But you said yourself you get "well over 100" songs per CD, so that's less
than 20 CDs ... if you use MP3 format on the CDs.  Seems like a small price
to pay to avoid having cords draped around, and an expensive piece of
electronics laying loose to fall out the door (or get stolen).

There's also something to be said for having the controls, and display,
hard-mounted in the dash, IMO.

Randall - so unimpressed I gave away my iPod.
