Is it possible to listen to the mp3s stored on the SD card of my Treo 650 through my car stereo?

Yes, one of our members - Kwan - uses an FM Transmitter to connect to the car stereo.

The best option is to do a direct cable connection if you have an AUX input to your car stereo. Otherwise, an FM transmitter is the next best solution, unless your stereo has a cassette player. In that case you could use a casette adapter.

Would the cassette player option be better than the FM transmitter option?

Yes, because it doesn't have the issue of FM interference from strong radio station signals. Also, no power from batteries or adapter needed for a cassette adapter. I think the only downside to it is the wire going from it to your Treo.

I agree w/ Alex -- a cassette will provide you with a better and more consistent signal. So, in order of quality:

1. Aux out
2. Cassette
3. FM Adapter

A good friend of mine just purchased his first iPod -- and he's using a cassette adapter in his car. He couldn't be happier with the quality. The Treo will be no different.
