I have notice that some car raios have USB ports what I would like to know is if I insert a memory stick loaded with MP3 files will the radio play these files(music)----thanks for any info----

Of course they do, I just installed a new stereo at the weekend for that very purpose.

Just go to manufacturers websites for info like Alpine, Kenwood, Pioneer, Sony.....

Of course they do

Yes, they do. Just about all of them play MP3s, most will also support wmp, aac and so on. Make sure the player you buy supports the file formats you have your music in; also, it's worth thinking about iPod (or similar) connectivity and also line in. Then you're set to play from just about any audio source.

Mine should be here soon i hope! Seems much easier using usb sticks instead of burning a cd each time, plus ill not forget work on the drive, as its stuck in the car each morning

We have a usb in our car - it really makes a difference, we can switch between usb, radio and a new cd which hasn't yet been added to the stick if we're desperate!!

The added benefit of the usb, apart from not having to either burn a copy disc from the original or indeed carry a cd in the car itself, is the amount of albums you can get on the usb - you'd lose a whole lot of car space having to carry that amount of choice around - lol

thanks for all replies--DW
