Car Audio questions

I'm not getting an iPod, too many issues that I'd have to work around. I'd rather keep my reliable old 2004 Creative Zen MicroPhoto. Even MP3/WMA CD capability would be fine, you can get around 300 songs to one of those CDs and that's much more than the 6 CDs that are currently in there.

In my other car I have a casette adapter and I use the Zen there and it's great, biggest problem is the power adapter I have covers the headphone jack so I need to get a different adapter if I plan on running off the car's 12v rather than my battery.

I like pioneer head units, the styling looks ok in my various ford products that I drive. I had a few of the oel display models, 860, 930, and few others. I have never had issues with the pioneer units, but these are the 600 plus dollar models. Not sure how the cheaper ones perform.

I had a 94 gt and put in a sony cd player and later a cheaper alpine. Both of them were great performers and worked well with the other factory Mach 460 amps. The Alpine sounded better. The Sony is a little more stealth in terms of appearance in the dash though.
