Vorbis - Feb 2006 - Does anyone know of any car Ogg-Vorbis players?

Hello all,

There are quite a few of my friends that are looking for new stereos for
their cars. They have a large proportion of their music in Ogg-Vorbis
format and are having no luck finding anything that is able to support
the files.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

There are a couple of car players lists on the hardware support lists:

Most of them seem to be based on the PhatBox (phatnoise.com).

You can also get one with an aux input for handheld players and use one 
of those.

HTH,
 -r

Many/most car stereos, even factory radios, have adapters that aren't 
very expensive that can be connected to them to allow aux inputs.  I use 
my Treo 600 in my car this way.  It also doubles as a hands-free phone 
system as well.  If you have any questions on a setup like this feel 
free to drop me a line.

Scions come with aux in. It sounds a lot better than
adapters. Stereo shops will install them. I was told
it would run about $200 for installation, but I saw
some instructions somewhere, I think Hydrogenaudio,
that said it was a simple inexpensive job.
