In case anyone cares, iSkin makes good iPod cases, if you want the silicone type. They have a pretty neat screen cover design where you can actually see the screen (wow, who’d uh thunk). So obvious, yet impressive after trying a different brand with a thin plastic screen cover that sticks to the screen and does that bubbly half-stuck half-not filmy can’t-see-through-it thing.

Also rediscovered the fatal flaw of iTunes/iPod, and I think very MP3 player that exists so far - gapping between tracks. Live concert albums, Dark Side of the Moon, classical music, the first track on Get a Grip, and anything else where you want a smooth transition get totally ruined. Since almost half my music is live stuff, that’s a big bummer. Apple, fix that junk. Yeah, I know I could rip the CD as one track, but that’s just retarded.

I want to get an iPod. I want to listen in my car. I don’t have a tape player. Those radio adapters don’t work. There are kits to connect the iPod to the CD changer ports on factory stereos. Pretty cool, but they cost too much.

I found iPod Install in 2001 Honda Civic on “Ben’s Weblog.” Nice. And cheaper. I don’t need to control the iPod from the stereo. Just need to get the sound in. Sweet.

P.I.E DPX Aux Input Converter (I think this is the one that Ben’s Weblog used)

After all that, I find Apple’s page. Great. I swear I looked earlier and they didn’t have anything.

(p.s. The Andy Milonakis Show seemed promising, but it might suck instead.)

Update (2006-08-10): Huh… Looks like I never wrote what I actually ended up getting. I got the Blitzsafe “HON/M-Link1 DMX V.1 1998-2005″ Honda-to-iPOD® Interface from Logjam Electronics. It works great—just like listening to the factory CD player. And super easy to install—it plugs right in to the factory player’s CD changer jack.
