I looked on major search engines, forums and on trademark sites and couldn't find any car radio which supports ogg or flac. Well, I did, just one, Kenwood Music Keg based on Phatnoise box. It's based on cartridges but I am actually looking for a car radio supporting CD's with Ogg, or even better: supporting DVD with Ogg. Neither did I find car radios with integrated DVD supporting mp3. It should be much cheaper to produce than Phatnoise based ones. It should be simple and cheap to implement since there are several portable players supporting ogg out there. Why still don't exist CD- or DVD-car radios supporting Ogg? Any ideas about why or upcoming models? Please correct me if I missed existent models. Thx in advance

I wish Alpine would support Vorbis...I've an old head unit whose volume rotary knob is failing and makes volume adjustment a hassle. However, I have an Alpine 10-disc CD changer in the trunk, which still works like a charm so I don't want to chunk it. I have to wonder if JVC makes any mention of said format support on their website. It's ridiculous that they couldn't add 3 measly letters to the spec to reveal all that it plays. It makes you wonder how many other hidden features exist in the wild... I also wonder if this will read files and dirs from the Nano with a Rockbox installation. It behaves slightly differently than your average USB storage memory device. This post has been edited by vinnie97: Jul 12 2006, 10:44
