Will this mp3 player make all my 96kbps mp3's and 128kbps mp3's sound like cd quality or better? Can i play the mp3 player through my car stereo?

Not technically proficient enough to know what MP3's I am using. Some were from out of print vinyls. I will just say that they worked very well and seemd just as nice in my home set-up or my car stereo.Really improved the old vinyls. As for your car, if it is older and still has the cassette player up front, you can buy what looks like a cassette with a line on it. That goes on your Zen and it then plays through your car speakers. Newer cars usually have some small opening for running your cellphone, MP3 or other extra device through the sound system.

The sound quality depends on each MP3 file quality. Yes you can use your car stereo to play the music.

I wonder about this, too. I have a cd player that plays some mp3 discs but not others. I have another player that plays all MP3 discs but that one specified that it did that when I bought it. I think you have to buy one that specifically states it plays all MP3 discs. The one I have that does that is not portable and I need a portable one.

Hi Paul! I pulled out my user guide and it states that the unit is "not compatible with MP3 CDs." I truly hope this helps!

The sound is fine when you play the attached mp3/music device. Keep in mind the attachment is only transmitting a radio signal. If there is any sort of sound quality issue, more than likely it will have to do with the player or possibly the car stereo instead of this device. As long as the radio channel is not being used by a station, and your volume is all the way up on the attached device, everything will sound fine.

if your car support mp3 direct playback through USB, you can use USB, otherwise, use the line-out of the device connected directly through your car's AUX will give you better sound quality.

I've never played MP3 CDs so I can't really answer the question. I use an Ipod (the ultimate CD changer) with my head unit. I've had zero problems with the random feature with this arangement. good luck.

Depends where you live. I live in LA and finding an empty radio station is annoying and I constantly would have to set the fm tuner to another station. This particular cassette player didn't work in my car 96 Mazda Miata, but it works fine in my Mom's 99 Acura so I gave it to her. Cassette player works fine its just a matter of finding one that works for your car. As for sound quality I'd say the cassette is better as well as stations will constantly interrupt your music.

Just a caution, the manual says it will not play MP3, WMA, and DivX files. So if you're playing store-bought CDs, no problem, but it won't play your downloaded tunes in those formats.

Probably not from the USB, but you should be able to line it in through the headphone jack, using a line in cord or a tape adapter, and it should play fine through the car stereo. the built in speaker should effect that.

I use an mp3 car adapter. You can play anything with a 3.5mm headphone jack through the radio. It is not perfect but well worth the small investment if you have a car without a connection built in. Plug it into the cigarette lighter or accessory power port, tune radio to a blank area of the dial and tune the adapter to the same number and you are ready to play your phone, mp3, portable Cd or Dvd through the car stereo speakers. It will fade in and out some but its cheaper the a new stereo installation. Good luck.

If you have an auxilliary jack on your car stereo system, you can play any portible mp3 player on your car stereo. You just plug one end of the cord into the headphone jack of your player and the other end into the auxilliary jack of your car stereo. Then you set your car stereo to AUX. My husband had this kind of stereo installed in my truck for me. Works great! I can listen to anything that's on my mp3 player and not have to carry CD's around.

Yes, that would work just fine as long as you have a digital out on your player. You'll get remarkably improved definition if your CD player has a typical built in DAC.

These CD-Rs are only somewhat translucent when held up to a light bulb. They have worked for me in every player I have tried them in. Do the CDs you made for your car play in other players / cars? If not, burn the MP-3s as data using the ISO 9660 standard. These CD-Rs are probably worth a try.

Can't answer that, because I returned mine the next day. It would play one MP3 CD and then the next CD it would do an endless search without starting. I didn't even bother to try the SD card function. It is a nice looking unit and sounds good, but the quality of the key features on this player are NOT worth taking a chance on!! I paid fiftybucks for an MP3 player by memo rex...it works great!! No SD card feature though. :(

Hi Saint Louis, I bought one of this and I didn't get dissapointed. The stereo has a good desing and sounds much better than I expected. It comes with a remote control and batteries. It plays normal audio CDs, MP3 files, IPod via a usb port, and usb memories. I really like it.

It plays audio through either a USB, a headphone jack or Bluetooth. So yes of course you can play mp3s; I wouldn't recommend it as a CD player

It depends on the quality of media format you are playing. It has best sound quality and clarity playing off of a CD. You can always control the loudness through the equalizer.
