Can I burn audio, say music to a DVD to play in my car radio. A DVD will hold alot of music. Just wondering before I try.

 

Audio CAN be burned to a DVD, however you have to have a DVD player installed in your rig to play it.. DVD players will play DVD's & CD's but CD Players will ONLY play CD's...

 

Thanks!!

 

problem is that audio CDs follow a strict set of rules (RED BOOK specs).

data CDs follow a yellow book... get this. the specs were in a book that was colored... RED or YELLOW... there were a few more but that's like the weird ones like CD-i, VCD etc...

anyways, in a DVD, there wasnt any specs that follow the YELLOW specs.

there were only 3 types that you can place music on a DVD:

* a data DVD
* a movie DVD with special section for audio
* DVD audio - now this was the really odd ball one since it came after the specs for the DVD was out. and of course a normal DVD player cant read it. you need a DVD audio player... of course, i havent seen any consumer level authoring software... but thats neither here or there...

so you are left out with making a data DVD which you hope your car DVd player can read...

or, make a DVD movie disc with nothing but a special menu with the audio tracks as chapters...

confused yet??????? lol....

 

I was hoping to record my favorite talk shows and play them while I drive. I only have a stock toyota stereo.

 

That's not gonna work. You'll need a DVD player to read DVD's. Will the shows not fit on a regular CD?

Another option is... get an ipod and a stereo adapter. Copy the shows to the iPod, plug it into the adapter, and you're set.

 

I was thinking the very same thing as I was reviewing responces.. Actually just about any MP3 player with a decent HD in it would work.. they have aftermarket transmitters to use thru the stereo.. I have a Dell Jukebox 10GB MP3 player and a $10 Belkin transmitter for it that I picked up at Wal-Mart. You can find decent deals on ebay.. That's where I got mine..
