re music and harddrive

[larryk]

Hello

I am new to this forum and will take delivery of a 2007 G35S with all options except 4W steering tomorrow. I read a prervious post regarding ony being able to get 6 CDs on the hardrive. I sent an email out to the dealership and thier reply was "at the lowest bit rate, you will get 2900 songs at 4 min each in the alloted space." My question - is if you let the radio rip the CDs itself, does it only copy them as waves and not MP3s? It also said that the radio is also MP3 compatible and MP3s can be saved form the compactflash reader in the dash. What is your experience with these issues??Larry
