DVD with MP3's doesn't work

[macrover]

Just to save anyone trying this a blank DVD and burn time. I have confirmed, through trial, that MP3's can only be played from a CD-R and that DVD burns do not work in the stock stereo. I tried multiple brands -R and -S and they do not work. The CDRs with MP3s however work brilliant. With 6 disk capacity you can still have over 1000 songs on 700 MB CDRs. That's a few more tunes than I need anyway

Good to know - thanks for checking it out?

Is our stock stereo suppose to be able to play DVDs? Like DVD-Audio? Or were you just hoping it had the ability to read either media?

the only dvd player in the LR3 is the Navi if equipped. I know you can play mp3 dvds in a BMW's navi dvd reader, perhaps the same works on the LR3?

1) I can't imagine why someone would think the CD changer is a DVD changer. No product manager will silently put a DVD mechanism in a device that is marketed as a CD player; the marketing folk would **** them.
2) No, the Navigation computer is dedicated and won't play music on any form of disc. This is why it's under the seat.

Most roof mounted 3rd party DVD players, like the one Land Rover re-sells, will play MP3 files off of DVD and CD media, though.

Good point Gromett, I must have been something when I tried it. Oh well for all the laymen out there...don't waste a blank DVD. Both formats of CDR seem to work though.
