    • This quasi-concept album (the only of its kind) from these Vermonters finally showcased their ability to convey a message with a studio album, whereas previously they only succeeded in doing so live.

    • The Life Pursuit is a sort of Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. You get Belle & Sebastian's peanut butter (its wistful, often irresistible pop) dipped in a 'Have A Nice Day!' and glam 70s chocol

More Car Makers Readying iPod Integration in Models

Tuesday, September 6th, 2005 at 3:00 PM - by Brad Gibson

Apple Computer announced Wednesday car makers Acura, Audi, Honda and Volkswagen will provide integration into the car stereos of their 2006 models so customers can use their iPods on the move.

The Honda and Acura Music Link iPod integrations will be the first to include text-to-speech capabilities or VoiceID, which is used to search for playlists, artist and album names or genre information. Acura and Honda will feature iPod integration in the majority of their lineup beginning later this year.

Apple said that beginning in November, Audi will feature iPod integration in its A3, A4 and TT models and that Volkswagen would offer iPod integration for the majority of its 2006 US lineup.

Apple said that there are now 15 car companies around the world offering iPod integration, and more than 5 million cars will ship with iPod support in the US in 2006.

"Car companies are embracing the iPod, and over 30% of the cars sold in the US in 2006 will offer iPod integration," said Greg Joswiak, Apple's vice president of Worldwide iPod Product Marketing, in a prepared statement.
