I'm pretty sure Rockford makes one. Havn't heard anything on it, but I'm almost positive it's out there

Yeah, it'a an eight disc changer that can be used with any of their RFX9000 series decks and all of last year's RFX8000 series except the RFX8340 and the RFX8350. It also comes with the unit for your PC. I believe Crutchfield.com sells them.

I think I'd have trouble filling eight MP3 discs worth of music though. I mean, that's a lot of tunes

I read a bit about it.. seems too limited for my taste. For one, it's only compatable with R-F products. Secondly, it only uses flash-card type media, not mp3 cds. The site says it holds up to 8 cards, at 8 MB each, equaling 64 MB total. It does mention larger capacity cards, able to hold 4 hours of music at FM quality per, but I still prefer my mp3 cds. One mp3 cd holds 750-800 MB of info... seems that the regular mp3 compatable car cd players are a better bet at this point. Truthfully, I'm just going to stick with my AIWA CDC-MP3, bugs and all, until a HU is made that will read mp3 cds burned on re-writable DVDs.... then I can have my entire music collection on one disc (getting up into the multi-GB range at that point). The Kenwood model (Kenwood KHD-CX910), however, seems like it might be a neat item to look into. Seems it comes with a 10 GB drive. Again, it requires a specific deck to function properly.

that's my main point............i don't care to have my whole cd collection in the car with me that way i could have a good majority and not worry........if something bad were to happen it's no big deal.

so no one makes a real changer yet huh? seems kinda crazy as i wouldn't think it's much different from a stock cd changer. o'well.
