Topic: Car stereo capable of USB flac playback?

[cerberanke]

Well it's not that I would feel any difference between 320kbps (or probably even 192kbs) mp3 and flac in my car. The problem is that I have some of my music in flac and I am usually to lazy to bother with convertion If putting flac no iPhone is overkill, then I would probably prefer to make o conversion. Anyway, thanks for a link!

Alpine's got a great interface that plugs into the bottom USB port on the Ipods. That means better sound (not using the crappy 3.5mm jack), provides power to the Ipod, and control of the Ipod is handled by the Alpine. I made a little hole in my car's glove compartment and fed the control wire to the Alpine. This keeps the Ipod out of sight and I control the Ipod via the Alpine's remote. I love it.

Ken wood made the "music keg" several years ago. It was kind of like a cd changer, but a hard drive that sat In your trunk, and it played FLAC files.  They stopped making it to my knowledge, but you might find one on eBay?

i have one of these in my jetta , branded as 'phatbox', was a dealer option

hackable up to at least 160gb
