Default Staff arguing about audio inspection products. Please help settle this dispute.

We are devoloping some marketing, business success and educational audio products for inspectors to listen to in their vehicles.

Inspectors spend a large portion of their time in their inspection vehicles.

How would you prefer these products?

CD?
iPod download?
8 track tape?

I would suggest pod casts.

Everyone reading this thread has a comp.

Those with ipods will put them in their cards. Those without could burn their own CD's if they wanted to, or plug in their comp to their car radios.

Downloadable MP3 is the way to go. If they want to burn them on a C.D., they can do it themselves.

Look at the big picture guys, many inspectors that live in the boonies, and only have dial-up service will play hell downloading mp3 files, or streaming podcasts. Cd's are more practical for everyone. Those that want mp3's, can rip the cd, and load their ipods.

Goes both ways.

I'd be interested in trying one to see how it goes.

Definitely downloadable or streaming media for me.

mp3s are fine even for dialup.

I think a better question would be "Who even listens to audio products "?

HI's are visual by nature.
