And this meant that car audio systems with a cassette slot were more future proof than car audio systems with only a cd slot.

Aux cable is the pinnacle of car audio sharing technology.

Until the to the fucking jacks out of the phones

Bluetooth is nice too since you can use the media controls on the steering wheel. In case your mix contains tracks which aren't fire. Ok I see where I made the mistake. Aux is sufficient.

Not a problem I've ever had.

Didn't see those myself until they already had USB

It took me moving Country to get out of this situation, as my old Toyota was basically indestructible. Now I have Bluetooth, and the only CD is The Blues Brothers OST, which is stuck in the slot.

I’m Gonna Be and Mr Brightside are the Scylla and Charybdis of wedding discos. Also, for some reason there are always guys in kilts.

Just have a cd player that can play mp3 cds, over 100 songs per cd EZ

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

or push down an Aux Cassette, plug in your iPod/Walkman/Smartphone and listen to everything you could imagine.

[–] Amanduh@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well if your car didn't have one you had to do something else. It's an easy concept to grasp lol

I'm kinda/sorta there now. The factory media console in my car "understands" mp3 files on a USB flash drive. Why Nissan decided to go with the most cursed UI/UX imaginable to navigate this is beyond me. It's practically useless. I would love to slap in a 1990's vintage Pioneer head unit - with mp3 capability - and call it a day.

FLAC is where it's at. Oddly, most of the head units that understand FLAC don't have CD drives at all. If it has a CD drive still, it probably only understands MP3.

Which is one response to the question of "why would you encode an MP3 at a high bitrate when you can just use FLAC?" It's because I had a car that didn't FLAC.
