I would recommend this as an alternative to swapping out your head unit in your car if it is in working condition, however mine is skipping horribly and after using my friends mp3 discman I am stuck with the decision, to buy a cheep stereo, and get a mp3 discman, or to buy a Aiwa stereo with mp3 built in for about 300.00.

The thing is Aiwa isn't known for their car stereo's, so I dont know what to expect on that item. I have a friend with one and have yet to get a ride with him.

However I have rode with a friend several times while using this cd mp3 player and I was surprised as to how it sounded. He was using a tape adapter too. If your stereo has an aux jack on it.. That's all the better it will make all the difference in the world..

However if your existing stereo does not have a jack, and you want mp3, maybe your existing stereo isn't even cd, or it skips alot, or has poor sound.. The aiwa mp3 player might be a better choice..

Perhaps your not planning to use it in the car, maybe you want something to carry with you.. Then this is the choice!!
Much more superior to those little memory stick based players.

But for the car audio person its a debate between a mp3 head unit or just attaching something like this.. Quality is about the same if you use an aux cable.. but tape adapter quality is rather poor... then if you stereo has no aux and it is cd.. theres no way to get this player on your car speakers in which case.. I don't know what to tell you..
