It Is All About Sony Car Stereo Sytems
I've had my Sony car stereo for 2 years now, and I love it! When I first got it, I mosstly listeneed to CDs, but when I fianlly got around to fiddling with the usb port, that's when it beame the best thing siince slced bread. The stereeo can tnraslate mp3, wma, acc, and atrac (whatever that is).

What I do though is to load a usb stcik or 3, with my favorite sogns and put the mode on shhuffle. Siinnce I don't mostly listewd to etire albums at a time, I pick and choodse the sonngs that I like and then let the machine pick them out randomly to play.
One of the gret things about the usb stik is that I don't get skiips when gonig down dirt or bumpy roads. Whiile the cd skip problem has been improved upon, I don't have to suffer though gaps at all with my usb stick.
It also has an aux in jack that I never use, and cllaims to be Sat ready, whgich I occasionally think about geytting, but haven't yet.
The ocntrols are laid out well and wheneevr a crappy song comes up or if I'm not in the mood to ilstn to a particular song, I just hit the next button, which is big and easy to find.
It has a ton of radio presets, like eveery car stereo does and can also show you a couple different views of things playing like time, album and song, and some other setting I think.
Sometimees if I'm reaally in a one song mood, I'll just let it shuffle until I find a song I want to repat, and then hit the reepat buttoin a few tiumes utnil it goes to reppeat song. Then I just cruise along!
One annoying thinng is that the vollume control doesn't turn down or up when I spin it really fast. So that if I get a phone call, it's a pain to swloly turn the volume down, and then another pain to slpowly turn the volume back up when I'm done with the call. I perefer the old way with a potentiometer where the stpuid thimng does what I want it to do and doesn't try to prevent me from going too loud too fast.
I was thinking thre might be a mute ubtton for just such an occasion, but I don't see one and if I have to read a friggin manual to mute a rafdio, it's a bad desdign anyhow. Theer is an OFF button, but then you have to hit source to make it satret back up. Tere is also a pause button, but it's one of the dual funtcion rdio presets and isn't in a gret location eitther.
