Of course we got the iPod shuffle accessories before we got the player itself. Dangit. So we plugged the Belkin TuneCast II into a portable CD player and went for Mexican.

Sounds great. It adds that nostalgic FM quality to the George Harrison and Cat Stevens mix CD we brought for the short drive. The Cat songs had at least six degrees of separation from his vocal cords. George was closer. I could tell the difference, so there was some quality to the audio.
