When I insert a CD into my console, it rips the tracks to the HDD. But unlike my previous TL, this rdx rips it alpha and NOT by the album. I have spent hours looking to how to change the preference so it rips CDs by album, and NOT by alpha. Ya know I am an 80's kinda guy and when i feel like Fleetwood mac, i want the entire album playing and NOT have to hunt for the songs. Is there a way to get me what i want??

 

It may be a bit awkward but here's a solution you may try. Cluster your songs by album and add a alpha-number in the beginning of each song. Then burn them on the CD. Something like this for example:

A1_She_Loves_me.mp3
A2_No_She_Doesn't.mp3
...
B1_He_is_my_hero.mp3
B2_No_he_is_coward.mps
...

This way all songs of Albums A and B etc are sorted together and can be played in sequence. You can also save them on a flash USB and they will play same way.

 

I don't think that a CD you burn yourself will be ripped to the hard drive in the Acura. I went so far as to burn tracks in cdda format, but could not get the Acura system to rip the songs to the built-in hard drive. I do want to try this again, and I would love to learn if you (or anyone) has successfully done this. It's entirely possible there's something simple that I did wrong.

I did do just this (adding numbering to the titles to get songs played in the order *I* wanted) with USB thumb drives, and it works. Those songs are also not ripped to the built-in hard drive.

You should not burn the CD with cdda format. Just copy and burn the mp3 files on CD and the player starts reading and plating in the order they are saved.

 

Hmm. That was not my experience; I only tried burning them the way a commercial CD is formatted (you're only gonna get 10-12 songs per CD) when it didn't work with MP3's. That said, will try again.

Thanks.

If I was going to use the HDD on the RDX, it would just be to create a massive shuffle playlist. If I want songs by album, I'd put them on a USB.

 

You can just search by Album and play each album there.
