I've used the free Music Match Jukebox in the past but have upgraded to the full version because it allows you to burn a 10X versus 1X in the free version.

It's nice to beable to burn your MP3 discs in Folder Format. This allow you to search by folder for an Artist or Album, depending on how you burn them.

I have noticed that the player in the Shaker 1000 is sensitive compared to some players in reading disks. I used Data Disks initially but found that I was getting more read errors when played. I have since burned all of my tunes onto a high quality Music Disk, Memorex 700 MB/80 Minute.

No problems. I use shuffle play most of the time. It's like having your very own Radio Station with no commericials and only the music I like to listern to.

To the Ipod point. If you use the car as a daily driver an Ipod or Dell Jukebox is fiine. However, the shaker 1000 has a 6 disk player and if your music is burned in MP3 format you couldn't listen to all of your recorded music in a round trip coast to coast drive. I have a Dell Juke Box in my 04 F150 Supercrew only because it has a single disk player and it won't read MP3.

Good luck with whatever choice you make. I would recommend Music Match Jukebox's full version. I haven't had any problems with the progam.

I use DB Power Amp (free program) to rip my CDs into MP3 format with all of the ID3 tags:

This also pulls in all of the song/artist/album info for me so I see the info displayed in the stereo. This program allows you to pick your bitrate, etc.

Then to burn my CD-Rs, I use Nero. I have Nero 6 that came free with my DVD burner. I pick CD, MP3 disc, then drag n drop the selected MP3s into the burner. The one thing that I started doing that makes my discs work in my Shaker 500 is to decrease the CD burning speed ... I cut mine in half to either 12x or 16x burning speed. The slower you burn your CD-R and the better quality burner you have, you'll have better luck. Ever since I slowed down my burn speed everything has been working great.
