how many do you have?
do you have a dvd burner?
you could go that route or you could buy an external hard drive.
price range if none of the above is in your possesion?

dvd burner, then get a receiver that will play the dvd mp3's for your ride
the radios go for like a buck forty. |
Domination takes full concentration..

shouldnt matter... most dvd burners these days unless its a few years old take both... most players now a days take both unless specified.
there were rumors they were going to do away with the - but havent seen that yet.

23/4.7 is about 6 maybe 7 to be safe
alot cheaper than a external hard drive but will take a few nights to do..
external hard drive push a button and go.
also if you don't have a dvd burner you will have to install one... if cracking the pc case makes you nervous then external hard drive all the way.

tough to find a 40 gig these days unless you make one yourself
but 200 gig and worry free for a long time cost about 160 bucks

heres a 40 for 89 bucks but i wouldnt reccomend it...
have had bad luck with Wester Digital plus its a slower drive which means longer time to read write.
