Cd's into zip drive so I can play them in new car
How do I get cd's to a zip drive, so I can play them in our newer car that has no CD player.

easy peasy. first cars have a usb port, not a zip drive, so it's a "thumb" drive your looking for
1) put your CD's on either Itunes or Google play through your laptop. then copy them to a thumb drive and plug it into the USB port on the car.
2) just plug your ipod into the usb port and in most new vehicles it can be accessed just like you do on the ipod.
The above work on my 2015 Denali, my 2020 acura mdx a neighbors accord and our daughters ford edge.
or (3), there are a still a few cars with single slot CD drives either std or available to install that integrate with the existing audio. Some Acuras (our 2020 MDX has a CD drive)and audi has a CD drive, Honda has a CD drive you can install on many models. you might check out that option.
On the Acura I have an ipod plugged in, but I'm in the process of copying my CD's to the HDD in the car, HDD capacity 500GB, takes about 5-10 minutes to copy a CD to the HDD, so it's going pretty fast.
Or last option, for <$50 you can get a cd player that runs on 12V or usb and has audio out that will plug into many of the new cars audio in port. Virtually all cars I've seen with no CD player have in addtion to a USB port a analog audio input jack.
