Mp3 DVD headunits

What headunits have the ability to play MP3s burned on a DVD?

I know JVC has Giga MP3 which is what I'm looking for but I'm not really a JVC fan so I was wondering what other companies offer MP3 DVD?

MP3s on CD-Rs only fit a fraction of my collection and I refuse to buy an Ipod

I'm not looking for DVD video playback.
I'm looking for headunits with the ability to read MP3 encoded DVD-/+Rs.

well i dont know of any that will read dvd mp3's and not dvd movies.... i would imagine that the player needs to know how to read the dvd format to read from the dvd disc. therefore they would all read dvd? am i wrong?? or do you not even want a screen?

Yeah it'll more than likely need to be able to read DVD video for it to be able to read MP3 encoded DVDs.

JVC offers what it calls "Giga MP3" with most of its new DVD receivers.
I don't care for a screen.

I just want 4.7 gigs of music on 1 disc.

I think it's a new thing most companies haven't rolled out with yet so I wanted to check with you guys first.

why dont you want an ipod? they are pretty sweet. the biggest ipod right cant even fit all my music, but it'll suffice. the fm transmitter is crappy though...stay away from that.

I already have a cellphone with 2gigs of music and video plus radio.
It's pretty pointless for me to buy an Ipod.

I could connect my cellphone to my headunit but I don't want to clutter up my car.

DVD MP3 player = easiest solution =)

ya, you'll have to get a dvd player to be able to play dvd mp3's, but not all dvd players play them, my pioneer didn't, but my new alpine is supposed to, not sure if all new alpine dvd players do.......

Yeah I'm curious as to what is out there too. I do not want an iPod or anything Apple for that matter.

i used to stay away from JVC as well. but i decided to give them a try with the AVX1 and i like it. i actually haven't used the giga mp3 feature cuz i don't have a dvd burner...but as far as the HU goes, nothing wrong with it, i like the features, its easy to use, and it looks and sounds pretty damn good imo.
