harley45 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I have quite a few mp3 files on my computer that I have burned to audio CD with roxio buit I was wondering today can I burn audio tracks that will play in my car C.D. player on a dvd disc and take advantage of the greater size? If I can do this I'll cut the # of CDs in my car dramatically Thanks Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Nope. But if you were to get one of the newer CD players that reads MP3 format CD discs, you can burn them in that format and get 150+ songs per disc. MP3 discs are basically a data disc with the MP3 files on it and newer players will play them just as though they are regular CD's. -- Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harley45 Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 Can mp3 files be burned to a dvd and played on one of the se stereos or will I still need c.d.s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 That an interesting question. I have never tried it. I don't have a DVD player with that feature set so I can't easily test it. It ought to, but I don't know for sure?. I am sure that a DVD with MP3's on it will not work in a CD only player that plays MP3 discs. -- Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harley45 Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 George I read your first post early this A.M. and went out and bopught a new unit for my car that plays mp3s I was just curious about using dvd discs because i have thiose at home and no regular c.d.s plus I figure it would only take two dvd discs to hold my full collection. Oh well I'll have to go back tomorrow. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcoliver Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Can your car stereo play DVD movies? If not, it won't be able to read any media in DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precision40 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I've just spent the last 5 days trying to figure out why my new "DVD" burner won't work. Well.......After 5 days banging the keyboard on my head, I looked on the box and what I actually bought was a CD burner. All I can do is laugh about it. I also tried to burn audio on DVD discs and it did not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 P40. the issue here is that audio cd's and MP3 cd's are not the same and trying to make an audio cd with DVD media is impossible. But if you use/treat the DVD media as a data disc, you can put MP3 files on it just like you do with an MP3 CD. The DVD with MP3's on it might just work in a DVD player that supports MP3 CD's, but as I mentioned earlier, I don't have an MP3 CD capable DVD player to test this on. I do think it is possible that it will work as the data storage formats are identical in this case. -- Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerT Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 A kid at work gave me a CD with over 1400 songs on it. He mentioned that it was a "Single Layer" DVD, and that if you bought a double layer, you could put close to twice as many songs on one DVD.

GuildSF4 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 If the DVD player will read MP3 files it should read an MP3 encoded DVD disk no problem. 2 of my DVD players will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
