[QUOTE="mnaines, post: 2064512, member: 569980"] I'm going to say this: Don't waste your money. It looks to me like you are buying the most expensive thing you see just because "it has all the features I need". You don't need an external harddrive for music, you don't need a head unit with a USB port, you don't even need satellite radio. Do not waste your money on things you don't need. Don't waste $500 on that Kenwood head unit when that $500 could go to better use, like a new set of speakers, an amp, subwoofers, or even performance mods for your car. I know some people are going to bash me for this, but if you are looking for quality, stick to either store-bought CD's or use Sony's ATRAC3plus, which has better quality at lower bitrates. 64kbps ATRAC3plus has the same quality as 320kbps MP3, and file sizes are very small, 1.9MB for a 4-minute song. Don't waste your money buying top-of-the-line shit that you don't even need. [/QUOTE]
