I found out that the CD player in my car from new 14 years ago can recognise and play MP3 files burned onto CDROM. I can select tracks by stepping through, or voice commanded track number just as if it was a big hundred+ track CD.

It's a 6-disc changer integrated in an alpine head unit with Land Rover branding on it.

I also have my CD collection on iTunes loaded onto a 30 gig ipod on an analogue aux audio input port.

I have never discovered where the sensors are that allow the random play mode to pick the rude tracks off of the Monty Python Sings album I got some christmasses ago, whenever I'm in earshot of other cars. I think it's linked to the window positioners.
