MP3 CD players make for a great option to include in car stereos. They are exactly what it says on the tin: Stereo systems that play CDs full of MP3s. MP3 CD players are just one of the many audio options that a car can come equipped with. Most cars come directly from the manufacturer equipped with many car stereo options. Many car dealers offer a variety of options in terms of equipping your car with audio. These can sometimes be quite a bit better than the dismal equipment car manufacturers have a reputation for including. Some car manufacturers rely on reputable manufacturers of car audio components such as Alpine or Infinity. Many also include satellite radio as standard equipment on their factory car stereos. Still, the best stuff is only found on the best, most expensive cars.
MP3 CD players are part of what is known as the head unit. It is the control center of a tape-oriented car stereo system. It’s the brains and connects to the muscle, which consists of amplifiers and loudspeakers. Many people refer to the unit as the deck, receiver or CD player. This term indicates what type of input you would expect to use the head unit with.
MP3 CDs are a great way to listen to tons of music in the car. However, car stereos can sound surprisingly good. Given that, you may want to consider what options you include in your car stereo. Many people equip their cars to work with Apple’s iPod portable audio players. You will want your car stereo to work with all standard formats, such as CD and MP3, but also work with high-resolution audio formats, like DVD Audio and Sony’s SACD. Sony have established SACD as a contender and started a format war. They are the only corporation on Earth that can do that; they own half the music on earth and can manufacture players too. Sony started a format war simply by only allowing their vast music catalogue to be released on SACD, never on DVD Audio.
Some people download music and spoken work in MP3 format from the Internet. They typically do this using either torrent sharing peer-to-peer systems or old, obscure parts of the Internet like Usenet. However, this is illegal and immoral. There are many ways to legally buy MP3 files, including Apple’s iTunes, BuyMusic, Yahoo! Music, Napster, Rhapsody, and conventional retailers like Best Buy and Wal-Mart. EMI and other record companies are starting to allow users to download music without copy protection from iTunes, Amazon and other online stores. Since 2007, EMI and other record companies have allowed portions of their music catalogs to be downloaded without copy protection from iTunes, Amazon and other online stores. Those unprotected songs enable consumers to share with anyone they like, whether they have iPods or players from other brands. Users may also choose to rent content rather than own it from sites like Napster and Rhapsody, for a flat fee.
