For those with DVD/Euro COMAND .. playing MP3's
I Use iTunes now to burn DVDs. The problem is it puts random songs in groups of 1-4 in the first 69 folders, and the rest of my coule hundred songs get thrown into the 70th folder.. anyone familiar with iTunes that has burned DVD MP3 discs?? It was nice to burn 250 songs in about 4 minutes.

iTunes save all their files in folders. One folder for each artist. What you can do, ist to drag and drop the selected files from iTunes into a folder on your desktop. Then you will have all the files in a single directory. But iTuunes will also place a number in front of the file name. I find this annoying, and use another program to strip out the number. When all files are placed in a single folder, use Nero or Roxio to burn the DVD. You can construct your own folders in both programs so that you have better control.

Thanks, I'll get familiar with Nero. only 1/4 of my mp3s are organized, its a nightmare trying to fix all the artist/song info. on 3000 songs.

Guys, have you gotten the MP3 DVD to work? I have the Euro headunit and cannot get the MP3 DVD to play yet. I get an disc error with both DVD+R and DVD-R. I'm burning with Roxio as a data disc.

Should work fine, try different disks or burning with different file folder setup.

Ever since I started saving Mp3's I have always saved them by singer name, then the song. Now when I burn these files I use either Nero, or Roxio, and just copy and paste the files in large blocks of I think about 50 mp3's at a time, into folders that hold 150 files.
If I try burning the Mp3's as data files then they will NOT work on the COMAND. (They will work on my domestic hi-fi and the computer. Just not the car)
When they play through the COMAND it shows the folder name at the top, then the name of the singer then the song title. The files are also played in the order that they are burnt.
Both burning programs are extremely easy to use (even I can use them)
Good luck,
John

Your question has been answered more than once. Read more, post less.

It is so easy to admit when you are wrong

Please accept my apologies.
I interviewed 'she that must be obeyed' and after exhaustive interrogation we do indeed have the option:
'Track Mix'
'Folder Mix'
Sorry if I caused confusion.

In the "Double layer DVD" forum, I asked as a followup to whether anyone had gotten a double layer DVD to work. You answered my question with the "data disc" answer which fixed my problem. For that I am grateful, for the direction to post less and read more you can kiss my a$$. You said my question had been answered more than once- where? I read every post that came up under a search for "DVD" or "DVD MP3" and found nothing.
