Purchased a generic PCMCIA SD Memory Card reader from eBay (~$20) and used it with an 8GB Micro SD (w/ SD Adapter) I bought from Amazon.com last year (~$20).

I copied a bunch of albums over and everything is working perfectly.

Gotta love some Old School rap.


Rob Bass anyone?


A simple and affordable way to get MP3s into the car . . .

Thanks

I think I'll order this later tonight or tomorrow. Just out of curiosity how long did the shipping from Hong Kong take?

Less than 10-days.

i bought the same adapter from the same seller 6 months ago.

i use it on a few 16gb SD cards.

still works great!

I think the pcmcia device is great but I copied all my mp3 files with folders onto dvd disks and have all my music in the cd changer.

Also everytime i need to add music i just copy the new music onto a new disk and discard the older one.

i now only use my pcmcia slot for music that needs to be added to dvd and once this is done the pcmcia slot is free.

i did add music to my hard drive but it only accepts .wav files and not mp3 files and does take several minutes to transfer to hard drive.

Isn't USB also an option if you have PCMCIA?

I've use a flash drive from day 1 and you don't even need to have anything fancy. I have a 32GB one that I got off eBay for $25US shipped and you can get a 64GB one for less than $30 shipped now!

16-32 gb is probably the max you should go.. due to the car's file system limit of 4,000 songs.

I ordered mine here, fast shipping, great prices and good selection.

Also, I've never been able to use more than about 10 GB of a flash card, so I would stick to 8GB cards.
