The IPOD. Worth it as an alternative?

Good posts in this thread.

For those who choose or are able to use option #1, the aux. input method, you do have more control, in that you can select music via song title, album, artist, or genre. You also have control over your playlists, and may create your own smart playlists based on these or other criteria, such as the rating you may have assigned to a group of songs (*, **, ***, etc.). Nothing is displayed in the MID, however.

My iPod setup.

I am still pissed that the random mode on the CD player gets cancelled whenever you turn off the car. It defaults back to sequential play. I hate it. Anyone know of a fix?

Put a yellow sticky on your radio and remind yourself to press RND button.
