Article Body: For all of those MP music owners, the future of car audio is finally here for you. Gone are the days where you had to burn your MPs onto a CD for playback in your car audio system. Sony recently released the MEX-GP CD receiver, a CD receiver that also features a built-in GB flash memory unit. So now your car audio CD receiver behaves in the same manner as your iPod or other type of MP player. The GB flash memory unit can store up to of your favorite songs, giving you plenty of playback time for your music. This little device will make even the longest of trips in your car smoother and more enjoyable, since you will not have to worry about changing CDs any longer.

Aside from playing MPs, this CD receiver also plays CDs (as the name implies) along with burned CD-Rs and CD-RWs so that those who wish to play their old CDs can still take advantage of this nifty product. However, the real attraction to this new car audio head unit is the MP playability. The flash memory unit is located in the detachable faceplate. Here resides the USB port which allows you to connect the faceplate to your PC (similar to your iPod or other MP player). Once your faceplate is connected to your CD, you simply drag and drop the MP files onto the flash memory unit of the faceplate. Unfortunately the faceplate is only compatible with Windows operating systems, so all of you Mac owners will have to go to your buddys house to copy the MPs to and from the Sony MEX-GP.

The new receiver is also aesthetically pleasing to the eye as well. It is finished in a high-gloss black color and features a -segment LCD display for simple navigation of track and title information. The screen displays album, artist and track name when playing your MP music files. Users can shuffle or repeat tracks, albums or personalized groups through controls on the faceplate or with the supplied remote control. The MEX-GP unit has a built-in -watt power amplifier and a three-band equalizer enabling clear, rich sound. The selectable rear/subwoofer preamp outputs, controls the frequency and output level of an external amplifier.

After installing this receiver and experiencing it for a little over a week, I must say that I am quite impressed with this product. For one, the sound quality when playing MPs through this unit is nothing less than phenomenal. If you didnt know any better, you would think that you were playing a CD with the crisp and clear playback quality of this head unit. While traveling on a three hour road trip (three hours each way, six hours total) I was able to listen to one selection of songs on the way up and an entirely different selection of songs on the way back, all without the hassle of changing CDs and enduring a pause in play. Im just a little surprised it took so long for a product like this to hit the market, especially with the increasing popularity of portable MP devices such as the iPod over the last several years. While it may have taken awhile for a product like this to hit the market, Im sure Sony will have plenty of competitors very soon, which will benefit car audio enthusiasts like myself.
