I have a 6 disc changer/MP3 from a 2005 F-150. I bought it off Ebay. I burn WMA using Windows Media Player and it plays them just fine.

my guess is he is actually just creating a standard audio CD with 60/74 minutes of music

The burn function in Windows MP makes an audio CD, not a MP3 / WMA cd.

That is what I thought was the case.

This must be the confusion. I guess I should have made the question clearer. What I meant was does it play the WMA files you have to burn using the data format, not the standard audio format that Windows Media Player burns with by default.

The SMB connector on the Sirius Factory rcvr had the square shroud around it, with the clip tab, to hold it into the factory rcvr.

The Starmate when I had it installed in the truck, the SMB connector did not have the clip tab cover on it, just the SMB connector on the end of the cable.

Also the Sirius Factory rcvr I got from the Visteon dist, did not have a strain relief end on the antenna wire, so if you have a PnP unit, and move it into the house, you would need to be careful not to mess up the end of the cable, plugging and un plugging it.
I have a Kenwood hideaway tuner that plugs into my Kenwood KVT915DVD and it was the same exact plug as on the magnetic Terk antenna I was using in my old truck. It was square, but went onto the round male end on the tuner with a compression button to remove it. I think they stick to a universal size and shape now because most manufacturers offer Sirius standard.

Another misunderstanding. The above quote explains what I was referring to in my previous post.

I usually make a direct copy with Nero software. Sometimes I will load to WMP, and make edited copies (compilations).
