I think memory and head unit technology is about to fix this problem for us. I've been using an iRiver 40GB mp3 player in my car for years. It's quite handy with a remote that I've stuck to my dashboard with velcro. The device itself lives permanently in my glove compartment. An SD card that holds 16GB can be bought for a little over 100 EURO's these days. Once these things start hitting 64GB they're becoming big enough to store my collection (converting FLACs to MP3). Now we just have to wait for head units with SD slots to become common place. I don't need much in the way of user interface. Just display track title and artist, allow me to skip songs and toggle between shuffle and straight play is enough for me. It's all I do with my iRiver.
