The CDR 220 is not an MP3 player and so will NOT play MP3 files directly - it lacks the ability to convert MP3 files into an audio signal.

You can hook an MP3 player up to it using several methods/hardware, but it is the MP3 player (Ipod, Zune, etc.), not the radio, which does the file conversion and sends the audio signal to the amplifier/hu/speakers.

The CDR 220 will play CDs burned in the 'music' format, but as mentioned, these are less 'compressed' and so fewer tracks can be burned on a single CD.
