From USA Today:
“Searching for an answer to the music download revolution, automakers and audio suppliers are preparing a new wave of car stereos with enough built-in memory for hours of recorded music.
Chevrolet will introduce an entertainment-system option on its Uplander minivan this spring that has hard-drive memory capable of storing 40 movies, 10,000 song tracks or basic video games. It will be offered in General Motors’ other minivans by the year’s end.
Storing music and movies on the hard drive cuts clutter. ‘As the mother of two kids, you have CDs and DVDs floating around the vehicle. It’s nice to consolidate,’ GM spokeswoman Lynda Messina says.”
