try CDex for the cd ripping to MP3. It is pretty intuitive, and free.

more info on it: CDex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I personally never got an ipod because I've been working at home for the last few years and never had a situation for it (ie. 45 min train rides into the city). I guess if I needed a way to store thousands of songs to play in the car then I'd get it, but I don't have that much music either. If you do, that's probably the best way.

sunglasses go in the cup holder
spare change in the ashtray
registration documents are copies, I keep the originals in a safe place (this is actually illegal in Belgium, but I'd rather risk a small fine - if you should happen to fall on a cop that didn't get laid the night before, otherwise you have 24h to show the original documents in a police station of your choice...- than give the crooks that would steal my car the benefit of getting the registration as well

Yes it has the name on it but anyone can have it. I was once stopped in my wife's car about 300 miles from home - I gave them her registration but they did nothing to verify I knew her or had her permission (which they usually don't check of course)... but I could've been her neighbor and stole it. They verified there were no outstanding issues with the vehicle, but again it could've just not been reported yet.

What I'm saying is not having a registration to begin with may raise more red flags so that's good in my eyes. Can't leave the decision to check everything to the cops.

I use a cheapo large travel wallet to keep registration, insurance cards, BMW service advisor business card, insurance agent card, note pad and pen.

Use a zip lock baggie for change.

Ipod for my 4,000+ songs I listen too every day. Well, 4,180 now that I added Xmas music.

My wife's sunglasses are usually stored wherever they land and she still can't find them.

Hand exercise spring handles in driver's door pocket to use to keep me awake (sunflower seeds are actually the best thing to keep you awake - keeps your mouth moving - how do you think your wife stays awake so well?).
