Gunzz

First I would like to say I have read alot of this forum and have learned alot about the Z1 from you guys thanks. I was about to purchase the Z1 today but now I am rethinking the purchase. The car stereo shop/installer recommended staying away from the Pioneer because he said he has seen alot need to be sent in for repairs. He recommended the Eclipse unit. However I was pretty much stuck on the Z1 and came here to learn if what he was saying is true. Then this thread came with alot of people saying the screen freezes up during boot up. Also having to worry about the extreme weather before

I am very close to purchasing a Z1 but need to know the real answer from you guys. I know I cannot download MP3s to the HDD and that they have to be music CDs, but can I download songs I have burned to CD from my MP3 collection, and will the unit add the correct info to it? I can burn CD's with info on it but will that copy? Pioneer tech says it will download and attach the info from a CD burned with text, but there own web site says it will only download music CD's (store bought). HELP PLEASE.
