Or another solution.  I use the Archos jukebox and am quite happy.  It
holds 6 gigs...(approx 1/8th of my mp3 collection) and I understand
there is a 20 gig model.  It plugs into rca input on head unit, and you
can take it with you to listen via headphones, or in the office...

~250 at best buy.

Enjoy

Philip

Before getting a CD-RW I used to play MP3s in the car.

I had an ingenious solution. I have (for work) a Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC.
The Windows Media Player on that does a great job with MP3s, and the
output jack (mini-headphone type) connects directly to the "CD IN" port
on the front of my car's Realistic (yep, Radio Shack) 80 watt equalizer.


So you could pay a bunch for an in-dash MP3 player, or get an iPAQ, and
get a LOT more capability (Word, Excel, Outlook, Pocket Streets (maps),
GPS capability, etc.) for about $500.

Just a thought...
