AMG Wheels-Sport pkg and Ripped CD's

I am getting my 2003/E500- Sports PKG- E2-E3- Keyless remote in 2 weeks. It is a lease. After seeing the rim options on Tirereack-I am now seriously considering buying the car to have the wheels on my choice- sick no?
What do the member think of the rims that come with the sport pkge ? I think the other rims make a huge difference.

Do I have any other options?

Last stupid question- I rip and burn my own CD's- standard CD-
it plays on my 2000 audi-
I would hope that the 2003 E also can them.

I'll answer your CD question - yes! No problem playing your burned disks - in fact, they sound great!

Excellent system ... like you're in a concert hall. The twelve speakers do wonders for every musical piece that the system plays. All of the seven CD slots are loaded all the time and I just let the system cycle through the music.

No complaints ...

I agree wholeheartedly. In fact, now I'm thinking of getting the integrated phone since I'll never hear incoming calls otherwise (the sound is magnificent when loud, IMHO).

Yeah, they install phones and other accessories at the regional prep center upon entry to US (also check emissions there).

I'm waiting for the voice-activated phone, hoping that it might be reviewed better than the non-BlueTooth phone now being sold.

You can use both. The single slot is CD0, the changer slots are number CD1-6. So you can actually have 7 CDs inserted at once!

This is probably an even more stupid question than most.....

Can I, and if so How, burn music CD's on my RW CD/DVD drive that will play in the CD Player? I would like to put together music from many CD's so I would not have to go thru them all when driving.

Never tried it before and have no idea of how to do it. I have Roxio Easy CD maker and it works fine for data and pictures.

Anyone have a simple explanation?

Ed

One of the options in Roxio is to "Make a Music CD". Select that and you will be presented with a screen where you will be able to assemble your music selections. I've done it many times and the CDs that I burn play perfectly in the car's CD player.

Have fun!

etenn -- I agree with SaintVir. If you've made data CDs with Roxio, then music is no different. You don't even have to transfer the track to your hard drive. Say you have a dozen CDs you want to blend. Just stick them in one at a time and build your set list. You have a progress bar that shows remaining time. When you're through, hit record and the software will prompt you to insert the required disk at the required time. (This assumes you have at least 2 CD/DVD drives -- if not, then other modalities work also.)

Thanks....I do just have one cd/dvd drive. Will it have to copy to hard drive and then back to RW CD?

Yes, a hard drive directory/file is used to temporarily store the data to be burned on the same CD that you are copying from.
