Kenwood MusicKeg Installed in MY98

I just installed a Kenwood MusicKeg in my MY98. For anyone not familiar with it, this is a device that accepts a cartridge (ranging in capacity from 10 GB - 80 GB) that will play mp3 and a few other music file formats through your existing headunit. It will work with any brand headunit that supports a CD changer via an RF modulator, but it plugs up native to Kenwood headunits, which is what I have. The headunit recognizes it as a CD changer, and treats each mp3 playlist as a disc. I have the smallest cartridge available (10 GB), and so far I have 72 CDs - over 900 songs - stored on it. This only consumed about 1/3 of the available storage space. The device is made by Phatnoise and relabeled by Kenwood. Phatnoise estimates that the 10 GB unit will hold about 2,500 songs. So far, that seems to be accurate.

I think this is the COOLEST stereo upgrade going. I installed it using the CD changer instructions abundantly available on this site, so I didn't bother to document it as it would have been redundant.

Having said that, if anyone wants installation info or pictures - or info on the unit itself - let me know and I'll post it.

BTW - I got it factory refurbished on EBAY, and it ran $169 plus $20 S+WY. Best money I ever spent on audio equipment. In fact, there is a home unit available that I'm now looking at. This will allow me to take my entire music collection out for a drive . . .

I recently purchased a sony personal CD player that plays MP3 and "ATRAC" compressed MP3 burned on your PC for "490 songs per CD".

The technology is evloving quickly in a good way.
