With the advent of cheap CD-RW drives, CD-Rs and (hopefully) cheap in-dash car MP3 players, I don’t see why this wouldn’t happen.

Hmmm, my point wasn’t that you wouldn’t see it, but that it wouldn’t enormously widespread. Because it’s a pain in the behind to digitize all that content and get it out to the car. Ripping a bunch of CDs is like watching paint dry. If some more convenient and almost-as-cheap way to do this were offered from the content providers, the CD->MP3->car stuff will become obviated. Too early to tell, though.

I actually agree with Psychogumby here - kinda. It’s not that car stackers will die, they’re evolving.

Sony already sells a MP3-CD car stacker, which is easily connectable to their MP3-CD Head Unit, all in all a very nice system.

And Squeeqe, it dosen’t take that long to burn a new disk - I can do it from start to finish in 20 mins.

(that’s copying the old disks to computer - translating to MP3 - copying to new disk) **

dang it - preview, prewiew, preview
