Here are some more of the details, but I'd advise against attempting to run DVD's of MP3's on the OEM Infinity system.

Nero 6 SmartStart, selected Audio DVD, browsd to clean MP3's (again no iTunes junk here) and added (3) songs. Staples single layer 4.7Gb DVD+R at up to 8X. This test disc worked fine in a PC.
Mine works fine. I've got about 28 gigs of mp3s in my car now (10 of which is Phish, of course). However, there is no random button!!!!!!

I haven't tried flac files yet, but I am going to.

Sorry, I didn't actually get to watch the movie...I just stuck a burned movie in there and started playing and heard sound.

The reason was that there's no screen and my thing said DVD so it got me curious. Later I went by the dealer and the guy at the Parts dept said I can buy a screen and would work just fine.

I don't think flac files will be supported, but it won't hurt anything to try.

As for the random button-- from what I've heard, the random button on the single disc models isn't all that random anyway-- so you're not missing much. The recommendation is to burn your track list in a randomized order if that's possible.

Does the 6-disk changer model have the random button? Or shuffle? I couldn't find it

I can guarentee that flac isn't supported. Nothing has flac decompression built in. Nothing hardware-wise, that I've seen. Just use V0/APX mp3s and you're good.

and yes, you can get a monitor for the 6disc/dvd unit. There's a write-up in the write-up section on how to hook it up.

To the people who have discs failing, what bitrate and quantity of mp3s were you burning?

Your parts guy is wrong...if you browse the forum you'll see that buying a monitor and getting output from the factory dvd system is not a plug n play situation. I would imagine 99.9% of are not going to hack our JK dash and stereo apart just to be able to watch a movie in the front seat.
