So, what do you do with your mp3 files while you're driving? How do you play them in the car? There are several options open to you. Let's explore some...
If you use an ipod, you can take advantage of ipod car integration kits. They come in various shapes, give different levels of audio output and also come at price ranges that accomodate everyone.
There are cassette adapters, FM transmitters/modulators and other specialized high level ipod car integration kits.
For your ipod's safety and to ensure you are not distracted while driving, there are ipod car mounts and holders. This feature is often incorporated into some of the higher end ipod car integration kits.
The other solution for your mp3 needs are CD players that can play mp3 files. With these types of CD players you can carry 10 hours worth of music on just a disc.
Now when considering CD players, there are a special breed -- CD changers -- that can hold multiple discs at a time. These totally remove shuffling around for the next disc to insert. If you get one with mp3 capability, you can easily load up to 60 hours of music.
Still on getting another unit to help you play your mp3 files in your car...
There are digital CD receivers that have a USB port and flash memory. Through the USB, you can upload your mp3 files. And you have up to 1GB flash memory so you can store a huge number of files.
