DVD MP3 Player?

Are there car decks out there that can play mp3s burned to DVD discs? The info I have read on DVD head units doesn't clarify whether or not they can play DVD mp3s.

Good Question, that would be awesome, you could listen to music just about forever. I would contact ALpine or Pioneer as they seem to be up on putting the newest technology in their headunits. You might have better luck with pioneer. They have a DVD player/screen with built in hardrives, navigation, separate sources for backseat passengers, and to top it off, what basically amounts to a g-force built in (0-60, 1/4 mile, etc) all in one unit. If anything could, that would be it. Downside, $$$$

A DVD head unit with GPS nav and a screen where the message center is at now would be pretty sweet. I burned a disc for one of my friends and it ended up having 753 songs on it, with a feww hundred meg to spare. Check out the [link:www.kalekainoa.com/mp3z/DVD_MP3z.txt|song listing], it took 12 pages to print out in Word with the text set to the smallest (8pt).

I found a Pioneer that sounds more like a Home Theatre Receiver for $600 that will probably do what I am asking:

I'm curious as to whether or not a home DVD player that plays mp3s would be able to play mp3 DVDs. I'll burn a disc and leave it in my car so the next time I'm at Circuit City or Best Buy I can find out for sure.

It won't work, I've tried it before. I backed up all of my MP3s to DVD-Rs but none of them work in my new Sony DVD player (yes it plays MP3s from CD-Rs). AFAIK your computer is the only thing that can play (or read for that matter) MP3s on DVD.

You could always buy an MP3 player...

Is your Sony DVD Player a home or car unit?

I'm just curious if the product exists and how much it costs. Judging by the price of the Pioneer I posted, I'll stick to a CDR based mp3 deck.

A home unit. I believe the software inside those types of DVD players is limited. Computer DVD-ROMs are basically the same as home and car units, but the difference lies in the software used to read the various file types.
 
RE: DVD MP3 Player?

When you burned the dvd with mp3's on it, did you use a software that supports creation of mp3 cd's? Or did you burn it as a data disc. I say this because on my home player, cd's burned as 'mp3 cd's for car stereos' will play and you can navigate the tracklist with the remote. I dont have enough a spare dvd-r for this but it's worth a shot.
 
RE: DVD MP3 Player?

That's what you are creating when you burn an mp3 disc, a data disc. I burned a data DVD. It plays fine in the computer DVD player.

I have a standalone, dual DJ mp3 player which plays data discs with mp3s just fine.

If you are lacking in the DVD-R spare department, check out supermediastore.com. I bought 100 4X DVD-R and 100 double DVD cases for $57. The DVDs alone were only $36. Haven't burned a coaster yet.

When you select data disc it wont burn a playlist file. I tried normal data disc in my car and it wont play. Your standalone is probably a lot more advanced.

I have played many data mp3 discs in two different mp3 car decks, a portable and my DJ unit. I think the problem lies with the source of your mp3 files. If you downloaded them from Walmart or someplace like that, it could be that you need to burn a separate file in order to play licensed mp3s.

I'll bet you can create an original recording of your own, save it as an mp3, burn it to a data disc, then play it in your car. You could also try ripping a couple of audio discs to mp3 format. For the record, I'm using Nero 6.

You can try this one if you are curious: [link:www.kalekainoa.com/mp3z/Bobbi_Humphrey_Harlem_River_Drive.mp3|Harlem River Drive]
