This is one of the coolest and most practical things I think I've ever seen... and man have I got plans for this baby. I think we can generally agree that MP3 quality sound is just fine... and it's high time this technology went mainstream. Now it's a car audio player. You don't need to spend a lot on this people... 80 gigs is nice, but they're giving away 10 gig drives for free these days. I went to all the trouble of archiving my CD collection in MP3 format @ 256 kbps. This is slightly larger then normal, but I like keeping my sound quality a little higher. Now if anyone out there.. even you DJs, can think of a ten gig playlist - even at my sample rate... your better then most. Fact is, 10 gigs will let you play music until the end of time. So there you have your drive, just enough ram to do the job, and a neat little DC adapter for your car (all things aquired at second hand legacy system prices)... what do you have? One of the most secure and convienient car audio players in existance. Who's gonna gyank some wierd ass assembly of circuit cards? Probably not a lot of crimminals are going to have the capacity to even realize what thier stealing... that's to say if they even find where you mount it. A little LCD could easily be run to your dash for management and playback of files... wow... I'm just too excited. You naysayers can get bent. There isen't a CD changer over 10 disks being sold for less then 100 bucks. Add in the features that are a software program away... not happenin' for less then the cost of this do-it-youself MP3 setup. I havent EVEN talked about the P I M P factor. You know women are all about geeks who build unique audio decoders. Get PUMPED! This bad boy has potential.

Has anyone here ever tasted alien fish? Why hasn't this been addressed?! I'm thinking chicken. Could they be a source of protine for colonists?
