do some searching they are there. when you burn the cd make sure you are in Joviet format ( spelling?) do you have I drive in your car also? if so make sure you turn on the details button for the songs.

If you just use iTunes (PC or Mac) and your preferences say that TAGS will be attached to the songs, then if you burn the disk through iTunes the names will show up on the Nav screen. I did this on my nephew's new 550 a few weeks ago.

The only question I have, and I didn't check this out yet, is whether you can see the entire file structure on the disk (the folders sorted by Artist and then Album).

The same disk on my other friend's new 325 without iDrive had the complete file structure, so you could just go to the Artist, then select the Album and all the songs in that Album were listed in order. It was great.

On the 550, the songs appeared all in a long list. Not easy to find.

When I get my 330 with Nav, I'll try it and see if you have to do something in iDrive to see the root directory, etc.

Burn a CD and then put it in the DVD drive.
