MP3s on DL DVD's... as played on a Sony DVP-FX820?

I'm considering a Sony DVP-FX820... I want to burn mp3s to a DL DVD and play them on the Sony. I can't find a walk through on what the MP3 interface looks like or how it works... anyone got one?

From the manual: "MP3 and JPEG files recorded on the second layer of a DVD+R DL/-R DL (double layered) may not be playable."

Response by poster: I saw that in the manual... on some discussion threads it sounded like that was a dvd write issue... but point noted.

Burn a DL DVD, take it into a store and see for yourself if it plays.
You have to fill the DVD up to about 8GB so you're sure that you're using the 2nd layer.
Also, if you have Nero, it will tell you what file it is on as it burns, so you can simply look and see what bands/songs are being burnt once the burner is laying down the second layer. Then just try to play those songs in the floor model.
