Direct me. I want a 6 disc changer or better than can fit under the seat

And a headunit to match. Kenwood is my new choice. I have two Kenwood Amps that are old but rock! (744 and 823). Nothing fancy, as I do not like 1000 features that I do not use.

I used an Alpine for several years, it fit by screwing it to the bottom of the seat, loadable from the front.

......had an Alpine 12 disk going on 4yrs. now , not a problem to speak of , other than the faceplate-latch being loose and giggly.......

........I think sony and alpine are the most readily available, at least around here..

yea, you should just buy a regular CDstereo headunit and wire it to accept auxilary and hook up an MP3 player. for better control though (if you dont have an ipod or if your new unit doesnt support controlling the mp3 player on the headunit itself..) i'd just go with an MP3/CD player. you can shuffle through all mp3s on that disc or shuffle only one group, or repeat all or repeat one group etc. you get the idea...

OK, should I get a (minimum 3GB) MP3 player or a changer? I am leaning tward the MP3 (no skipping). Upload the CD's and leave them home?

Yup, your original CDs can remain unscratched and safe at home. If you're an SQ freak, make sure you rip CDs at a high bit rate. If you're playing off stock speakers then you can compress and cram a lot of music on a CD.

I also agree with a MP3 route, either MP3 cd player or an IPOD (or some kind of mp3 player).

Size depends on how much music you want and your budget. You could fit 6 albums on to one MP3 CD with decent compression. Most MP3 cd players should have AUX input so you can go either way. Good luck!

Although I haven't had personal experience with it, I've heard that the Alpine adaptor is really difficult to use on the headunit. People say its not user friendly and doesn't have much functionality for the price.
