MP3.com has a list of current MP3 players for the car. I have the Kenwood Z919 and it works great. I've tried many mp3's ranging from 96-128kbps bitstream files all the way up to 320kbps at 48khz, and even variable bit rated mp3's. Anyway, it's a great player, great quality. I highly recommend it if MP3's are your thing (and you have a CD-burner). One thing that kinda sucks is when you change tracks. It takes about 2-3 seconds for the next track to play (not instant like CDs). Besides that, being able to have one CD with all the music you love (150+) songs is really nice. You could put them in different directories according to genre and switch between them depending on your mood =D, anyway, hope this helps.

Re: heh

Under the assumption that a normal person would simply say "thanks", I punched your reply into my A-hole/English translator. It came back with this translation: "Dear jsmiam: While your posting does not meet my needs at this time, I do appreciate you taking the time to reply to my posting. After all, isn't that Discussion Forums and Online Communities are all about? Thanks again, and have a nice day. Sincerely, OgreDave"

I suppose I could ask the same of you now, since my first reply to you also had smiles in it. Anyway... I'm done.
