I get way to many phone calls, emails, and text messages to have an iPhone connected to my car stereo and besides its only 8GB of music. I don't own an iPod other then what is built into my iPhone. I am not a big fan of Internet Radio, Rhapsody or Pandora. I want to build a playlist and listen to what I want to for what I am doing or where I am going. So I don't think you are missing anything, just have a different need/application. Also, I tried three different ways to hook up an iPhone to a car stereo and none of them was able to get around the digital bursting coming over the radio every time an email or message came in, or a tower switch happened. Kind of messes up the enjoyment of Miles Davis to hear barbarbarp barbarp bar barpbarp barrrrburrrrr barp in the middle of a trumpet solo! Only song I can think of that it might be expectable is Barbara Ann. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: SB3, GFR-700HD, Thiel 2.3, Second Boom Home Office: SB3, NAD C370, two VSM-1 Home Gym: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, Thiel PowerPoint 1.2 House Portable: SB3, Audioengine A5 Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB3, ToughBook ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65695 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
