OK. Don't shoot me down just yet.
CD music can be copied to DVD. Right?
First how many minutes of CD quality music can be copied to a DVD?
I have one DVD that states only 120mins. Other people say that you can hold 6 CD's on one DVD. Is this true?
Secondly. Can the DVD with music now on it be played in most new CD players? (if they are DVD compatible) I read in a Computer Mag that the majority of CD players built in the past year will play DVD audio.
But obviously this will depend whether or not the DVD was burned using Constant Angular Velocity (CAV) or Constant Linear Velocity (CLV). AND it will also depend upon whether the CD reads using CAV or CLV.
So how do you know then if the DVD burner is using CAV or CLV and then how do you know if the CD player will read it. Is it automatically detected?
I guess now is the time where I get told to just go and do it and see what happens. In a nutshell I will. But before I do, is it possible. And if so how?

Not sure about the playing it in a cd player, but the 120 minutes you are speaking of is 120 minutes of video, not audio.

Unless you car can play DVD discs, or DVD audio discs, then now. If you throw in a DVD-ROM drive into your car, sure, but its like a PC. A CD-ROM drive cannot read DVD -ROM discs: you need a DVD reader. Likewise, a car will have no problem reading audio files on a DVD if there is a DVD-ROM drive installed in the car which probably isn't likely. So, the easiest answer is no.

I wouldn't mind having a multi disc DVD MP3 player. Imagine how many songs that could hold :D

1 DVD5 holds about 55 hours of MP3 audio and most DVD players will read MP3.

It's a common feature with newer players, but or older ones it's almost unheard of.

I'm talking about standalones. I know exactly nothing about DVD playback on car stereos (except that you can't do it on a regular CD player) ;)

I thought so :( but I was hoping you did mean cars as I would love one for the car :)
the best I've seen to get loads of stored music within a reasonable price is a multidisc mp3 CD player but not DVD. There is also the jukebox thing that holds Hard Drives etc but I'm not too keen on those
I have seen the 100+ disc holders but for silly prices and I'm not sure they play mp3. I do have a 100 disc home CD player I bought 8 years ago and it's just collecting dust now as I'm forever playing mp3's and I want to put them all on DVD so I can blast them anywhere :D

You and me both. Actually what I'd really like is to be able to play losslessly compressed PCM audio, but I don't see that happening. Over the last year I've been archiving all of my CDs on DVD with EAC and Monkey's audio and I get between 10 and 20 CDs on a single DVD-R.
