I got a sony walkman and a sony boombox that plays mp3 cds. While the walkman
will play every format that I've tried. I have noticed that the boombox will
only work with the joliet extension burned on a cdr. I've tried rocky ridge and
other formats and non of them worked. I also tried using cd-rw's and they didn't
work either.

I don't know about other players but that's what I found to work for me. Now
if only I could figure out how to get either of the players to honor the m3u
files!! :-(

: Anyway, I suggest that you try to burn one CD with only Joliet

: making it work with the Joliet extension and even devoted time to

: shouldn't!).

: Yeah, a volume label shouldn't be necessary, and the player should

: not to gracefully ignore the RR (and Joliet?) extension.

: Definitely Not. If it's strict, then it should *ignore* the
: extensions, instead of refusing to work with discs bearing such
: extensions. Ignoring the extensions means falling back to seeing 8.3
: file names, at most 5 levels of directories, etc.
