you can record in 192kbs and store them but you will just have fewer tunes. Still worth considering.

Arrrrrr is that what it looks like ajg
graham like I said in the first place get your self out and about and have a look and a listen work a budget out and shop around your probs with your reception and disk jumping are an easy fix and there are plenty of great little units out there at the end of the day its what your happy with that matters not what me or any one else suggests mate

Davidud suggested this web page

That looks ideal and at a good price.£179.95

Thoughts please

it seems spot on for what you want graham even better for £99 check out http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/312296/art/kenwood/cd-mp3-usb-car-radio-kdc.html

Mule

The £179.95 is with the Hard Drive included.

Kenwood are a good make? or at least they were

yea I no was suggesting maybe a starter block etc thought you might want to add on as you go etc just an option of course, yea Kenwood always maintained decent sound quality on there head units with decent gadgets at an affordable price

Ok Ive now got it down to 3

1/JVC

I presume any SD Card will do as you can get 2mb and 4mb now.

2/ Sony

Not sure about recordong though. 200 tracks at 128Kbps ??

3/ Kenwood

Just not sure were I would put Hard Drive

Opinions please

Just a thought - my understanding is that in a few years time FM will become a thing of the past and Digital radio will be all that is available (like the TV signal) - I hope thats right coz otherwise i am expecting a lot of messages correcting me!

you can get a 1gb sd card from www.ebuyer.co.uk for about £11 delivered, cheap as chips!
probably get them cheaper still imported from far east from ebay...

AJG. I don't know what a bloody HU is

Told you I'm crap when it comes to stereos. Need everything spelt out for me

I did warn you

HU = Head Unit i.e. the Clarion standard centre consol located Radio Cassette

sorry, i have a really bad habit of shortening sentences and words, using slang...

I wanted something to store my music on a couple of years ago in my Alfa GTA. I had the Bose sound system but didn't want to have 100 CDs in the car. In the end I bought an IPod and dension ICE link which replaced the CD Autochanger. The sound was superb. Now I've got my Coupe I got the ICE-Link FM unit. Its not quite as good as the autochanger link but still pretty good. Certainly good enough for the car - lets face it there's a lot of background noise so you won't notice the difference on the move. Got my last one for £25 on ebay. Dension in the US also do a stereo with a built in hard disk which looks interesting but a bit pricey.
