997 and ipod
#32
The 2006 and later 997s have the 2nd gen PCM unit that plays MP3s in the single CD slot. When you burn the CDs, you just burn them as data CDs with all the files in the root directory or you can create separate folders and then the PCM screen will give you the option of displaying folders or track names.
