my z3 should be arriving via ups in a a couple of days....i was wandering if the z3 will rip and add burned cd's to it's library, and will grace note recognize the cd's data? will the system allow you to use voice command to pull up songs that are on the ipod?

You can rip burned cd's to the Z, but grace notes will only recognize it if it is organized the same as the original CD. Not sure about voice commands for the ipod...
