as far as i know, gor is right about ripping songs from audio CD to HDD. If you are looking for an option to transfer songs from iPod, I don't think it can't be done. You almost better off to install a VAIS Tech iPod integration kit. If you op for the top of the line, it will also enable the iPod video to play via the navigation screen. BTW, isn't the HDD a 40GB not 8 GB? or did I have too much to drink tonight?
