My car has no CD player, only a cassette deck. When I go on longish trips I use one of those adapters where I stick one end in the cassette deck and the other end in the headphone output of my Palm T|X, with its beautiful color LCD screen. nicky6;259885 Wrote: > Or, pushing the tuning-button on your radio tuner.

The radio analogy doesn't seem apt, since there are maybe 15-25 FM stations in my area, of which there maybe 5-8 I want to listen to. Memorizing that is nothing like memorizing thousands of tracks on hundreds of CDs. My guess is that most people would want to be able to choose a CD or a track to play. Sure, we memorize the order of tracks on a CD, but how many people can recite the album titles of all their CDs in alphabetical order? Sure, you could do what you're suggesting, but I really doubt many people would plunk down that kind of money for something that gave them so little control over their selections, leaving them with the choice of random tracks or some subset of their library in a pre-programmed playlist. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42229 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
