Seafood Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I've always been interested in picking up a z2 and was down at a local big box electronics store (Futureshop) the other week. When I was approached by a salesman I asked a few questions about the z2, one particular answer threw me off though when I checked the Pioneer's website after getting home. On Pioneer's website it says the z2 doesn't play mp3's off of DVDr the salesman told me that it does. I'm thinking he was just trying to make a sale and get his commission but does the z2 play mp3's of a DVDr? I need to know because this is a buy or not buy decision for me because it's an important feature to me. Also, I've considered the d3 but I also find it a hassle about the dvd based navi.

Eggsack Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I could not get my Z2 to play MP3s at all on CD nor DVD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cybersailor420 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I just played an mp3 CD-R in mine last night and it worked fine, titles and all. I burned it using iTunes, with burning option set to mp3 format. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MisFit Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 it worked on my z1, i dont why it would have changed on the z2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eggsack Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Ok cybersailor, please explain to me how to do this. I run iTunes for my kids iPod, but did not really spend to much time learning it other than just downloading songs for him. how would I do that for CDs to put in my AVIC in MP3 format? thanks, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
digitalee Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I just burn .mp3 files to a CD-R as data files, using the folder structure from my "My Music" folder. My Z2 plays them without any difficulty -- whether I burn them from a jukebox program (iTunes, Yahoo!Music, etc.), or Windows. It won't rip .mp3's to the hard drive -- but it should play them just fine off of a CD-R. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 The Z2 does not play mp3s on a DVDr. It does play mp3s on a CDR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seafood Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Thanks for all the quick replies. Ahh, I guess I'm going to be shopping for a d3 then because playing mp3's off of a dvdr is more important to me over the hassle of dvd based navi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShakAttack15 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 my z1 doesn't play dvdr mp3's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think the idea is, why would you want/need an MP3 DVD if you can just hook up your iPod. ... assuming you have an iPod... The interface sucks, but is no worse than mounting an MP3DVD as one giant playlist. Anyway, that's my devil's advocate response. Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't mind if the Z1/Z2 could read MP3 DVD's either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
