Opera Or Rock It's Best In The Car

It is one of the great rites of passage for any youth to be able to throw away the ‘L’ plates and drive the car on their own.

It is also part of the fun to turn up the car audio and blast a bit of music whilst driving along some country lane or sea-shore road.

The combustion engine car has been around for well over a hundred years but only in the last fifty have they been affordable for most people. Fifty years ago most cars had no radio at all and only expensive models had that luxury.

Apart from anything else it was not always easy to get a good radio signal and with one hand on the steering wheel the other would forever be twiddling the tuning knob whilst eyes would be darting from dash to road and back.

Sometime in the sixties it was possible to fit a cassette pla

yer. This was about the size of a toaster and the cartridges containing just a few songs from an album were the size of an average paperback book.

The CD player was the next big innovation in the eighties but these were originally very expensive. There was a cheaper option of a small magnetic tape cassette which usually resulted in miles of tangled tape sightings along roadsides.

Today luxury limousines are fitted with around twenty speakers and a media centre allowing all capabilities of iPods and iPhones to be listened to, watched and spoken into.

Wi-Fi and hands-free instruments means we can conduct business and be entertained with our own choice of music all the time and sometime soon the car will drive itself leaving the roads safer than ever.

If your car audio system does not make the most of the music on your portable media player then take a look at In Car Music and see how easy it is to buy and replace the existing system with a powerful new amplifier and a greater range of speakers.
