MP3/ Cd Stereo

Hello All
I just picked up my new 05 Ranger.
It came with a Cd/Mp3 stereo how ever I can't seem to get it to play mp3's.
Does anyone know if there is a format that I need to use?
Also I am planning to turn my old 96 2.3l into a rally truck and race in the canadian sereies.
any help on 2.3l performance or suspention would be welcome.
Thanks
JD

Make sure that the MP3's you are feeding it are not copyrighted/protected.

For the best performance out of your 2.3L, swap it out for a 2.3L Turbo from a T-Bird Coupe. It's much easier than trying to add a turbo.

Try making folders and put the MP3's into the folders.

I bought one of the first MP3 head units and it was picky like that.

do that, and make sure you dont mix formats. some decks will reject a cd or only play one type of format if u mix say, wma and mp3. i make mp3 cds on a regular basis. just load your other cds into your computer as mp3, or buy another program to convert songs to an mp3 format, then i use jukebox with the settings for mp3 to place songs in folders by album type. then all thats left is to burn it and let it play!
