That's too bad....it would be nice to be able to name the tracks and
albums on your normal pressed CDs. Oh well, we have means of bypassing
that through the wonders of technology.

I replaced the factory head unit with an aftermarket unit equipped with
a Secure Digital (SD) card slot (a thumb-sized card). A 1-Gb card at
Wal-Mart holds 255 MP3's or WMA's and the display reads off the title
and artist as the song plays. None of the songs has ID3 tags, just the
name of the song and the artist to identify the track, and the head
unit picks up that info and displays it.

The head unit I bought is a Virtual Reality Sound Labs VRCD400-SDU head
unit from Wal-Mart, $79.87 plus tax. In addition to the SD card slot,
the unit has a front-panel USB port (for keyring memory thingies) and
an AUX input for i-Pods or other devices. On the back are RCA outputs
1000-mV and subwoofer outputs (amp req'd for subwoofer).

And, yeah, I know, it only plays one CD at a time, but with an SD card
filled with up to 285 tracks, who needs the CD player anyway, not to
mention the SD card doesn't "skip"!
