MP3 Player

[Nic]

I've been looking around the web for car MP3 players, I want a system that can store and play mp3 files (not a head unit that plays mp3 files on a disc.) Found these systems, just wondered if anyone has any views, knowledge, experience or if there are any other products available?

I've got a Neo Car Jukebox and it's great. I've almost ripped all of my CDs, so I've got about 4000 tracks on it.

When I get home I just pull out the unit and stick it into the USB bay connected to my hi-fi, so I never use my CDs now.

I don't know anything about the others, but I would recommend this one. My only gripes are

1 - the buttons are quite small and a bit fiddly at times

2 - the random mode (which I usually have it on) is not really random, it'll play the same tune 3 times in a journey

As you can see they are pretty trivial complaints :p
