[Swprograms] Re: GM To Aid Mobile SWL's

I didn't realize this was a first -- I've read, in general terms,
about aux jacks existing in car audio systems for about a year now.

I am surprised these car makers just don't offer a flash memory reader
-- that way you'd dump your audio onto the card and then bring your
card to the car.  That would eliminate the need for a Rube
Goldberg-esque solution.

Seems goofy to think about the need to worry about a transportable
medium -- I still maintain an audio cassette works fine.  Its only
downside is that you have to download audio in real time -- versus a
quick file transfer.

Another solution is a wireless FM transmitter such as the IRock BeamIt
or the C. Crane FMT transmitter
(http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/misc/1034.html).

The casette-type adapters we once used to connect our portable radios to the car audio system will soon have no hole to plug into.  GM has come to the rescue by introducing an auxilliary audio input mini-jack on the dash of some 2006 models.
