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.). |
In a way it's already obsolete. When I get in my car my $50 Galaxy J7 phone automatically pairs to its bluetooth and in some ways it's easier to play audio from the phone - navigating a 128GB flash drive with even a few hundred audio files on the car's system can be cumbersome. Plus for some reason my car's <<| button only returns to the beginning of the track, not to previous track which is insanely annoying. It is pretty slick for audiobooks though where navigation is minimal.
