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 http://www.mp3car.com/tethered.html - a lot of them look rather "home-built" though, and I've never heard directly from anyone who has actually used any of them.
