JavaPosse is neat...

Not too long ago I thought it would be neat to try an audioblog of Java News... Not a very original ideal perhaps, and it turns out that Tor Norbye, Carl Quinn and Dick Wall have been doing a very good job with The Java Posse. They carry a pretty good set of Java News and Interviews and are already in volume 11. Cool!

A pitty that my car does not have an MP3 player... maybe I'll have to finally break down and get one. Anybody knows of a good, not too expensive, solution for my Prius?

• You could try an FM transmitter that plugs into your lighter outlet, although as you are driving a Toyota you can remove the radio and interface and iPod directly with it. You then just use the CD controls on the radio to control it. I think Clik & Clak did a piece on this recently... take a look at their site chat forums for more

• Or you could just convert the MP3 back to audio and burn it to cd. I know that Roxio CD Creator on Windows and K3B on Linux allow you to create
  audio CD projects and will automatically convert mp3s back to audio when you click burn.

• Thanks for spreading the word!

  I don't have a MP3 player in my car either, but I do have an ipod. I just use one of those $15 tape player adapters (you stick the cassette in the tape drive, and it has a chord that hooks up to the headphone jack of the iPod). Makes my commute a lot more interesting.
