import them into iTunes as MP3.. then burn again as MP3 CD.. I know I know, but this is the only way I know... I'm all ears too.
