My mom and my sister both have iPods. Both have more software problems than the rest of the technological universe combined. All my friends piss and whine about how shitty their iPods are.
I just got this little trinket that hooks my Zen micro up to my alpine head unit. 100 dollars for that POS thing that hooks the ipod up to the head unit?!?! forget about it!
my friends use their mp3 players with a radio transmitter when they drive around. They work pretty well actually.
But my '92 Subaru Legacy has an AUX IN jack right under the radio dial which makes it super easy to hook up my mp3 player and car stereo rock:
my friend also has one of these - they are a very nice investment if you dont have a aux in jack at the front of the stereo. Even the cheaper ones seem to be good.
