Dvd rw / stock head unit

  1. My model of MX-5 is: NC2
  2. I’m based near: Yorkshire
  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: __ Dvd rw

Had a frustrating weekend. Updated my ipod which duly then erased all my tracks 11ks worth, thanks to a software problem.

Question is can dvd rw play in the stock head unit ?

I may have to transfer my itunes to them if, the head unit will play them.

TIA

I’d suggest buying a new iPod or head unit rather than faffing around with discs

Do you not have your tracks in iPlayer??

I would but, apple arent updating software and my laptop is Windows 10, not sure if I can upgrade to Windows 11 and there are syncing problems with both windows and iTunes.

Yeah all the tracks are in my itunes, its the ipod or my laptop that has erased them

I thought I was good with a computer, now im not so sure :thinking:

I assume you do not have an iPhone? If you have an Android phone, you could buy Droid Transfer for £29 and it will sync your iTunes library to your phone instead.

Thanks for the info, yes I have an android phone I’ll look into that.

I felt quite old when I’d walked into the local Apple store then declared the ipod in my pocket was the greatest thing I’d been given. I told the sales assistant it went literally everywhere with me…his reply?

Whats an ipod!

You should be able to easily reload (sync) the ipod from iTunes.
Also, my Samsung Galaxy Android phone works perfectly well with iTunes, unless something has changed recently…
I have loaded my phone from iTunes and use Muzio Player to Bluetooth to a gizmo that plugs into the aux-in of my standard head unit.
In my 320d, I have loaded an ipod from ITunes and have that playing directly into aux in.

I thought the problem was with my laptop running windows 10 but I went to my brothers logged on to iTunes usi g his windows 11 laptop and it still won’t sync.

I’ve been told I can put a 512 micro sd in my phone and download my iTunes on it, saves carrying phone and ipod I suppose

Yes, that should be perfectly possible.
I think you will need to use an app as an interface though

Thank you

Why 512mb
I have 128gb in mine
