Just forget about single cd's, 6 pack cd's or mp3's player 
(iPod/Zune/etc) integration. (I own a 6 pack cd player on my Mazda6 and 
before that a mp3 cd player on Mazda3)

The solution: flash card audio stereo.

*Pros*
  - It's fast
  - It's smaller
  - It's a flash drive
  - 8 GB's costs 100€ - that's a lot of mp3's
  - Almost every computer has some kind of flash card reader (SD,MMC,etc)
*Cons*
  - It's a flash card and not even macbooks have flash readers built in 
(ahaha)
  - Has a smaller lifetime than the disks (HDD) inside mp3's players

But, typically flash drives (and therefor SSD) have a data lifetime on 
the order of 10 years before degradation. That's too much for most of 
us. My HDD died at the age or 5.
