The Phatnoise Phatbox (also sold as the Kenwood Music Keg). This was a fantastic device before solid state memory was affordable. They took a laptop hard drive, built a cartridge for it, then coded an amazingly functional interface that allowed you to load and customize a music library how you want it organized, and on top of that they made it compatible with a huge number of cars and stereos by making it emulate a CD changer. Oh, and it plays every music format made, including FLAC. Even better was that a few years later some guys hacked it so you could upgrade the hard drive without paying their exorbitant markup. I bought mine in 2004 when the product began its decline, and still use it daily. 40 gigs of dedicated music with a full track/artist/album readout on the dash and direct access to albums just by typing the disc number on the head unit remote. My library is organized alphabetically by artist and chronologically by album. Plus super easy drag and drop playlist creation. I'm bummed they're discontinued, I've yet to see any other solution as easy to use and freely customizeable. When mine dies I'm going to be repeatedly frustrated by whatever else I use.
