If I pop in a music CD, how fast do the songs take to transfer? Not looking forward to idling in my driveway waiting for the thing to finsh...

 

shouldn't take that long, if you stop in the middle itll start again when you put the cd back in

 

about 7 mins... depends on the ripper you use

 

hes talking about the x nav hd

 

Depends on lenth of the CD. Also if they are WM or MP3. What i have been doing is doing 1 CD at a time everytime i get in and i go to work.

 

How about a normal music CD that you buy at the store, 10-12 tracks. How long does it take approximately?

 

I can only rip audio CD's and not mp3 ones. It can take up to 20mins to do a CD.

 

Does the head unit play Mp3 CD's.. i ordered my evo x and awaiting delivery from Japan

 

I have ripped aobut 25 CDs to my NAV , they are 19- 20 tracks long, and generally takes about 15-18 mins. it will stop when you turn the car off but resumes as soon as you restart the car. I did 3 disc in the car 1 day and just turned the ignition on you dont have to have the car running , It didnt seem to pull much on the battery when i started it later. I too wish there was a faster and better way . I used 3 different CD- RW and put my own songs in alphabetical order . so each new CD would make some order. it will only record the first letter as the title , then i went in and finished editing each song title, wasnt in the mood to do artist. works ok , just slow, I do a one each day on the way to work

 

sorry to bump an old thread but i was trying to put my music cds to the hard drive but it says cd not recordable is cam you transfer from cdr's to the hard drive?

 

Yes CDRs should work, I personally use CDRWs, make sure its an audio CD, not an mp3 CD.
