Ha wow, now that's dedication.

At least now your car can have bluetooth and Siri integration...which lets you play music from Spotify...when you have reception...or tracks from your $500 16gb iPhone which can store a few albums...ugh.

You could probably re-make that project pretty handy these days, with Raspberry Pi's and hard-drives being cheap and so on

If you reencode to lower bitrates you can likely store just as much on the iPhone as you did in the winamp days; when I was using winamp, I bought the largest drive I could afford for video encoding; it was 6GB.

Good point. 128kbps was more than enough for me in those days. 160 was hedonistic.

Half my original MP3 collection was 96kbps 128kbps was "high quality".
