Post I'm excited!

I just had an Mp3 reading car stereo put in my car. Which means I can save Mp3's as files on a storage disk and play them in the car, no conversion required.

Just fooling around I saved 33 tracks on a disk last night and still had enough room to put 80 more!

(James rubs his hands gleefully) Over a hundred of my favorite songs on one disk!

If I have a hundred favorite songs . . .

Question

Even if you did put 100 songs on there, you wouldn't have to change the cd forever!!!
Have fun with your new "toy" as I still have only a one disc cd player in my little car....

That's cool man, what was the cost for this?
Also, do you have a portable mp3 player, i've been looking at them for a couple years now. And how do these car players differ from the handheld ones? 17 more ?'s to go...

One of my bros got a stereo like that for his car. He keeps about 2 months worth of music in his car at all times I think he paid about $600 for it a year ago.

Don't feel bad, that's all I had until about a month ago, when I bought a cheap in-dash cd player off of ebay. It's a piece of crap too...

Same here, mine skips really easily too. I bought mine for 70 bucks at best buy and it was the cheapest one there.

I've got a portable mp3 player (Samsung Yepp from a couple of years ago) They're pretty cool, great sound quality, nice and small, fits into any purse!

My friend told me about this program called "Morpheus" that you can download from musiccity.com It plays MP3's on your computer, and you can even download NEW ones---it's even better than Napster, and they don't have a lawsuit against them somehow!

Well, I also recently got a new fancy-shmancy computer (LOL), and it has a CD burner and DVD player on it. So I'm going to burn the MP3's to CDs so I can play the CDs at parties and stuff!

Ooh, envy!!! I only have a cassette player, and a really crappy portable CD player that hooks into it - you can barely hear the music even if you crank it to max volume. I've copied a few of my favorite CDs onto tapes just for the car... I will probably be replacing my car some time in the next 2-3 years so I can't be bothered upgrading the sound system.

Cost was about $179 Its a standard stereo head with a CD player that plays standard CD's and will read MP3 files burned into a storage CD. Which is why it can hold so many files. If I burned a normal converted MP3 CD it might hold 20 tracks tops. I also have it coneected to a 10 disk cd changer in the trunk . . . but I am having fun with the mp3's.

I'm not sure the difference is the hand held one a CD player?

I would like to buy a portable CD player that plays can read mp3 files.
