 :-?

if summing the contents of 3 CD dont exceed the biggest CD capacity,  its possible by copying them on disk and writing them at once..Otherwise DVD-RW is necessary


some CDs can hold upto 850 mb.. but the writing software must support..

another solution is compressing the files..


edit: personally I dont recommend high capacity CD like 850 some

units may not read them..

.. or burn them onto a DVD?

What are we walking about - music or data?

If it's data, compression may help as cem said.

If it's music, some newer CD players can play MP3 files from CD, so if you ripped the music, compressed it to MP3 and then burnt the MP3 files back to CD it might help - if your CD player can play MP3 :-/

Are we talking Audio or data cd's?

If audio, how long is each cd?
If data, how much is on each cd?

Its audio.

Im tight and I normally wait for an artists best of or greatest hits. I was thinking, if I could get for instance Queens Platinum Collection (3 discs)on one CD that would free up half the Omegas CD Player ;)

In that case, no, too much Audio for one disk.

You could pick your favourite tracks and make 1 best of though...
youve about 72 mins to fill
or 80 mins on some cd's

I was trying to avoid this as I have the ccrt700 which is quite useful. Looks like I will have to do as Jimbob suggests and pick my favorite tracks.

Cheers Fellas :y

My solution is a pioneer bt55 headunit.

Colours match the meega well
MP3's so loadsa room (yes I know I lose quality)
Bluetooth hands free from my phone.
Display / Controls adaptor, so Mid and steering controls still work.

I think it's a cracking solution, perfect for me  :y
Think it cost about £250 all in, there are cheaper alternatives now.

Cant you just swap the multi changer in the boot for say an MP3 player?
You would then keep your orginal radio and perhaps your steering wheel buttons?

What I'd really like is an in-car MP3 player to which I can connect a great big hard drive full of all my MP3s and then browse them.

Anybody tried this? I guess a MP3 head unit with a usb disk connector might work, but can they cope with cataloguing 10's of gigs of data?

One of the old Dension units would fit the bill nicely but they don't make them any more. :-/

I know you can go this with an IPod + adaptor kit but I have no other use for an IPod and it's an expensive way of buying a hard disk.
