Regalma1, While I agree with many of the comments that a lossless format is probably overkill for a car, I also know that if you already have several thousands of songs in a lossless format such as FLAC, then it is quite time consuming to convert them to a lossy format. Perhaps this will work for you - it supports FLAC out of the box, and individual cartridges are available up to 120GB, so you will need only 2. http://www.phatnoise.com/products/digitalmediaplayers/index.aspx -- Nikhil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nikhil's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=993 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29925 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
