Thanks ... I suspected as much, but was trying to remain optimistic.
CD TEXT ... I've tried "encoding" some using NERO but it only seems to "read" the TRACK name ... nothing more. Will keep testing (and making coasters ... <grin> ). Seems like ITunes won't even encode CDText, wonder if Roxio does. Oh well!
And, have a IPod with over 3,000 MP3 loaded ... been using my ITrip but get a lot of static. Keeping my fingers crossed that the folks at COASTALETEC (or ???) will come up with an adapter for the '04 soon so I can do a "line-in" to the existing sound system.
