More than 70 percent of 2007-model cars in the United States will offer a way to link up the iPod with car stereos under the agreements, Apple said.
GM will offer iPod connections on all 56 of its models, representing millions of cars and trucks, Apple said. Mazda’s global 2007 lineup of cars and sports utility vehicles will offer an iPod feature as well.
The iPod car feature will allow drivers to charge the digital music player and store it in a glove compartment as they listen to its songs. It will also allow listeners to use car stereo controls to select music on the iPod device.
I guess playlists make it reasonable to put the critter in the glove compartment. Do all iPod owners actually sort their music into every conceivable mood category?
These comments make it appear that DU attracts people who ae out of touch and uncool. One would be hard put to find a site where most commenters would not own iPods and some be quite hostile to device.
Truth is that America is an iPod Nation. With more than half of all digital music players sold and about 70 percent of the digital download market, Apple rules.
Eideard, to answer your naive question, it is up to the iPod owner to decide if he will add additional Playlists and how many based on what criteria. Choices such as Purchased and Recently Played are buillt in.
I am an iPod owner since the first generation and proud of it!
