What's a "large" buffer?

I am proud to say that a google search for 2007 prius mp3 buffer yields my thread as a first result
A buffer that buffers more than 10 seconds worth of music would be large (?)

Hi, I think the original question was to use bluetooth connection to the stereos/headset or similar, so no FM transmit needed here. BTW, I wouldn't call analog radio waves a stream

as it stands you are using a 1.5 to drag half a tonne of batteries around.
that was exactly my thoughts but thought it wasn't necessary to say that (sooner or later everybody will do the math when they start to think how much gasoline the car consumes ).

Technically this will work at high speeds, but the doppler effect makes the music sound like trash.

The 1,5 at high speeds (75-78 mph) gets 46 mpg (5.11 lt/100 km) at 50 F emitting almost zero CO2. In the suburbs 55 mpg is more like it.

Thanks for playing though

Ok so what's the N900's buffer?

And what's the Droid's buffer?

Why isn't that a problem for Rafio waves, are the much different than internet packet waves? Does the network's starting λ change this?

We're talking about 75 mph here?

I can stream radio through my E63 (edge) moving along the backroads of San Luis Obispo (where coverage is spotty at best) and it works just fine. I don't think the cell towers are going to have much issue if t-mobile shows a strong signal along the way. I am looking forward for my 900 to do just the same thing around here.

No, they'd just be erased...from existence.

Yiannis, a lot of people here are just joking around based on your qualification "high speed". The only issue you would have is the 3G cell network handoff/switching. That's why they say you need a big buffer, so that your stream keeps playing while the download is interrupted.

The Doppler comment was one such joke. The effect for audio wouldn't apply as you are traveling at the same speed as the source. The bit about the car behind you getting it is just a joke, as well. Even a Prius can't violate the relevant laws of physics.

It should work OK up to near light speed, just keep circling...

You'll need a good data plan though?!
