I guess I have more to say.
I'm quite close to buying an ipod. But I don't know that I really want to or which one to buy, 4gig? 6gig? 20gig? more? Because I then would have to get the thing for my Car Stereo to let me control and play the Ipod through my deck. Which at minimum would be another $100 for the box that lets that happen from there it just gets worse, say I want to keep my CD/MP3 Changer the box that lets me do both cost another $150 and provides more inputs that I wont be using. Then because I'm too lazy to bother with my own installation and don't know how to get my deck out with out the use of a crowbar or pry tool of somekind and damaging the goods in the process. So the total could get quite high real quick like.
I'm also thinking about building another old project Idea. But I'm not quite sure as it would be more expensive and involved than others so far. Big and potentaly heavy too... Maybe a modified version of it. It involves solar cells and toys.
Tomorrow is back to work. I think I forgot some of my passwords.
Posted by Ben at March 01, 2005 04:56 PMokay, wht do you need an Ipod? Your deck does the same thing it does but with CDs. I'm gonna have to say that's stupid gagetboy. Why don't you buy a pre-modded xbox instead?
Posted by: Nathan on March 1, 2005 06:15 PMbut I won't have to deal with CD's. Depending on the Ipod I get I could pack all my CDs with me at any given time (I only have about 10gigs of CDs)..
but I should get my xbox going... or a xbox going...
Posted by: ben on March 1, 2005 07:25 PMdoes it have to be an ipod? they are a bit overpriced. there are a few mp3 players that match its quality. theyre just not as "cute"
Posted by: dusty on March 2, 2005 03:26 PMto be controlled by the head unit yes it has to be an ipod.
most mp3 players are far less flexible/accessable than an ipod. the port on the ipod allows for name/file access and control. others you might get to advance tracks from the Head unit... I could use a simple Aux in adatper and use it to input anyhting that does linelevel out but that isn't near as cool.
