Just wanted to follow up here in case someone is having a similar issue... I did end up getting my files to work. I downloaded some simple tag editing software (sorry I am at work now and I can't remember what it is called). IF I remember correctly, it allowed me to edit and/or delete tags...

Well, that may be true. But some of the files that I can't play are files I *know* are 160kbps that I ripped myself. Plus, even if I was having problems with VBR files, why are they suddenly working when I remove all tags?

I'm having issues with playing my mp3 files off of a usb flash (thumb) drive on my Pioneer DEH-p600ub car stereo. The primary flash drive I am attempting to use is a Kingston 8GB Data Traveler (DHDT1008GB). The problem appears to be related to file tagging. What would happen is that some...

yea, I've tried my best to determine specifically what causes the probelm, but I cant figure out a sure-fire situation when it ALWAYS happens. I just know that I am hearing the same songs WAY more often than I should be. ARRRRGH!

Has anyone had issues with the Pioneer 8400mp random not really working. I have several mp3 disks I have created with 100+ songs on them. I seem to be getting the same songs selected WAY more often than I should. It MAY be related to me overriding the song it selects. for example, say I have...

Forgive the ignorance....I dont know what SQ is. Yes, I know 128 is low. However, I was just experimenting with how much I could cram on the disk, then compare sound qualities, which led to my scare that the 8400 wasnt reading the tags correctly. Turned out the resampling was causing the...

Thanks for the comments. After about another hour of trying things I figured out what was wrong. It seems that if you "resample" your mp3s in musicmatch before burning the CD, for some reason the 8400 has trouble getting the tag info. I have most of my music on my PC at 160 or 192 kbps, but I...

Just got a 8400mp installed last week. I cant seem to burn a disk with Musicmatch that allows the pioneer to display the tag infomation. I just get "No Aritst Name". the musicmatch I have is 7.0 I beleive...just bought it 6 months ago. Now, I have an older disk that I burned a month ago that...

Are you sure? The 500s is a two-channel amp. Doesn't that mean that the bass will be stereo if I hook up one sub per channel? As it is, I'm going to have my installer open up the sub box again and wire the sub to 8 ohms, leaving the amp bridged. At some point, I may add another 8 ohm He-2...

AHHH...I see. I didn't understand why bridging the amp required a higher resistance until this explanation. So....this may be a dumb question...if I had two subs, one on each channel, I would actually be getting "stereo" bass? I just assumed that the bass was always mono. Sort of like having...

Can someone please help me with this who is more knowledgeable than me about such things? I am brand-new to the amp/sub thing in my car. On the advice of a friend and my own research I purchased a Rockford-Fosgate Power 500s 2-channel amp, and one RFP3210 10" He-2 dual-coil sub (each coil 4...
