Who knows if the G37 will share this restriction though.......but my guess is that it will.

Any word Canuck? CD-RW playback

Of course a burned audio CD-R will be ok, but I wonder if it can read from a CD-RW. That way i wont hafta waste so many CDs gettin 9 GB of music on that thing! I'm sure someone will find some hack down the road to transfer from CF to the HD.
I learned most of this from readin the 07 sedan forums, but maybe Canuck can chime in about wether the system can read audio CDs that are burned onto a CD-RW.
