You are making music cd's right now. So you can fit like 15 songs or so on a CD right? When you make music CDs that way they undo the compression of the MP3 format and the information takes up more disc space. If instead of making a music CD you make a Data CD you will keep the MP3's compressed and will be able to contain something like 150 songs maybe more on one CD. The only catch is that only some recent CD players will read this information. If your CD player has that capability you are all set. I know nothing about DVD writing, and doubt that your in dash cd player will be able to read those either. Honestly if you want a lot of music go out and buy a Dell DJ. Cheaper than the ipod, and does the same stuff. A 5GB sized MP3 player will hold a lot of songs 1000 maybe, 20GB will hold 5000 or so. Dell will tell you exactly how many it'll hold I am just going off of what I remember, which is far from reliable. The only reason to buy an ipod is that there are a lot of excessories for them. Seperate speakers, battery chargers, ect ect. I had a problem with my dell DJ and they sent me a new one with a box with paid postage to send my old one back to them. Came in 3 days great support. Apple might be a little more difficult, I don't know.
