Hi,

I was just wondering here if anyone could tell me how mp3 players for cars work. I "heard" a story about someone who had one that could store 1200 songs or something. I went to a "Car Audio" shop in Korea. They said they have mp3 players that read mp3s off CD-ROMs (not that expensive) and there are mp3 players that read the mp3s off a USB memory stick (about 350 000 won)

Is there no such thing as an mp3 player that actually stores the mp3s?

You can by an in-car adaptor that allows you to play your MP3 through the car's stereo. I have one, its called a Car Pack. I just put the cassette into the player and off I go.

my last car (in korea) had a CD player that recognised mp3s and wmas ... i'd load up a few hundred mp3s on a CD and it'd play them.

i'm sure they're not that expensive.

ipods also have a wireless receiver that allows you to pick them up via a standard FM radio. or you could go the 'cassette' option as an adaptor.

personally, i'd go the CD/mp3 player ...

My car - a Scion XB, has a port where the MP3 player plugs in via a cable. For a genuine IPOD you can control the player with the radio/cd but for a non-ipod you have to use the MP3 player to control the functions. many newer cars have this port available.

I like my setup - I ran off to Lottemart and picked up an adapter for my mp3 player that doesn't even need a cassette player - it links to a radio frequency (approx 20,000 won). I used to have the cassette kind till it fried the player. anyway both lottemart and emart have them in with the car toys.
