How Does the file structure work for an 07 Factory MP3 D changer?

About the price increase... I think I saw mentioned that songs are still $0.99 through Amazon. I've downloaded a CD through them and it worked well, although one track did have a stutter in it.

I also have a base model, but did get the iPod cable which works well with my iPhone. Out of curiosity I searched on Ebay and found a few MP3 playing heads for about $150. Maybe I'll get one and swap it in... someday.

Not much of an iTunes or iPod/iPhone fan, I must say. Even though they have beautifully designed products, I prefer open source, open formats over proprietary stuff anyday. (BTW, I heard that Apple has just raised the price on their song downloads to $1.39 starting today)

A tape deck would be a better choice than an FM transmitter, but I doubt anyone in this thread has one since they were ditched on Priuses after 05 in the US. I have personal experience w/2 FM transmitters, 2 tape adapters and aux in over various cars.

As for "open formats", iPods and iPhones can playback straight MP3s without any transcoding. That's good enough/"open" enough for me. I don't care about formats like Ogg Vorbis and I don't encode to AAC.

Nope, Apple did NOT raise iTunes song prices to $1.39. They changed to tiered pricing of $0.69, $0.99 and $1.29, depending on the song and ditched DRM on songs sold in iTMS. See URLs below for example:

DRM-free iTunes: What it means for you | Entertainment & HDTV | Playlist | Macworld
iTunes is DRM-free, adds variable pricing | Music and Audio | Macworld

Nobody's required to buy songs from iTunes store. They can come from other music stores, ripped from one's own CDs, etc.

Before Apple ditched DRM, ever since Amazon started selling MP3s and added a nice little downloader app (automatically adds songs into your iTunes library), I would always shop for the same song at Amazon. Sometimes it was cheaper and of course, the MP3s were DRM free. So, if it were available on Amazon and iTunes Store for the same price, I'd buy from Amazon.
