Playing MP3s on a non-MP3 deck...

What are my choices? I don't have a disc changer, and it's something I'm contemplating. Would it be possible to get one that can read MP3s? Will that do it for me? I have a really nice deck already and don't want to spend the money on a new one.

Thanks guys!

If you have auxilliary on your deck, you could always buy a nice portable mp3 player and hook that up.

There is no way a CD player will play MP3's.... either way if you want MP3s you're going to have to either buy another deck, or possibly a portable mp3 player

Just buy a another deck that plays MP3's. They are pretty inexpensive nowadays.

I have the Creative Jukebox. My Pioneer head has an auxiliary input that uses the 1/8" miniplug.

If your headunit has an aux input, I would get a nice portable mp3 player and run it to that...you can always take the player with you outside the car which is cool. If you don't have an aux input, you can just get a new deck with cd-mp3 capability for like $100. They work great! That is what I have.
