I was up in Wisconsin visiting my sister this weekend. Drove 500 miles up yesterday, and 500 back today. On the way back, my total average speed for the trip was about 66 mph. That's pretty good; 50 is respectable, 55 is pretty good, and I generally shoot for 60.
I did listen to music some both legs of the trip. I'm dorkily proud that my music has never touched a Windows system. I'm sure there are much better ways of doing this, but I tried this out , and it seems to work.
Bottom Right: My PDA, a PalmOne Zire 31. I have the RealOne mp3 player installed on it. It has a SD slot.
Bottom Center: 128 MB "Secure Digital" media card. The music has to reside on an expansion card for RealOne, not the internal memory. Go figure.
Bottom Left: USB reader for Memory Sticks and SD Media.
Top Right: plugs into the headset jack in the PDA and puts the sound on the casette player in the car.
Top Center: USB power supply that plugs into the lighter jack.
Top Left: plugs the PDA into the above power supply.
I pulled the music off the CDs on my laptop, encoded the .mp3s there, and then put the music on the SD card using the USB reader. I only have 2 CD's worth; with some songs not used, that fills up about half the card. That's little enough that I don't want to listen to it continuously.
