Hi Guys,

Sorry its a silly 1. I was just wondering if i put a load of albums on a blank dvd would it play?

I recon you will need a dvd drive but i just wanted 2 ask!!

cheers

I can only comment on the cd-equiped type-r gt model (07 facelift at that) but there is standard support for wma and mp3 on cdr.

I've put 99 mp3 tracks on a cdr and it works fine (reason for 99 is that the display on mine supports two digits for track number)

Perhaps someone with satnav could confirm whether there is dvd-r support (I seem to remember the sat nav version uses DVD's - hence the lack of 3rd party speed camera database support you'd expect on HDD flash memory style GPS systems.....)

If you have the 8CD changer, that's 800-ish tracks

Nope it won't play DVD-Rs of any description I'm afraid. So you're stuck with CD-R(W) for MP3s and WMAs

Cheers **,

That more or less answers it 4 me. Ive got an 06ES, and thets about the only toy it dosnt have !!

The DVD player in the EX is only for the sat nav disc.
It will not play music through the in-car stereo.

You should get plenty of tracks on a CD.

Assuming you are using MP3 s and you encode them at a max of 192kbs (more than adequate for in car use) you should get closer to 200 on 700mb disk. WMAs tend to be a bit smaller so maybe that is the way to go

Wouldn't want a DVD full of MP3's too many tracks to navigate through. Just stick to CD's.

At the moment I 'm not doing albums I just put my favorite tracks onto disk and let them go.

Hi, i created folders for the music - wouldnt that overcome the 99 tracks problem?
e.g. folder for Killers music, Folder for U2 music etc.

You can definately have more than 99 tracks. I have a CDRW in mine with about 160 tracks on it. I just have it set up with folders like A, B, C etc.
