Johnny does make a good point. Napster will let you
burn an entire album to CD for $9.95, which is far
cheaper then you would ever pay in a record store
for CD. Of course, even if you had Windows
emulation, you could still not burn CDs on a Mac. All
the CD burners are made for Windows-based
computers.
How do you get your Ipod to play through your
car's speakers without a cassette player. You would
need a special $30 tape with an earphone jack sticking
out of it, to be able to play tunes on your Ipod, or any
****table music device, through your car stereo.
There is the SoundFeeder, which you can play
through the radio, but you would have to fiddle with
the frequency every few miles, since the radio dial is
so crowded now.
