Why are you taking all your songs off itunes and putting them onto cds to put onto your harddrive? Just leave them on the ipod.

...and for the iPod impaired....?
So, I take it nobody really knows what physical formats (as in DVD/CD) the MMCS will accept music from, nor what logical discformat can be used, apart from the obvious music CD.

That's not entirely true, at least if I understand what you're saying. I've loaded a ton of songs burned from iTunes to the MusicServer. It still shows whatever you named the playlist/CD first, but if you put the artist name in front of the album title that works fine (for example, instead of "Back in Black" the playlist is named "AC/DC Back in Black")
By the way, I'm at 86 CDs and counting. Over half are CDs burned from itunes with over 20 songs each.

Can't do that either, since the MMCS will rip directly from CD only. There is no way, for now at least, for you to save your homebrew MP3 to the MMCS.

I assume that the MMCS system will accept both standard WMA (standard CD files) and MP3... other than that, your on your own.
I doubt that it will read anything else, because there just isnt any other formats that are as widely used, and readable. Nor is there anything that I know of that compresses the standard size ofa track as well, and as intact as the MP3. Not to say there isnt anything else, just that its the fastest, best, and most used.

mp3 is a dinosaur. AAC (mp4) is quickly becoming the new standard. It compresses better and sounds better than mp3. mp3 is also currently tied up in litigation over rights issues. If the entity that owns the rights now loses, you may see it disappear altogether. iTunes Music Store is entirely AAC (80% market share) and the recent anouncement of EMI removing all copyprotection on ITMS will continue to solidify AAC in the digital music format wars. Hopefully Mitsubishi will release a firmware upgrade to license AAC in the future.

But the question still stands:
What combo of physical (DVD/CD) and logical formats DOES the MMCS accept...? My guess is that it'll accept any DVD/CD containing either music CD or UFS stuffed with MP3's (and, maybe later, after a long sought after SW upgrade, mp4...
)I'll sign up for an Outie tomorrow - but unfortunately I won't be able to get my hands on it 'til september... [:@] Oh well!!
(never should have sold that Cherokee).

morten, here's what most people have discovered in a nutshell:
Music server will rip and play audio cds, including burned ones.
The system will PLAY mp3 cds (and WMA, i think) and audio dvds, but audio dvds will not show artist/title info
the system will NOT play mp3 dvds, period, or any other compression format.
and rcpax, sorry for the misunderstanding. I think we're both trying to say the same thing.
