Go for option 3, but buy a car stereo that can read directly from SD
cards and USB sticks. These are becoming increasingly common, e.g.

My - that's a clever-looking piece of kit !
I see it also takes SD cards....

Pardon my ignorance, but is it possible to organise mp3 files on an
sd-card or USB-stick so that they look like folders - as in one folder

Yes.


Does the player then become a sort of 'digital jukebox'? - in that you
could select a folder and play it ?

I guess that would depend on the player.
