Music Server - MP3's - 9/2/2007 12:03:15 PM    Roq   Posts: 8 Joined: 8/31/2007 Status: offline Hello all, I just got my Outlander yesterday and noticed when I put a regular CD in the music server automatically ripped the songs onto the music server.  However, I used to have an MR2 with an MP3 player in it so I have a data cd of just MP3's that I put in and the system will play them fine, but would not copy them to the HDD.  Is there any way to copy MP3's from a data list to the HDD?  Sorry if this is a newbie question heh... Oh and I love my new car, it is freakin' awesome.  Glad I stumbled across the Outlander on consumer reports online =) Thanks in advance! -Jared Post #: 1

However, some members here are trying to pull out the hard drive in order to: 1. replace the 30G 2.5" hard drive with a larger one, and 2. find a way to load mp3 files directly. But nobody has succeeded yet. So stay tuned. _____________________________ 2007 Loaded Outie XLS (in reply to Roq) Post #: 2

So why wont it just copy them like every other cd you put in there? _____________________________ 07 XLS Outlander Graphite Gray Pearl Navi, Sun + Sound, Luxury, AWD 1970 Chevelle 350 http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/antlip/Chevelle/Picture001.jpg 1995 Eclipse GSX Auto 6 Bolt SOLD (in reply to GPSeek) Post #: 3

I guess their concern is more related to copywright stuff. _____________________________ 2007 Loaded Outie XLS (in reply to antlip) Post #: 4

Like say you download 10 songs and put it on a normal cd will it copy it to the server? I have everything on my ipod now so I have only played 1 cd total in 7 months. _____________________________ 07 XLS Outlander Graphite Gray Pearl Navi, Sun + Sound, Luxury, AWD 1970 Chevelle 350 http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/antlip/Chevelle/Picture001.jpg 1995 Eclipse GSX Auto 6 Bolt SOLD (in reply to GPSeek) Post #: 5

It simply plays mp3 CDs without copying it to the hard drive. _____________________________ 2007 Loaded Outie XLS (in reply to antlip) Post #: 6

Definitely a lot less songs to fit on one CD though. _____________________________ 2007 Outlander XLS Deep Blue (in reply to GPSeek) Post #: 7

RE: mp3-CD, pause between tracks - 3/12/2008 5:19:03 AM    Cuffy Posts: 268 Joined: 1/27/2008 Status: offline GPseek, I inserted a disc w/MP3 saved music that i burnt on CD-RW and it downloaded it the server with no issues.  It's an old disc so i don't recall what format i saved the music in, but it worked for me fine. TorePupper, The delay you are experiencing may be the formatting of the disc or just how the server reads the data from the CD. _____________________________ 2007 XLS AWD Diamond White Pearl w/Beige Leather Luxury Pkg - Nav Pkg - Sun/Sound Pkg OEM 18" 7-Spoke Wheels Curt Hitch/OEM Harness (in reply to TorePupper) Post #: 9
