The Volvo issue 6-disc changer is made by Alpine. In fact many of the head units of the 850 are made by Alpine. Just open up the cassette deck door, and look inside. You should be able to see a golden chip that has Alpine printed upside down on it.

Alpine has this exact model badged as an Alpine 6-disc. They also have a high end model that has a digital output. The price difference is about $250.

"Having a PIII computer in the car to play MP3 files gives unlimited play time but this handy little unit is much more portable and the battery life is EXCELLENT!"

Battery life?! I thought you were talking about the mp3 in dash players that use memory cards. How do you wire the output from the mp3 player to the sound system?

64kbps?! THAT'S HORRIBLE SOUND QUALITY!!! I never use anything less then 128kbps. For those that don't know what kbps stands for, it is kilobytes per second. Basically the higher the kbps, the better the sound quality.

In my entire mp3 collection, the lowest kbps I will download is 128, the highest I have are usually in 160 or even 192.
