Does the stock headunit play CDRW or DVDs?

I'm using CD-RW for my music. Always!

You better start reading Kidd!

CD-RW yes, DVD-RW no. I use my radio (non-JBL) exclusively for mp3 playback from CD-RW's.

Does anyone know if the stock headunit thats non JBL (dont think that it matters) can read CDRWs or better yet DVDs? I wanted to store MP3 files on them. I dont have any of them laying around to check. Have anyone tried this or know?

CDRW: Yes.
DVD: No.

Does the regular non-JBL not have a 6 disk changer? I don't know cuz I gots the JBL, but 6 mp3 disks is like 72 albums. You need more than that?

On a side note, one thing that really pisses me off about the 6 mp3 disk changer is that the damn thing has to re-read the disks every time you switch between them. It just completely blows my mind why they wouldn't put a simple memory bank to keep the music titles for fast searching and quick switching. (Sorry, I'm venting)

If it plays CDRWs that is great news to me!

Sad thing about the DVD-Rs though.

even if it did play DVDs. there is no screen lol.
It does play MP3s though, i have some house music CDs and the tracks are like 80+ min long and there is 8 tracks in each CD.

I love having the single disc player with an mp3 cd, but I would kill to have 6 cd's packed with mp3's.

To be honest man, it's not that much of a benefit having the 6 disk changer if you use all MP3 cd's like I do. When you eventually fill up all 6 slots with disks that have 12 albums each like me, you get stuck looking for a needle in a hay stack if you want to listen to something in particular. The lack of a disk library/search feature is a major design flaw IMO.

Believe me, it's faster to switch one by one than go searching through a changer. The JBL does make up in sound quality though =)

I think he was asking about DVD's discs is because you could potentially store 4.7 gigabytes of MP3 files on them vs. 700 megabytes on a cd-rw.

What is a CD?? for that matter what is a DVD?? :lol:

Satellite radio and MP3 FTW!

Go take Music 101.

You can store files on a DVD as data files. If you use a DVD-DL then you can store up to 7-8 GB of content. Thats a lot of MP3s

Well, a single CD can hold more than 200 songs.

I wouldn't scroll over 200 just to find my favorite song... "The First Cut Is The Deepest."

My CD only has 25-30 songs the most in MP3 format, those are my favorite ones only. The rest, stays in the computer.
