Well, up until now, I've never really felt the need or desire to get one, but a few days ago I realized how much of a pain it is to burn new CDs for my car whenever I get a new song I like.
To that end, I've decided to go ahead and purchase an MP3 player.
I have a few questions though:
First of all, how easily could I connect the iPod to the car's stereo? Currently I have a casette player and a CD changer (in the trunk) hooked up with no aux input. I know iPods can transmit via FM, but I'm not too fond of FM sound quality (can't stand the radio station sometimes), are there any other solutions without completely revamping my car audio system?
Second, I'm looking at the 30GB iPod Video. Although my music collection is small (all of it will fit on a 2GB Nano), I would like to use the iPod to store and watch all of my downloaded anime. Also, I believe you are able to hook up the iPod video via S-video to a TV (big plus in my book). Are there any quality issues with video playback (framerate, etc)?
Finally, Am I forced to use iTunes?
Can you guys recommend any sites or forums I should look into?
Thanks a lot.
