Baldwin_James at emc.com thought:

...just buy a portable MP3/Video CD player.  IR remote, audio CD, MP3 CD,
Video CD (mpeg)  ~IEP130 from www.marx-computers.com and for the car nuts,
an in-car CD mounting kit (suspension platform, 12V power converter and
audio to cassette deck adapter (you don't really want that bit 'cos you'll
do better with a stereo jack to head unit cable)).  I added a Creative
Labs Subwoofer and 4-way satellite speaker system (IEP75) ('cos the car's unit and
speakers are crap), had a fight with an earth loop and I'm away!
