hi group!
i am looking to get a new audio unit to replace the stock on my 91 yj. the existing stereo works perfectly fine (fm/cassette that is, which is all i need) but the problema is w/ audio cassettes. i just can't seem to get any of my home stereos to record songs at acceptable audio quality anymore. the heads are probably worn out, tapes too old, or whatever the cause of poor quality is. so back in my jeep, as you can imagine, the poorly recorded tracks are no pleasure to enjoy.
rather than getting another so-called hifi stereo sys only to go bad in the next couple of years, here's my question-
has anyone seen, read or otherwise heard of car stereos that can read some sort of electronic flash cards (be it compact flash or something else)?
fyi, i do know there exist such things as cd players these days, but these are not an option for me. for one, they are mechanical and so wouldn't last long on the roads i frequent; two, i hate the delicate nature of cd disks themselves, a total contrast to the things you expect to do in/with a jeep; and three, i am not paranoid about music quality, especially in a jeep, where engine roar and road noise is primarily there for you to enjoy :-)
any suggestions, hints and links greatly appreciated tia, pete
