MP3 files start skipping/popping after few minutes of playback

So my Sony CDX-MP40 head unit has worked great for about 2 years, but all of a sudden i am having playback problems with MP3 files on it. If I burn a regular old standard audio CD, it will work great. But if I burn a CD full of MP3s the song start skipping, as if the disc were scratched, after a few minutes of playback. The problems happens every single time. I have tried: 1) Using different brand CDs 2) Buring different files to the CD 3) Buring the CDs at different speed on my PC 4) Burning them on different computers I am very frustrated by this. I would love to copy 6 or albums to one CD and just let it play through. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks.

Sony say in the manual that if you record high bit-rate mp3's the sound may be intermittent. I feel this is due to the decoder having to move ALOT of bits around to play, try some makeing a disk with mixed rate mp3's on. e.g.) some 64Kbps, some 128, some 192, and some as high as you can get and see if there is any differ Luck

How do I connect an external MP3 player, such as an iPod, to my head unit?

you would need to purchase an aftermarket devise to send an rf signal to the fm tuner- there are also fm modulators the have a direct connection to to antenna plug on the rear or the radio- your radio does not have any jack for a direct connection or controls for it to operate an ipod or mp3

Linking an i pod to a Sony CDX-MP40 using the bus input terminal

Some Sony head units let you use the Bus audio inputs as an auxiliary source input, but yours is not among them. To play your iPod through the head unit, you'll either need an iPod interface module: http://www.xplodsony.com/xplod/accessories/XA-110IP or an auxiliary input module: http://www.xplodsony.com/xplod/accessories/XA-300 The iPod interface will allow you to control and display the iPod directly through the head unit, while an auxiliary input adapter will allow the iPod to play through the head unit using the iPod's controls and display.

Cdx-mp40

You are correct, the unit powers entirely from the red and yellow leads. Your symptoms sound like a unit that isn't getting power on the red (switched) lead. The most likely cause is a blown fuse in your vehicle's fuse box.
