I use windows media player with the bit rate set at the normal 128kbps, but I don't have the RCD500, so don't have the issue :smiley:

I use Roxio Easy Media Creator - and just use the data option to copy the MP3 directories across and then close the CD

I usually only use 6 directories (i.e 6 albums) - these then show up as Folders on my RCD300.

Not tried with a DVD yet

Can the cd player play DVD's too??? Surely that would mean I can get 10x more music I am currently getting on my cds

I use Nero to create my CDs.  One folder per album.  Bit rate 192kbps (I use iTunes to rip my albums into mp3s at 192kbps).  I've only got the rcd300 though.

Is your rcd5000 definitely mp3 compatible?
