Stereo Jack
 |
US $2.99
I've had my Sony car stereo for 2 years now, and I love it! When I first got it, I mostly listened to CDs, but when I finally got around to fiddling with the usb port, that's when it became the best thing since sliced bread. The stereo can translate mp3, wma, acc, and atrac (whatever that is).
What I do though is to load a usb stick or 3, with my favorite songs and put the mode on shuffle. Since I don't mostly listed to entire albums at a time, I pick and choose the songs that I like and then let the machine pick them out randomly to play.
One of the great things about the usb stick is that I don't get skips when going down dirt or bumpy roads. While the cd skip problem has been improved upon, I don't have to suffer through gaps at all with my usb stick.
It also has an aux in jack that I never use, and claims to be Sat ready, which I occasionally think about getting, but haven't yet.
The controls are laid out well and whenever a crappy song comes up or if I'm not in the mood to listen 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 every 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.
Sometimes if I'm really in a one song mood, I'll just let it shuffle until I find a song I want to repeat, and then hit the repeat button a few times until it goes to repeat song. Then I just cruise along!
One annoying thing is that the volume 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 slowly turn the volume down, and then another pain to slowly turn the volume back up when I'm done with the call. I prefer the old way with a potentiometer where the stupid thing does what I want it to do and doesn't try to prevent me from going too loud too fast.
I was thinking there might be a mute button for just such an occasion, but I don't see one and if I have to read a friggin manual to mute a radio, it's a bad design anyhow. There is an OFF button, but then you have to hit source to make it start back up. There is also a pause button, but it's one of the dual function radio presets and isn't in a great location either.
Such is life.
