But that leaves you with a pile of old CD-Rs under the seat in the car. I thought the goal was to use one CD-RW and continually update it as new shows came out. It's not a dreadful idea if you have the time and the disks work.
And that's why folk connect their iPods up to their car radios ... :)

I'm waiting for Apple to make a car radio/iPod that will slot into the standard radio slot in a car/truck and integrate with the iTunes library on my computer (the one that feeds my hand-held iPod) - but I think I'll be waiting for a very, very long time :(

Perfectly correct, but that wasn't the question. I still make Music CDs for friends who routinely connect their iPhone to their car, but are squeamish about four-time-zone file transfer and iTunes management. I can hit them over the head with it, or I can just make the disks and everyone will be happy. I got as far as opening a Drop-Box account, but I started to get longer and longer pauses in the emails (you want me to do ... what, now?), so I realized this was uphill.

Probably eventually. In my case, my truck (lorry) is aggressively resistant to the idea of plugging anything in and I accidentally got a much fancier "factory" sound system that doesn't appear in the wiring books. That takes care of trading out the system. "Cool. I wonder where that harness goes?"
