Has anyone successfully made mp3 DVD (as opposed to mp3 CD) that iTunes will readily read as mp3 disc? Maybe using Toast Titanium? ISO 9660 mode maybe?

I know there is a thread about this, but it wasn't clear and I thought I bring it up again in case someone tried something new lately.

This is the last discussion.

...

iTunes 4 will now burn mp3s to DVDs. On Apple's website it says: "If you have a Mac with a SuperDrive, you can use iTunes 4 to archive your entire music library on DVDs for safekeeping, storing the equivalent of up to 150 CDs on each DVD-R disc." as well as: "Data DVDs only work in your DVD-equipped Mac and are primarily used for archiving and backup."

I don't think any device (like a DVD or CD player) will recognize an mp3 DVD, since it's apparently not part of the specification.

There is new DVD MP3 style discs but they are still in development, iTunes only backs up the music as files...

I think they are called DVCD's or something...
