I can't comment on iPods and iTunes as I have successfully avoided
them...
but another possible avenue for car audio these days is USB. Does
your car's head unit support USB? Almost all the newer model head units
do. I've had a USB drive in my car for years, tucks right up under the
dash
I think I fixed it thanks. Car is a Merc, USB is limited to 2k tracks
and clunky on how it manages directories etc. VW is easier - it

copying files
After years of resistance, my new car really only supports IPod as a
usable music storage device so I gave in and bought an iPod and
installed iTunes. Ugh! It kinda works - I imported my music directory
into iTunes library without actually having to import the music, and
then used iTunes to sync
