Hi all, Looking into a portable MP3 player, for walking the dog and connecting to my car stereo. My wife has the ipod mini with the griffin italk FM add on, works well, however before I get one I want to look at whats out there and what others recommend. I like the look the of the iRiver H10, however have read some software bugs with it... I have all my music in MP3, on XP using windows media player 10... Thanks in advance
I use my ipod everywhere. At home (connected to Stereo), at work (headphones) and in the car (hard wired in, as i found the iTrip was rubbish quality). I couldnt live without it now ! I bought the 4g 40Gb version. This is the only mp3 player I have owned, so cant comment on anything else. Mark
The hardwire solution depends on what make/model car you have. Mine is a Laguna, and cost me £60 job done. What do you drive ?
msdm001, Basically you buy a little box that converts your CD-Auto changer socket on your head unit, into an AUX in device. Then you plug in a simple 2phono to headphone jack converter cable (from Maplin for about £3) and plug your ipod in. If you have your ipod in your car, you dont need a CD-Autochanger, so no worries at all ! The benefits are that the sound is 100% better than an FM modulator (like the iTrip) and you can feed the cable into a glove box, or arm rest (like I did) to hide your ipod away from those pesky chavs when you leave your car for 5mins to pay for your petrol !

I've got a 4th gen ipod for everything, loads of storage capacity for all my music. I also had the itrip fm transmitter but for long road journeys you are constantly retuning it and it London there is barely a free frequency. I ended up buying a new stereo in the Jan sales with aux in and am much happier with this solution.
