Which Auto DVD players play MP3 files of a DVD Data disc?

I have only found one so far (though I haven't been looking too much) and it was a no-name cheap brand.

Since a DVD can hold a lot of songs it would need good firmware to make it useful. The one I had bought did not and I returned it in 40 minutes for a Kenwood that only played CD media.

Hmm, nobody else know any DVD players that can play MP3 files off a DVD Data disc?

I'm kinda late getting interested in this topic; hope you're still watching.

I recently bought a Sony DVP-NC875V model (5-disk changer), then found that the manual states it will play mp3 from "a DATA CD". I didn't bother taking the player out of the box. On another forum I asked around -- somebody reported his NC875 plays mp3's on dvd's -- but no shuffle or random.

I've found (via lots of time with Google) that "many" dvd players that *say* they play mp3 on cd will *also* play mp3 on dvd.

But I want a changer, certainly with random/shuffle. Still looking.

DVD Player that plays MP3s recorded on DVD-R
I searched & searched & FINALLY found a DVD player that will play MP3s recorded on a DVD-R. I burned 951 songs on a DVD-R, went to several stores w/the disc and tried the ones out that were supposedly both MP3 & DVD-R compatible. My findings varied. Some could read the disc, but only partially (ranging from ~50 to <600 songs), others couldn't read them at all, & yet others froze & wouldn't eject the disc without unplugging the unit then turning it back on. I tried all brands from Yamaha, Pioneer, Sony, Phillips, Panasonic, Toshiba, JVC, Mitsubishi, NAD, Samsung, LG (you get the picture). I was actually looking for a DVD recorder, but none of them could even partially read the disc. One of the Phillips DVD players COULD read it, but just seemed very cheap-looking (like some college student's senior project). I ended up going to the Bose Outlet, they're a factory authorized dealer for Onkyo. The disc worked & I paid <$100 for the player. It also plays JPGs. I later recorded a disc w/1301 songs on it...and I was shocked that it read every single one (thought for sure the cutoff would be 999). Model is Onkyo DV-SP302. It's a great buy & a great DVD player, also has shuffle play.

I haven't tried DVD-RW with MP3s yet.

Strange thing is that the DV-SP502 (more expensive model) could only read a few dozen of the songs.

I can't seem to find a car stereo that will play the DVD-R. I tried the disc w/951 songs on JVC KD-DV5100 & it couldn't read it (though it claims to have GIGA MP3 capability).

bvalenz that was a -r thatyou used?

Yes, dvd-r worked on the Onkyo. i haven't tried other DVD formats yet. CD-RW works as well. I understand that Onkyo is replacing the 302 w/303. Not sure if 303 will work

Great find bvalenz with the Onkyo player, however I was specifically looking for and asking about a DVD player for a car that could play all MP3 files of a DVD data disc, anyone seen such a beast?

Thanks for doing the leg work and finding the Onkyo player. You say it will play MP3 files from a DVD-R, but will it play also a DVD+R disc.
