ISP Information:
This type of storage is not as fast as DRAM, but maintains data through power loss. It is very similar to Flash memory, except EEPROMs are normally written to one byte at a time, while Flash memory is written to in blocks. See also EPROM.

MOSSBERG Millions of Americans have acquired zillions of digital song files and are happily listening to them on their PCs and portable music players. But one place where music is often enjoyed, the car, remains largely off limits. Sure, you can burn your MP3 song files to a CD and play them in the car. But that doesn't give you thousands of songs at one time, or let you play them in any combination with ease, as you can on an Apple iPod. Plus, most factory-installed car CD players don't tell you the song, artist or album that is playing, which is a key part of the digital-music experience. So, digital-music lovers who want to replicate the iPod-type experience must tote players to the car and hook them into the auto sound system via a cassette adapter or some other gadget. Not only is the sound inferior, but you're constantly taking your eyes off the road to fumble with the player to change songs.For the past two years, I've been driving around with an in-dashCD-MP3 player from Kenwood. I can put, on average, about 14 entirealbums on a single CD (either CD-R or CD-RW). In looking through aflyer in this morning's paper from a local car-audio place, I findroughly half of the car CD players being advertised also have MP3capability. Where's this guy been? :-)My player also reads CD-TEXT, so whenever I burn an "audio" formatdisc I make sure I include all the song titles and stuff, so that theytoo will display.-- Joey Lindstrom
