Receiving New Car

[jennyjoan]

There is no cd player in radio of car.  I asked dealer and he said that from 2017 to 2018.  CDs have been omitted because streaming can be done via USB and aux which I don't have a baldy.  I think I can buy a little CD player but I guess it would need usb whatever ports. I have seen them for Fourteen pounds.  I do like the CD player.  Would this be ok

don't know if you can see this post   so i will bump bump - sorry

 

BUMP

I think it depends on the make of the car - my husbands car is 2 years old and has a CD player and streaming service built in.

Maybe read this - is it really worth it - you have said you don't actually drive much so is the extra expense value for money?

rip your CDs to a music folder on a USB drive then plug that in.

That's exactly what I did, TTT.  I have a selection of USB drives loaded with music.

It's easy - when you know how, and I'm not sure JJ does

[jennyjoan]

No JJ doesn't know

[calmck]

Maybe someone can give jj a simple explanation of how to do this

[Countrylover]

Don't worry about it JJ.  I'm just like you with technical issues.  Fortunately I have a son who's a whiz kid with any type of tech, mechanics and electronics.  He thinks im an idiot!!  He's probably right! :0))

[jennyjoan]

Many years ago. Just after leaving work. I knew how to do it and burnt about 15 CDs with all my favourite singers and music but i wouldn't now

[barry1010]

JJ, has your pc got a cd drive?

[jennyjoan]

I was just thinking of wee basic cd player and sticking it into right port which is at bottom radio 

[jennyjoan]

Yes bar. But since repairs are different. I would be afraid of knocking things outta whack footering and meddling

[Redhelen72]

Go to Halfords on Boucher road - it will cost you a bit more but I am sure they will help you out with a CD player

[barry1010]

If I lived near you I'd try and sort it out for you, JJ.

[ToraToraTora]

If you insert your USB thumbdrive then do what the video says but before you rip set the target to the USB drive in "rip settings" - he covers that in the video.

Barry - I do live near Jenny but I think she likes to do things herself

[barry1010]

But she does pay people to sort her tech stuff out.  I wouldn't accept payment, before anyone gets the wrong idea

I have a USB adapter which goes in cig lighter.

[barry1010]

My 14 year old Hyundai has USB ports, I'm fairly sue JJs has USB ports too
