iPod or other MP3 player integration
We focus on iPod integration mainly because these music players have a majority market share. Automakers realize this, as well, and have been adding iPod integration into many models. Good iPod integration lets you plug in the device, then browse your music library on the car's LCD or radio display. You should be able to select music the same way you do on your iPod: by artist, album, genre, playlist, or track. An iPod beats leaving a stack of CDs on the passenger seat, and we even find it preferable to having music stored on a hard disk in the car.
