I once heard that Kenwood makes a deck that reads normal CDs and mp3 CDs which are made just by saving mp3s on a blank CD (roughly170 some of them). Is that true, it would be great if it was.

Yes Kenwood makes one KDC-MP8017.(Kenwood says they are shipping now(Yeah right)).

JVC has one as well the Digi-fine s99.(won't be out until June)

[98ramss/t]

yes Kenwood has two, The Z919, but its not out this year. It was a really cool deck but you could not fast forward through MP3's, no D-mask, or detachable face.

Kenwood does have a new one like Coop said and Its at our store. Its not as cool as the Z but at least you can fast forward through MP3's. It also come with a manul "D-mask". If it had the cool the display as the Kenwood 9017 we wouldn't be able to keep them on the shelfs. The 8017 is slower to "boot up" then the Z919 on MP3 encoded disk, but hey the Z was twice as much

The Sony indash MP3 player model number is: CDX-MP450x


I am waiting for Kenwood to make a MP3 cd changer so I can still use my eXelon headunit.....
