ShowSStopper, you can (I think) still buy portable CD players that would plug into the aux input jack in the console. That way, you could have your CD's AND have a far cooler car than if you bought anything else.

I change out the CD that're in my decks (several vehicles) about once a year, as they are encoded in MP3 and hold around 140 songs of mixed bit rate encoding. Play them on random and it takes a while to get tired of them or hear a repeat.

Back when I was still downloading music from the internet and the concept was new to me, I was grabbing everything in sight at 128 kb/s. I'm glad I got the music when I did, but if I had it to do all over again, I'd shoot for substantially higher sampling. 192 minimum; 320 sounds pretty darn good, it just wasn't ever available on the sites I was on.
