    As you can see, that's the phone I have. I like it except for not being able to assign mp3's as alarms or alerts, and not being able to remove or change the AT&T banner.

    Good luck with whatever deck you decide to go with, I hope it works out for you.

D) use the napster account for no extra $$. E) and do all of this since my CD player quit and then not use the CD player LOL.

If I were going to do this I would try it via bluetooth simply because it's wireless and if I were a betting man I'd venture to say that there's likely more stereo's that are going to be BT capable than there are one's w/a USB port, not to mention interface issues. So I say get yourself a BT capable deck and transfer the files to it from your phone via BT and bump responsibly.
