Accessory Jukebox

What kind of car audio system am I looking for when I want a touch screen that pulls up jukebox-like menu?

the songs are all downloaded so you don't need CD's, but I don't think it's an IPod accessory...the screen flips out. Where would I begin looking??

Ahh, a carputer.

One idea is to have a "non-hard drive" based computer that runs standalone Windows XP from a Bootable USB drive that runs the music player of your choice using plugins.

Your MP3's are stored on another USB drive that can be removed for editing.

This all ties into your sound system (amp subs/speakers).

No hard drive means nothing will crash. A touch screen display is really the only other peice of equipment needed that can be custom mounted in your dash as you say.

Look up BartPE and Sherpya. These two guys found a way to run the full GUI of Windows XP on a USB drive (under 600 Mb).

A shuttle style computer is all you need for the computer.
