The closest thing to what you're talking about is Kenwood's Excelon Music Keg. It uses a 10gb hard drive in a removable cartridge that you shuttle between a USB dock on your computer and a gizmo in your car about the size of a power amp. It's not exactly cheap, at $800 or so, and data transfer rates will be very slow, since it only uses USB, and not Firewire or USB 2.0. You really would be better off burning CDs. It's only about $100 for a decent burner if you don't have one, and the newer MP3 head units can read CD-RWs, so you won't have a pile of old discs lying around. Personally, I have a 5gb iPod. It holds about 1000 songs, I can transfer a CD's worth of music to it in 15 seconds, and I just play it through the cassette deck.
