hello all , i dont know if any one trayed this but can you use the DVD CD and burn mp3 Songs in it and use it in the MP3 player in the rx8 ?? any one did this ??

RX Renesis

hey u no this might be possible IF u have the DVD navagation that is.... but i don't think the stock MP3 deck can read DVDs....

takahashi

If you are asking if the MP3 player can take DVD+R, DVD-R or DVD+RW. The answer is no.

It will be good if it did. Since my collection of songs are about 7Gig and only 2 disc. I downloaded 3Gig of Chinese songs last year :p

RX8 XTC

What if you just used the DVD CD as a data and burn Mp3's in it woulde it still work Or no ?? i dont know why it wouldent be abel to play it ? am gona tray and do it after instaling my mp3 player, if for some reson i shouldent Put the DVD cd In the mp3 player can some one Please stop me from doing it LOL.

takahashi

Well if you put a DVD+R into a CD driver of course it will not work.

But if you put the DVD+R into sat nav then I am not sure.

The MP3 can accept CD+R and CD+RW though.

DVD's and CD's spin at different speeds

they are completly different formats....there is no way a cd player can read a dvd

truemagellen

ditto and as for the NAV dvd drive...DO NOT put a different CD or DVD in it...in fact it is not using standard DVD format either...it was burnt backwards as a security measure...putting it into your home PC will not work and could damage the disc

NAV DVD-ROM does NAV only...the only way for the nav screen to do other things is hacking into the RGBS wires...check my signature for that, click on link

lol this might be a lil dum for me to ask but when you burn the mp3s to the cd is thir any thing i shoulde do befor that or just put all the songs on the cd and hit burn ??

truemagellen

if you are using the Mazda MP3 drive (optional add-on) then you simply burn all the MP3 data files as a DATA CD, make sure you have ID tags correct as they will be displayed on the LCD display

RX8 XTC

ok i got done instaling that thing and DAMN F^%$Ing connectors took the longest to deal with any ways every thing works fine

by the way is thier a way or dose the letters scroll accrose the lcd ?? i dont know if it dose or not ??

truemagellen

press Text button for letters...and make sure you have your ID tags right

takahashi

The text button you can dial left and right. DISP button to change b/n the title, artist name and album name. They display 13 characters only. Only English characters :o

I wonder if the Japanese have Japanese displaying units

ID tag V2.3 will be the best.

hotpot

I read somewhere that the mp3 player only shows ID tags v1.0 and v1.1.

RX8 XTC

wah ID TAG well i have like 20 gig music how can i edit all of them at once ?? looks like ill be here till next year EDITING ID TAG S !!!!

takahashi

There are many ID tag labeller can do the conversion from ID v1 to v2 and vice versa.

Funny. Coz I change all my song's v2.3 to Unicode - because I want to display Chinese in iPod. When I burn the CDRW with the new title and put it to the MP3. I went from "NO TITLE" when there is a chinese character to displaying "????". And the only thing that I change is the v2 tag.

Most MP3 you can edit and select to display v1 and v2. I urge you to edit all your songs to that.

RX8 XTC

takashi i keep geting no title too but song names ETC.... comes on what program you recomend to use for id tags that is not hard to use ?? thank you thats funy you Got the dsiplaying character to be like (( ???? )) LOL

takahashi

it is taka-ha-shi or simply taka. Takashi is first name of a guy 貴司 or 貴之. Takahashi is a surname 高橋。Anyway I don't know why I do this. Call me taka (coz I am too tall and too handsome for an Asian dude).

Anyway. I am using a free ware that is made by a chinese guy mainly is to change Big 5 to Unicode - good for me you see. Can rip (or purchase ) chinese music and convert to useful tag for iPod.

Don't worry it is written in English, so anyone can use it without problem.

Here is the link and click on the download after a section of chinese (which explain the usefulness of the program or translate as "blah blah blah" )

dang i forgot about this Thread any ways its working fine with no Problems the only thing is that some of my Songs don't have the Id tags in them and their for i don't know how to Get the Info of the song from the Internet i did get few Audi programs to do that for me but it didn't work .. Mp3 ... its.... Damn Nice !! :D but i wish the letter's scowled Automatically instead of me using the **** !!!

Taka and every one els thank you guys for the Info :D

takahashi

You are Welcome... did you end up using CDs?!

You might want to go to your local computer shop to search some MP3 maker (the older version will go cheap). They have internet bank of data that can detect what album you have got and download the titles!!!!!!

RX8 XTC

Yes i did end up using normal cds but i am going to tray and see if i can USE a dvd cd to play mp3's i have to back up my music on those dvd CD's i got too much music LOL , by the way if the music were put in a Folde's On the cd and they are MP3 formats will it still play on the OEM mp3 player or no ? because if it dose ill tray using the dvd cd after backing up my music on it if it didnt work i still have my music backed up :D
