Will the CD player play MP3 discs?

Hi folks, I often listen to audio books on CD in MP3 format as I drive (heh, I said I am a geezer!) - does anyone know if the FR-S CD player can play MP3 discs? (My current Lexus will, but my wife's Sienna will not.)

Thanks - I am awaiting delivery of a Firestorm A/T.

From page 64 of the Owner's manual stock Pioneer head unit:

Hope that helps.

You could also put a bunch of your books on a USB thumb drive and plug it into the jack below the head unit.
