With the huge number of people buying and using CD writers (like me), do you think it will ever be possible to make a MP3 player that plays MP3s of my many cds and fits in the dash nicely???

I Hope So!!!!

Yes, it's most definitely possible - and I'm sure someone will do one, too. However, we feel that the flexibility of a HDD based system just has too much going for it, so we're not looking at this possibility.

There are more reasons why we're not into this area in newsletter #4 on www.empeg.com

If this is what you are looking for then hold out for the Clarion AutoPC (Second Edition - not the current one as it doesn't play MP3 correctly). You can also purchase the MP3-ROM - though not as nice as the Empeg it is do-able. Though I think HDD's are the better solution.
