Relax. It's nearly all cosmetic! The circuitry's unchanged.
Different push button and more accurate figures on the front panel
chart. Lessee....what else....? Auto switch off time's increased a
bit. PCB is silk screened and solder masked. Now uses 6 AAA cells
instead of 9V alkaline battery, not because of battery life but
because so many people couldn't figure out how to hold the battery in
place!
Probably the biggest difference is that the micro can do some
testing of the circuitry to localize construction faults. If yours is
working, that's irrelevant. It doesn't flash "EA" when you switch it
on, now. Not with "Silicone Chimp" scrawled across the front!
If you've already got one of the EA meters, you're not missing
much. Still the same accuracy and in-circuit measuring etc.
Now Trevor's really going to hate me. I asked around amongst my
mates about car MP3 players. Everyone said "Get a Kenwood because
they're terrific and they never break down!!". Went to Strathfield Car
Radio to have a look at one, and they made me an offer I couldn't
refuse. So I installed it. Works really well.
I hope you'll still talk to me anyway.

Something that does MPEG files etc as well would also be a big step
forward too - some car stereos now seem to have DVD players and small
LCD screens in them and such a product (hard drive based) seems to be
unavailable for that application, and I think would become quite
popular.

$329 (plus hard drive) buys you an aweful lot of blank CD-R's
though...
If something like this is not commercially available, give it a few
months and it will be. Actually, I think I saw stuff like this at
Northrocks computer markets the other week. I wasn't specifically
looking for audio stuff, but I do remember their being plenty of "MP3"
gear...
