IMO it's a rcd500 but it won't play mp3 cds as there is no mp3 logo visible on the front of the unit.

i`ve got the single disc mp3 in my ed30 but she wants a multi changer, so i couldn`t resist for £62, i`ll pay through paypal and if it`s not i`ll put a claim in

i want to get rid of my rcd500 mp3, its ok but only plays certain format mps.. most of the time it stalls after like the first 10tracks when i use nero and roxio burner..

Ive tried other burners but still the same, cleaned the laser with 2dif types of lense cleaners but still no help  :huh:

Really? What discs you using? Interested because I've thought about changing my RCD500 non-mp3 for an mp3 one.

I normally stick with verbatim - highly reliable. Recently ran out and desperately needed some for some new albums and ended up buying memorex ones from asda. I stay away from Roxio. Nero is supposed to be good. Do you verify a track after burning? Have you tried CD-Rs or CD-RWs?

i use sony 80min cd-rs and burn it as a data disc.. its works kinda better than if i select the burn mp3 disc option (this is on nero) but either way it dont read the tracks properly.

i think its a malfunction inside, because the cd spins and stops making a werid noise lol. i think ill stick it on ebay and just buy the normal cd player back

^^^^^ sony discs are a bit dodgy mate from my experence always had probs with compatability of certain players reading sony discs weather it be dvd-r or cd-r  etc, try a normal blank printable cdr (with no writing on it) failing that your right in thinkig its knackered.
