Can I buy a player to play MP3 in my Car?
Check out http://www.empeg.com/ – they have a unit, but it seems to be hard-disk based, and I’m not quite clear how you’re expected to get your MP3 files into the unit – it has a USB port, so maybe you take it out of your car and transfer from your PC, or take your laptop to your car. I would have thought it would make more sense to use a CD ROM drive to read data CDs with MP3 files on them, but I haven’t seen a car unit like that advertised, although Pine (www.pineusa.com) have a «Discman» type unit coming out «soon» that plays data CDs full of MP3 files as well as regular audio CDs. There’s another company that has similar units, a stereo component and a portable, also «coming soon» – check out Vertical Horizons at www.evhi.com. And here’s yet another one: www.mambox.com/.
There are also a bunch of other units summarized and reviewed at – a lot of them look rather «home-built» though, and I’ve never heard directly from anyone who has actually used any of them.
