Is it true?

That BMW CD changer does not randomly mix songs from different CD's?

I went to my dealer and the technician told me that the changer only mixes (shuffles) song within a single CD not all six CD's.... I really find that hard to believe!

I think it's true.

never heard of a cd changer that shuffles songs from multiple CDs...

No, it doesn't shuffle from multiple CDs.

But I don't find that a problem. I create DVDs with hundreds of tracks on each and play those in my DVD changer. I'm not even using all six DVD slots yet....

Sounds like a good idea, I may try it!

I had Pioneer CD changers in two vehicles, and they both shuffled within a disk, or across all disks.

You must have had the Canadian version, Canadians can mix up a lot of stuff from all over the place

Excellent!

Both vehicles were in Chile, a US built Expedition, and a Japanese-built Subaru Legacy. It was pretty mixed up there too.

but wouldn't there be quite a pause between songs if you were to do that? why would anyone want that? (the CD has to be taken out of the drive and then another CD has to be inserted in order to play a different song from another CD, no?)

There were 6 CDs in a holder in each CD changer. It wasn't an instant switch providing continuous music, but it was not a significant wait, it was measured in seconds.
