If you really want an MP3 player for your car why not get a Phatbox. It's plug and play, comes with any size drive you want 20gb - 140gb and hooks to and works directly from the factory stereo.
You create directories for your music based on album, or mixed music etc.. I have one in my Jetta and will be getting one shortly for the Box. I have about 40 albums and say 5-6 mixed music directories and it's all controled from the stock stereo. Hell the thing even talk to you, it's amazing. It has a hard drive cartridge that you plug into a cradle through USB and you use their software to load music, create directories etc. I have one directory alone with about 500 songs in it so random lasts for ever.

$699 for 40gb plug and play. It bolts right into your cd-changer slot. |
Once again, Newer models are out of luck:
