Why is everyone messing with the CD changer?
You guys do know the head unit will play MP3 files off even a Dual Layer DVD, right?
Just make sure you strip ALL mp3 metadata out of the file. For some reason, it won't play mp3 files well if they contain embedded metadata.
I listen to large (size wise) audio books, some more than 40 hours in length. I split the audio books in 10 minute files, number them sequentially, burn them to a Dual Layer DVD and I'm off. Even with a 40 hour audio book, I still have plenty of room on the DVD for a nice selection of music if I want a break from the audio book.
1 DL DVD = 8.5 Gigs
6 regular CD's = 4.2 Gigs.
No brainer.
It is too bad the CD changer can't play DVD's (even single layer) though, since they lack the hardware.
