PaisanNYC Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 There are quite a few threads here about this already. Can't be done. Only from CD's Quote Link to post Share on other sites

silveradojeff Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 hey attilas, how did you burn the mp3 dvd? i also tried and had no luck, the z1 said disc cannot be read or something like that? what program did you use to burn? and did you do anything special? thanks for any help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Probably burned as a dvd audio disc. I've run a few dozen different programs burning dvds with mp3s on them and had no luck getting any of them to read on the z1 we had on display. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cirbirus Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I think it's pretty fair to completely ignore attilas' post. It's his first post and he hasn't bothered to answer. This generally means someone "knows" something [b]should[/b] be true but in fact is not but that doesn't stop them from fosting (false-posting). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cntrylvr79 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Yeah would be nice if useless posts like this could be deleted or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
attilas Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I guess I should quit posting at 2:30 in the morning. I screwed up thinking that I had burned a DVD data disk and instead had burned a CD data disk. Sorry to have some people have a shit fit about it. Honest mistake. Probably no consolation. but the CD does work just fine. The player recognizes the CD with well over 100 songs on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cntrylvr79 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 In order to transfer ANY songs from cd to the hard drive the cd MUST be burned as an AUDIO cd. That means about 20 tracks maximum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just dragged the files (MP3's) from my hard drive. The ID tags were read just fine. I always clean up my ID tags so that they display the correct info. The display of the unit lists the track numbers with the file names, whereas as the top of the display lists the artist & song from the ID tag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

silveradojeff Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 i had tried a few times to make an mp3 cd that would play on teh z1 and failed. I found my mistake, i was using the multisession format which wont work. i never even noticed that before because its automatically checked. I had to uncheck it. now it works fine. you can put about 8-12 albums on 1 disc. and its very easy to search from album to album , better than the ipod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
