I'm sure I'll copy some, but then I'll probably never update it and just use the CF. Did I read somewhere you can 2X the copy speed on the CD to music box?

I was in the same boat.....I only have an SD card reader in my laptop as well. I picked up an external USB card read off of eBay for $3.....so they are quite cheap.

I believe you are correct on the 2X copy speed.

As posted earlier, I also wish Infiniti would would update the firmware for the CF reader, as you must be organized before copying tracks to the CF card otherwise the tracks will be out of order (even when numbered.)

Thanks 07G for the update. Makes me feel better about my G I'm picking up next week. I was really worried when I found out no MP3 in the rear 6 CD changer.

Just placed an order for a pair of 2gb CF cards for $9.99 a piece after mail in rebate that is. I hate mail in rebates!

Since we don't have a Fry's on the east coast, I settled for the 2GB Sandisk Ultra II CF card from Staples for $40/each (no rebates). I picked up 4 of them...lolz

This is the one I bought:

Make sure it is not sent via UPS. They will add the 14%. Dell.ca had 2GB cards on for $59 (free shipping). I ordered one on Friday and it arrived Monday.

Yes, an Ultra II card is still a Type I card.
