My previous car's player could play MP3 CDs, so maybe 8-10 hours of music on a CD. This one is the old CD audio format only. Pain in the butt. I suspect that making a CD-adapter would be a bit more difficult than a tape-adapter. Or adaptor, if one wants to provoke an ill-informed rant about Brit vs US English. -- Pd

You want the gain done in hardware exclusively, I would have thought. So what are you on about? I think you must be thinking of something other than what I'm thinking of.

I think you must be thinking of something > other than what I'm thinking of. Automatic gain control. Ramping the gain up when there is a low input. -- Woody

If you think it's best done in software, you're thinking of something other than what I'm thinking of; either that, or you're wrong. Try to convince me that you're not wrong - that I've just mis-understood what you're on about.
