Leave now, go to your nearest car audio dealer, and buy the Aiwa CDC-MP3.

I just had one of these CD players installed in my car today, and it is aduio bliss.

why do I say this? one word… MP3

Thats right, Aiwa makes a car CD player that has the usual radio stuff, reads CD’s, and reads CD-R’s and RW’s that have wav files AND MP3 files burned to it.

the Aiwa reads folders, so you can subdivide your music instead of having 200 songs in a row.

It sounds great, and comes with a stearing wheel remote.

the player costs $300, and the only other car mp3 player on the market is made by kenwood and comes in at an expensive $600-$700

have I said yet it plays MP3’s off of a CD? were talking 10 hours of music here.

so, stop reading and start buying. This CD player is where it’s at.
