Many thanks for the answer Doug - I have a Sandisk Sansa that I have
rockboxed and play FLAC files through my head unit.  But I find I don't
listen to things spontaneously - I actively choose before I set off on a
trip and then that's it. I'd love a Touch screen head unit, within easy
reach and with a big-enough screen for the graphics to be easy enough to
navigate through to make the whole business an awful lot easier.

Best Wishes
David
