Short stumpy usb stick thing
As title, want one to stick in front of car stereo, doesn't have to be massive storage, 50 odd albums whatever that equates to, save me having cable hanging out.
Anyone know where best to look? Cheers.

I know that mate, but don't really know what I'm looking at - 1gb, 2gb etc, and one site had dimensions in inches, 6.1" long isn't short lol.
Don't know which make is good or anything, could be any old crap on ebay without knowing what's what.

well an albumn is sub 100mb, so 50 albumns is ~5gb
4 gig sticks are cheap now, 16-20 quid
Ive had lots of cheap ebay rap and tbh theyve all come straight from china and been fine. for the sake of a few quid you can by a branded one in asda for little over 20!
any of the common makes will be fine, my current one is maxell.
6.1 inches is pish, itll be 6.1 cm, open, including the usb bit itself

depends what quality you rip the albumns fella, but anything below 256kbps is mince!
you can get some tiny ones that look like a flat card and dont have the metal cage around the usb connections.
this is the other option:http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-SDDR...075810&sr=1-20

Wtf is that thing in link - reads info from disc you stick somewhere out the way or something??
CHRIS - I want a nice short one so I don't knock it when indicating.
What am I saying, it's a bmw...... I don't like the look of a long one sticking out
