If you put MP3 files onto a DVD, your computer will still be able to play
them. However, a standalone DVD player will probably not be able to do
so. In fact, some DVD players that are fully capable of playing MP3s on a
data CD are still completely unable to do so on a data DVD. I'm not sure
why they're designed this way - it would seem reasonable to give them this
capability - but I've never seen a DVD player that could handle MP3s on a
data DVD.

The definitive reference is the epic compatibility table that
can be found online at www.videohelp.com It lists thousands
of DVD players and what kinds of discs and formats they will
and won't play.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to answer the question above - that is,
whether or not a player can handle MP3s that are stored on a DVD. It
shows a great many players that can play MP3s, but doesn't differentiate
between those that will play MP3s on a CD vs those that will play MP3s
on a DVD. Unless there's something in that table that I haven't deciphered.

Nonetheless, it is a very useful table.
