iTunes by dgrahamr

I have tons of iTunes songs that I bought on iTunes (not burned from CDs). Limitations of iTunes are obvious now that I'm trying to get the songs onto my Music Box! Is there any way other than by burning CDs in iTunes? Assuming not, I'm going to go buy some CDs and start burning. Does anyone know if I can use CD-RWs, so that I can reuse the same CDs, or will the player in the car only play CD-Rs, not CD-RWs?
 
Thanks!

Search on the web - there is a company that makes a virtual cd-rom driver, which when used with iTunes will produce mp3 files right on your hard disk. So you do not need to burn physical CDs.

G35 radio display going off ! by eunos33
Apr 01, 2007 (11:13 pm)

Hello Guys, I have noticed that my center control panel (the one with the a/c radio etc) turns off a couple of minutes(sometimes seconds) right after I turn on the car. All of the panel goes black(unless I have the lights turned on). The bose radio continues to sound, but I cannot control anything from the center console(change stations,turn volume up or down etc) I can change the system from the steering wheel but I would like to know if there is something more than to take the car to the infiniti dealer. I have checked all the fuses, removed the radio a couple of times and changed the electric panel but it still continues going black. I noticed that as soon as the panel goes black, the a/c turns on automatically but since I have no controls over the a/c I cannot turn it off or lower it. If someone can help me I will be very thankful.
 
BTW my car's warranty is over because it has over 67,000 its a 2003 G35 Coupe 6M/premium

Using a CF card by alfster3

Forgive my ignorance.
I understand that music cannot be transferred to the HD music box from a CF card. I can go buy some CF cards and play music directly from the card. Seems a little inefficient. But, my question is, how do I get the music from my computer's hard drive to the CF card?
I realize there is probably a simple answer to this, but the only experience I have with CF card is in my digital camera.
Thanks.

alfster3, you will need a CF card reader, it allows you to read and write to the CF card just like a hard drive, it gets a drive letter when you plug it in. Then you can use Windows explorer and just drag and drop folders or songs onto the CF card.
 
The reason you can't copy files is simply that Infiniti doesn't want to deal with RIAA or some similar group of imbeciles that are still wasting their time trying to curb music theft, it's simply taking the safest route by only allowing you to rip CD's. Seems to shut RIAA up enough, but I bet if they let you copy MP3's then there would be lawsuits.
 
If you have MP3's and no CD you are allowed to burn the MP3 to an audio CD and then the music box will rip that. your perfectly within your rights and it's a function iTunes and windows media both support.

Eunos, did this problem just start? After everything goes black, are you not able to get it to come back until you restart the car? I would say it sounds like a problem with a controller somewhere. I would take it to an auto electrical guy and have him diagnose it. A diagnosis typically costs about $65 - $75. Let him find the problem for you and a price to fix it. Then call a dealer and find out what the part (assuming he wants to replace a part) actually costs. Also, something I've learned is that when you call a dealer for a price for a part, let him give you a price and then ask for a discount. They'll usually drop the price 10%- 15%. Also call around because different dealership offer the same damn part for different amounts.

Thanks. I thought it would be easy. I'll go ahead and get a CF reader and a couple of CF cards. Still think this is an inefficient way to get music on the music box. But, I'll jump through the hoops if it is all above board.

Speaking of ripping CDs... by scottm123

I have to hit the record button to start recording to the drive.
Do I have to make sure I hit record before the first song starts, or does it start back at the beginning of a song once I hit record?
 
I haven't played with it yet.

Scottm123, there is a music box setting that will allow you to record automatically, might be worth engaging. Some say that the CD stops ripping if you change to a different music source, but I have found that it still rips the CD in the background.
 
I've had a CD set to record and turned the car on and off while running errands and the music was recorded perfectly to the music box, it probably just had to restart whatever song I killed the engine at.
 
Specifically, no you don't need to hit record right away, you can do it at any time and it will do whatever it needs to get the CD onto the music box.

I saw the option, but wasn't sure if I wanted it.
I'd like whole CDs, and if it's a short trip, I'm out of luck.
 
Does it record the same CD everytime, or does it know enough when I play a CD I've already recorded, to not record it again?
