Could you suggest some useful methods to listen to music in car for the best sound? And do I need all song in [URL="http://linktomp3.com/"]MP3[/URL] format for this target?
Bose sound system with 64kbit mp3s
What car do you have? What level of sound quality and/ or volume are you looking to achieve? What's the budget?
speaker to amp, amp to audio source like an ipod. keep it simples and you'll be ok. I have this complicated pioneer piece of garbage that I only find useful because I can plug my ipod in, but it's pointless seeing as all your doing is playing audio off a phone.
Boombox
I dropped $300 bucks for speakers and a headdeck for my car and installed them with a mate in an afternoon. The music quality is fucking fantastic.

If you have a tape deck (and nothing else) there are adapters available. They're tapes with wires connected, for the headphone slot on your phone They're made mad cheap so the cable will die eventually (very quickly if you treat it as well as I treated mine) I ended up getting a blue tooth adapter - same concept, no cable. It'll last a lot longer, but it runs on a battery so you'll be taking it inside to charge pretty often. They both have drawbacks I guess, but it's better than dropping cash on a new radio imo

I've had once since I started driving and have done this a couple times.

Was looking for audio solutions myself seeing as how a 30 year old BMW only has a tape deck.
