Burn MP3 on DVR or DVRW

[texasized]

Is it possible to burn MP3s to a DVR/DVRW and then play them in a regular cd player? I have done this with CDR/CDRW. I do not own a DVR/DVRW but I am on my way to buy one now. Sony 530U 8x +-DVR/DVRW on sale at Office Depot for approximately $100 after mail in rebates starting today. I think this is the correct model number. Just wanted to know about the burning question. If it will work, then which media do I use, + or -?

Thanks,
Dwayne

Not unless you somehow got a CD player that reads DVDs...

However, you should be able to do this with a portable *DVD* player if you have one.

In which case it would be a DVD player

and to answer your question texasized, data on DVDs is packed much more densely than on CDs, hence requiring a much finer/precise laser. That's why DVDs players will read CDs but not the other way around.

I'm waiting for iRiver to make a DVD-based portable for MP3, WAV and (in a perfect world) FLAC. With FLAC you could fit about 15 CDs per disc at true CD quality. With MP3 you could use an insane bitrate like 320 kbps and fit 30+ CDs per disc.

I'd get an ipod mini or 15 GB but I'd hate to spend $250-300 and find it has a wimpy headphone amp like on my yepp flash player.
