An interesting upgrade for your vanagon � a wireless 20 gb MP3 stereo.
I started looking at these...maybe hmm... 3 minutes after I finished
installing
The 6 disc changer under the sink. {which I never bother to swap during
the summer...}
I do not believe it is compatible with Macs however :O(
Description below:
Your MP3 collection...on wheels? It�s more than just a beautiful dream.
Simply install dis herre DMP1 Mobile Media Jukebox wherever you�d put a car
CD changer, and wirelessly load it up with up to 20GB of music from your PC.
Thanks to the auto sync feature, it can sit out in your garage and fetch the
content you want while you�re snug in bed, like a faithful puppy without the
mess. You�ll roll off to work every morning armed with a fresh batch of
tunes, news, audiobooks, whatever � enough to keep you relaxed even through
the Ventura Freeway�s nastiest traffic snarls. In a pinch, you can use the
USB-equipped removable HDD (20 gigs, remember?) to shuttle data between home
and work, or to grab your own copies of a friend�s killer collection of
audio files (hey, what the recording industry�s lawyers don�t know won�t
hurt you).
The butt-simple interface has been tested on chimpanzees to ensure ease of
use (note: this claim is not endorsed by reality). And it�s crafted of
durable heat-resistant plastic, so on summer days you won�t find a glob of
grey goo where your DMP1 used to be.
The included USB-to-WiFi internet adapter is the mortar that holds the
House of OmniFi together, the straw that stirs the OmniFi drink. Sure, you
can run Cat-5 cable out to your garage � and maybe you already have. But the
rest of us can use of the included DWL-121 WiFi Adapter for your car, made
for Omnifi by D-Link.
Finally, we�ve thrown in some SimpleCenter software to quickly and reliably
rip tracks from CD to MP3, and uncannily sniff out your media and label it
with all the relevant discographical info. All told, that�s a car player, a
wireless adapter, and you, burning up the highway with your stash of
completely legitmate MP3s. Rock sensibly!
