This is slightly different than being a no-hard-disk CDR-only player. _________________________ Tony Fabris

jane enthusiast Registered: 10/10/2000 Posts: 350 Loc: Copenhagen SW, Denmark	That would of course be the normal operation mode for the "Mark III". But I suppose it could also play directly... and, by the way, the web page about the Fiat is not detailed enough to answer this question. (But the "My Car" part of it convinced me....)

Then you can remove the disc and feed another or just play from HD and not worry about skipping or the CD trying to spin while driving. I heard those CD-R mp3 players skip like crazy. _________________________ Brad B.
