I use an FM transmitter to listen to Pandora radio as well as the music I've stored on my phone. Works great on long trips so you don't have to find a new station every hour.

You still can't beat a CD for sound quality. I think there is some way to download to an Ipod that has CD quality but I've not done it.

I prefer a CD changer myself now that they quit making 8 tracks

I got it from Amazon 2 or 3 years ago. I think I paid around $69.00. At the time CNET rated it very high. Not sure what is currently available.

Be careful! Everyone in the car can hear the conversations. One day my ex called fussing about our son. He was riding in the pasenger seat and she didn't realize he heard everthing she said loud and clear. I never told her any different.

I used one of the adapter thingys for a couple of week when my Blose blew up for the third time. Now I have a modern radio in it with all the bells and whistles - GPS NAV, HD tuner, DVD player, back up camera, and ADSP2 bluetooth. It let's me stream from my Iphone directly into the stereo with no wire. Just ditch the 20+ year old Blose and be done with it and you won't look back.
