Look up Morse Gen on Google.  It will send CW from a text file and 
whatever speed you desire.  It will save it as a .wav file which you can 
burn onto a CD and listen to in your vehicle.

Last time I drove down to Atascadero [~5 hrs] to visit my college 
roommate and hit the Cal Poly Book store to replenish clothing [OK ... 
and drink a little wine, the wine business in the Cal. Central Coast 
area is huge], I fed it an e-book I'd bought, and "read" it in CW all 
the way down and back.  Took 6 CD's -- 3 down, 3 back.  Really ... as in 
"really really really" ... beats talk radio :-)

Even sent a couple of CDs I made of the letters we put into the packages 
we sent to an adopted troop in Afghanistan who was building a K2 and 
working towards a ticket.
