Looking for an MP3 player for my recently acquired truck I went to the
local
electronics store which shall remain nameless. I asked the the car stereo
guy
(just last week he was working the television department) about MP3
players and
he showed me a few and told me all this riff raff and suggested that I
would be
happier with XM radio. I was like WTF, i outta just stick with the stock
AM/FM
that's in there right now. Not much difference between XM and FM you know,
they even had a sample in the showroom and you can hear the compression
artyfacts.

Does any of you own an car MP3 player?

Who makes it?
How much did it cost?
How well does it play MP3's?
How does the FM tuner come in?


Alpine 98 series. I have the 9815. It was $350 ( $499 MSRP ). It can play
48KHz 320Kbps MP3's max which is near CD quality. ( if someone tells you
128K is, smack them ). FM tuner works great.
