I wish there existed an in-dash mp3 player/radio than takes CF cards. Just
think, no moving parts. All I can find are portable mp3 players that can be
plugged into an aux input. But then you have more stuff floating around.

CF cards are getting cheap...I just got a 1 gigabyte card for my camera at
Sam's Club for something like $75 US...

They exist, the problem is certain entities are fighting to keep them
out of the US market. Same groups that fought against MP3 players,
Mini disc, DAT, Cassette, etc. Eventually they will loose.

What I want is a WiFi enabled car system that can download new MP3s
from my home server. Or even from satellite radio. They are getting
there but for now if you want one you have to roll your own.
