Re: MP3 Players
Why is it that whenever one wants to purchase an MP3 supported product, it is for iPOD only?

Re: MP3 Players
For example, car stereos, kitchen radios etc. If you want to have a direct connection to these products, for example, menus displays etc. generally speaking they are only compatible with iPODs.

Big Wrong there dude, in fact i would say with car stereo's you are less likely to be able to find one where an ipod works than a standard mp3 player, at least you don't need that stupid itunes , any stereo with either a USB port or headphone jack will work with an mp3 player, not all will work with an ipod so all in all you are better off not getting an ipod and being trapped with using their horrible program, and no i'm not being biased as i have an iphone

Re: MP3 Players
I know that one can plug USBs and headphone jacks in all kinds of places, but I am referring to dedicated ports in sound bars and stereos etc. that are specific to iPODs. I can stick wires everywhere to Sunday, but it won't make the MP3 stand up in the recess, nor will it make the remote control work or bring up the display on the screen.

Fair enough but you wouldn't buy an iPod dock if you didn't have an iPod so it has no meaning

But there are no, or very few, alternatives. None that work as well as those made specifically for the iPOD. My point is, I am getting fed up with having to jury-rig connections etc. to get only part usability. Why can't manufacturers offer a comparable product?

I am not expecting anyone to come up with a sensible answer, I'm just ranting.

I'll second that. Much better than an iPod IMO, and it supports more files and (mine, anyway) has expandable memory.

Point taken, although the thread was just entitled "MP3 Players."
