well, currently I have a Kenwood MP3 CD player. It wont play MP3 cds and barely plays normal cd's after 2 years. Ive tried cleaning it and whatever but only the change in weather seems to affect its mood.

I figure my choices are:
1) buy a new MP3 CD player. Not really a fan of this choice cause I want more than 200 songs

2) keep current deck, buy MP3 player and radio transmitter. 10 gb player would last me for a long time as I only have 5gb of music. This seems to be the best of both worlds (the music will always be with me, plus later on I could upgrade to a deck with input jacks) What is the quality loss on these transmitters? Ive seen sirius radios that work that way and seem to be very good.

3) DVD player (without screen). Do these things exist and are they reliable? (4.7gb of music woudl satisfy me)

price is also a factor here, as I would like to put as little as possible into it. I wont be driving too much this summer.
