Oh, and if it's local, search is instant, playback is instant, internet connectivity does not matter, no surprice updates, it just works. My player is Winamp and it still works just fine after all these years.

If someone want's to talk to me I just press ctrl+shift+E to pause, don't need to find a window on the computer. Tired of the song playing? Press ctrl+shift+b for next song in whatever program/game I'm in at the moment. (My winamp has quake-controls because that was what I was playing when I found the global hotkey settings.

I load my tunes on a USB stick and play them in the car. Never worry about connectivity, outages, or data plans. And it remembers where it left off when I turn the key on again.

I tried playing my phone through the AUX port, but nobody has yet made a mini audio jack that has a solid connection (always gotta wiggle it or turn it, like a cheap potenciometer).

Get a new cable, can also try headset type cable with converter. Sometimes they're not the right size and then you get connection problems.
