Does CD player play mp3

Hi
Great forum and great to be a part of it. I recently purchased my first 2002 freelander which I love, only trouble is it has a cassette player..I want to buy the original CD player for it but was wandering if anyone knows if they play mp3s as my music is mp3s that I have put on a CD? Any advice appreciated.

This is a good question. I’ve been meaning to try it myself as mine has the 6-CD player and I don’t want to ruin the looks with an after-market unit just so I can connect my phone.

The manual does say that anything other than commercially produced CDs may not work.

I’ll try and find a blank CD and give it a go today and report back.

No. The factory CD multi-changer play's CD audio only. MP3s weren't a well known format back when the FL1 was designed.
For a 2002 FL1, it's easy to install an aftermarket HU than does play all you need.

If you want to keep the original stereo you can get cassette with aux adaptors. So you play music off your phone or MP3 player. Our son has one. They even have a Wiki page!

You may find using sofware, like nero or power dvd to make a music cd, rather than a data cd, will work; it does for me.

Can you even still buy writable CDs these days?

Yes.
