...setting up mp3 cds is easy. just download itunes (free) from the apple store. set your burn preferences to mp3 cd (instead of audio cd) and start making 100 to 150 song playlist. i listen to a lot of classic rock. i have an mp3 cd with ALL my favorite springstten albums...on one cd.

For those that don't know, a CD+/-R can hold upwards of 800mb of data. So in the TCH non-Nav 6-disc changer you can have 4.8Gb of data available, and with the NAV 4-disc changer you can have 3.2Gb of data at your fingertips. So while this solution is a good compromise, don't expect to replicate your 30Gb iPod by burning CD's, otherwise you will have to carry about 40 CD's around with you. Searching for the correct CD and changing them while driving is probably just as dangerous as dialing your iPod.
This is why in my Paseo, I installed a DVD player head-unit without installing any video screens. A burned DVD can contain 4.7Gb of data. Therefore, I had my entire music collection burned onto just 5 DVD's. One of these days, I will install a DVD/NAV head-unit into my TCH, especially since the aftermarket double-DIN template is now available for the 07Camry.
