[QUOTE="pannayar, post: 5189637, member: 558350"] Bought a sony cdx-gt620ip. I am not a ipod guy but regular mp3/wma CDs. There are quite a few good things about this unit, but holy crap I just discovered that it has a limitation of around 300 (file + folder names, including all intermediate folders that may not have any songs - like artist/thisfolder/song). I used to get about 300 songs at 64 kbps WMA (which is still ok for car environment) on a regular CD and my older alpine used to deal with it like a charm... but now only 150 of them are read in by the sony, sometimes it really gets on the nerves when great companies design some stupid limitations like this. It is annoying when the CD has the capacity to hold that many songs, but the player cannot, handle, May have to resort to putting all files in a folder or something like that. Moreover the manual says the number 300 will be reduced if you have file/folder names that are longer. Why in the world cant they have a bigger buffer inside to hold more file/folder names?! Sony, at some places you really ****. Had to vent it out! [/QUOTE]
