I would recommend an FM Modualtor in line. I have a wireless,cassette, and in line. The inline in my 2005 Durango is best, it is more time consuming to install but the sound is better. The cassette works fine for my 2000 Ram sounds ok and it's cheap. The wireless is good for a rental car with no cassette player. The MP3 player I have is a Dell DJ 30 gb. The reason I bought a Dell is I can buy music from more places,(Matchmusic,Wal-mart,MSN,etc). Hope this will help.

I'd have to say an Ipod (not a nano) or Creative Zen would be the best. It's really personal preference as to what style you like and what fits your budget. They're both good models. Just don't buy an Ipod Nano.

Sound quality is more dependant on the quality of Mp3 you put on there. Anything below 128kbps isn't going to sound good.

As far as using your PSP, you'd need to install an FM modulator in line like xtech was explaining...or get a wireless transmitter/cassette adapter. As long as it has a headphone jack, you can listen to it in your vehicle on the vehicle's sound system.

Because a cd will only hold 700mb. Some people like to have more music than that with them..more of a variety. I have a 60gb Ipod myself, and it's over half full already.
