ipod vs HD
So are most people using the HD for their music or just sticking with the ipod? Is there any advantage to the HD other than its just part of the car? Any difference in the interface or how the songs are listed? I understnand you can't use playlists with the HD?

So what makes it easier than an ipod? Isn't it just some clicks on there as well?

I don't use Itunes, I use Windows Media player with a plug in to manage it, highly recommend it.

Honestly it's been so long since I've run it I don't remember what I disliked about iTunes and really it's more that I prefer WMP11 for managing the iPOD and the sync is fast as possible, the plug in is definately worth it.

I believe the ipod is much better. You can put much higher quality songs on an ipod but are limited to less than CD quality on the HD since the rippind bit rate only has two options. I can definitly hear a differnce between the same CD on ipod opposed to it be ripped to the HD.

I guess I don't really see the usefulness of the CF card reader unless you don't have an ipod. I guess you could get a 16gb CF card and hold lots of songs vs the 9.3gb that the car holds. But if you have a 30gb ipod that you can hold more songs of a higher quality and use playlists, etc, why would you use the HD or CF slot? Other than maybe everything is contained in the car that way. What are the options for recording quality onto the HD?

Go to the Music Box. Scroll left to "Menu". Scroll down to "Music Box Info". Select "Music Box Settings". You will find can pick from to recording rates. This is also where you can change the title text priority. CDDB is a database of CD albums that are stored on the cars HD. I am not sure if this will be updated sometime becuase I wouldn't imagine it would recognize brand new albums unless they knew they were coming out far in advance. If you choose Title Text it will use the info that is actually burned on the disc. If you use itunes 7 or later this option to include this when burning is under references CD burning. Hope this helps.
