Downloads are mostly Freegal so could theoretically be done on any device with a browser, but PC seems much easier, and same for TV or Youtube recordings where I usually keep the whole recording on the PC but extract the much smaller audio file <snip>
My everyday-driving vehicle is 16 model-years old. All that it has is an AM/FM stereo and a CD player (which quit working shortly after the warranty expired ).

I had to rent a car a little less than a year and a half ago. The electronics in it blew my mind--I literally did not know where to turn the stereo on!

So that's where I'm "coming from". When you explained why you liked downloading to a PC, it made great sense, once I learned what kind of capabilities that your car's audio system has. I wonder what kind of issues that you will have when USB becomes obsolete, though.

(Sometime, when it's relevant, I'll tell you all about the two antique vehicles that I own. I am almost certain that even an AM radio was not available in the older vehicle. The other vehicle had a radio (probably AM only) as an option. It used vacuum tubes.).
