Donna Pittman of TV station KMBC in Kansas City, MO recently filed a story on the popularity of Playaway at the Kansas City (Kansas) Public Library. We were particularly pleased to see her mention that, if you're lucky enough to have a car stereo with an auxiliary input jack, you can plug in a Playaway and listen over your car's speakers.
