Default GS MP3 player

My sister just bought a 2013 GS 350 AWD. I know the cd drive takes mp3 format and I am planning to burn a cd mp3 for her. Can I burn a DVD mp3 since it holds more songs? Does it accept 4.7gb or 8.5gb dvd mp3 data format?

Also, I have the ipod classic 140gb and have plenty of songs, i am planning to give it to her. Is the connection easy as plugging in the usb port?

Thanks for input.

I drive a 2007 LX 470.

Does the 2013 GS350 have a USB port/input? I have my entire 283 album collection in mp3s on a USB drive. So nice to be able to listen to albums when traveling.

When you say "iPod plugin", what are you referring to? They're all just USB ports. The GS has 1 or 2 USB ports inside the armrest, if I remember correctly.

The GS won't play video from an iPod without a special cord, and then the car has to be in park with the emergency brake on...unless you have the bypass installed.

FLAC doesn't work.. I tried..

2 USB drives in the car.. for Ipod, it's as easy as plugging into the port.

Not sure if it'll play the MP3's off a DVD.. never tried.
