Ok, I havnt voted, since the option i would go for, isnt really there... The closes i would get is a combination of 3 and the ipod.... but even that would be unaccurate.
Most of my music is stored on computer, my audigy2 is connected to the Hi-Fi (5.1) and the hi-fi has speakers routed through the whole house.... (most stereo, the living areas and my office is 5.1) If i need to travel and take music with... its easy enough to dump some mp3's onto a rewritable and take it with (Car radio supports Mp3).
Since its illegal in South Africa to carry coppied CD's (Music or Video) around, that you do not own the copyright to, i tend to only use 1 rewritable CD with Mp3's on, in the case of emergency i can always just lock my loader and claim that i am listening radio, which the player jumps to as soon as i lock the loader...
My car radio face moves down to reveal the loader, but i broke my eject button, and to fix it, mounted another button close to my gears that now ejects. Its a hidden button, so it suits me fine. They can eject all they like, IF they even get to unlock the face, so they can see the loader.
But i do think the pole needs an option for those of us who has more music than we know what to do with... mine wont fit on an ipod <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
