When I've used my phone it doesn't sound as good as the iPod touch .
I have the lead in headphone port and it plugged into a usb i fitted into the glove box to charge .
Cheers for the reply .

It depends what car I’m in.

If I’m in the Z4, then I use either the iPhone/iPod connected via Bluetooth via a Pure DAB via FM (can be hard-wired too).

In the Alfa, I simply plug in a 128gb USB stick with folders of MP3s.

Not seen the need for another form of music player, as my Mac/iPhone/iPod/iPad all work fine with iTunes (although I understand it’s a pig on Windows).

The last decent ‘audio’ player I saw played everything from MP3, to MP4, to WMA, and FLAC. Think it was something made by FiiO.

MP3's are getting a bit long in the tooth now, most people are moving away from them due to pretty horrible compression algorithms.

The modern (and most inexpensive way) would be just to use something like a Spotify account to build a playlist onto your phone then stream it via a bluetooth receiver that plugs into your aux socket like this.... viewtopic.php?f=2&t=104224

I've resurrected the thread in the hope someone can point me in the right direction .
Any thoughts would be great .

Cheers Greg.

I've now bit the bullet and bought a Sony walkman mp3 player , let's hope I've researched it right and it works .
