music box
guys/gals Is there a way to download from the ipod to the music box? If not what is the approx. number of discs that can be loaded at the 132 setting. I can not find anything about loading the ipod so I would guess it is not to be done? THX

For the 9.3 GB music box, the owner's manual says it can store up to 200 hours or approximately 2900 songs. If we assume the average CD is about 45 minutes, around 266 CDs. Give or take a hundred or so

Shadowman is right. No way. Seems strange huh? It should be a pretty simple task, but companies think they should govern people's ability to share music. If someone is going to share/steal/bootleg music, they'll find a way to do it no matter what. Sucks for us though.

How long does it take to rip each CD? I'm not using the MusicBox at all right now because I don't want to spend hours sitting in my car swapping out CDs. If I'm at home I'm not just sitting in my car, and if I'm on the road I actually want to be listening to music. If it's really quick maybe I'll rip a few each day, but honestly given the USB port for connecting my iPhone and the ability to play 4.7GB of MP3s from a DVD-R (on the 2010), it just doesn't seem worth the time to me...

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think you have to listen to the entire song for it to rip. This is why I NEVER use it, because I rarely listen to an entire song start to finish.
If there is a faster way to rip, someone please let us know!

No, the whole CD (10-15 songs) is ripped in around 10 minutes.

The problem with the Music Box is the damn Gracenote software doesn't recognize song title and artist unless it's a retail purchased CD. Even legally downloaded MP3's put on a Mix CD don't get properly recognized. At least that was my experience.

There is also some type of update for titles. I really don't know if this helps with the name or not but here is the link

If you burn a cd exactly the way it is sold (same songs in the same order) it will recognize it. Gracenote uses the number of tracks, and the running time of each to lookup the album and song names.

Also the limitation of coping files from your ipod is through no fault of infiniti, blame the music companies and apple for that. Its the same reason you can't (not easily i.e. legally) copy music from your friends ipod to your computer.
