When choosing a pioneer car audio MP3
it’s important to address a few key
questions.
How much do you want to spend?
What features are most important to you?
An MP3 is a way to encode audio that
compresses data so it can store a lot more
of it while keeping a high standard of
quality. Pioneer has a long-standing
reputation for quality and also for being
one of the easiest car audio systems to
install and use. They make a range of car
audio that can play MP3’s, including the
lower end DEH-P3700MP for a little over
$100 to the AVICD1 navigation system for
about $1,600. If you are looking for a
basic system to play CD’s and MP3’s, a
simpler system will be fine. But, if you
want more features like navigation or a DVD
player you will pay a lot more for a higher
end system.
One of the most important things to look for
is how you are going to navigate through
all of your MP3 files, especially while
driving.
If you have a large library of music, you
will need to find an MP3 player that makes
browsing through the discs as easy as
possible. Many discs can hold up to about
250 songs, and it’s crucial that you can
find exactly what you’re looking for as
quickly as possible. One of the most
reasonably priced MP3 player’s Pioneer
makes is the DEH-P5500M, which costs around
$270 and allows you to organize files by
artist, track, folder name, file name, and
album. It also has satellite radio and CD
changer controls. It’s also imperative that
you check that the discs you use on your
computer for music are compatible with the
ones for the MP3 player, otherwise you
might end up with a library of music that
won’t play in your car. ID tags to identify
songs must be a certain version compatible
with the car’s system, or you’ll end up with
a lot of unusable music. If you figure out
what you’re looking for, you can make an
educated decision about which system will
best suit your budget and your listening
needs.
