Blaupunkt's Newest Car Stereo Serves CD & USB Digital Music Without Interruptions
Blaupunkt, the car electronics division of Robert Bosch Corporation, has introduced a digital-savvy car radio designed to give users uninterrupted access to vast libraries of digital audio files on MP3-CD's and USB flash drives and large-format portable hard-drives. Unlike most car stereos, where MP3 playback is interrupted when searching digital play lists, the Blaupunkt New Orleans MP58 offers no-interrupt browsing capability of file menus and ID3 tag information without interfering with playback of the current track.
