Obviously this is quite clumsy if you have a lot of iTunes music, since in step (a) you'll only be able to get 15 to 20 songs on a CD in regular audio format. So you may need to create a large number of audio CD's. But this definitely works.
Thx for the advice. My e92 is due in the US next week (1/8/07), my iPod is due today, and I installed iTunes last night. I was wondering if I'd be able to get iTunes music into the CD player in case I don't want to grab the iPod.

Do I understand correctly that a data DVD with MP3 files on it would also be playable thru the Logic7 system? That would get a LOT of music onto one platter! Do you have to do anything to get the stereo to recognize the DVD drive as an audio source? And does having a data/music DVD in the drive mean that you can't use the nav system?

(My car is a 335i, so Logic7 stereo. I also have nav+iDrive.)

Thanks for the help, everyone!
