Getting music in new car no cd

Does it at least have a radio? That's what I like to do anyway. It's fun listening to local stations, gives a little feel for the area and you hear new stuff sometimes.

Other than that, have a kid help you out.

Get out the owner's manual. Find the section on "entertainment" or whatever they call it. You can probably just use a USB stick or an inexpensive mp3 player. Put your CD's on that media. Get a millenial to help you.

Hey, at 72 I am also from the 8 track era and before. The method above works for me. I built a song list, created several playlist, and loaded it on my iPhone. Now I can just hit the bluetooth button on my truck audio system, pick up my phone, press the home button on my phone and say "siri, play my oldies playlist", and sit back and listen to my old 50's/60's rock and roll music. Or my country oldies playlist, Or any particular artist, Or any particular song. Or .....

year and model of your new vehicle please?

Never mind. Saw your second post.

So what vehicle and stero? I didn’t see any second post. Difficult to give an answer without a starting point.

The easiest way is to move all your CDs to a USB drive using a built-in media program or something like Nero. The new radio should allow you to play random tracks from your entire collection. Sony's random number generator seems to favor Barbra Streisand.

Where do I get the music from if no CD player in new car.

IF.....you already have a large collection of CD's, the best option might be to "upgrade" the in-dash radio head to one that DOES have a CD player.

BUT....do a really good inspection and if this really is a "new" car, ask the dealer first. A couple of my recent new cars did have a single CD player built-in but it was really not obvious unless you looked real close.

Many options. In another forum I think you ask if there was a plug in CD player (yes but I do not know if they will work with your system) (There may be an alternative way to make some of 'em work with your system I just thought of.. If the radio also has an AUX in some of the USB players have line out).

Rip the CD to a Memory Stick as MP3
Rip it to your phone as MP3
Plug the Device in via USB and it should play.

Now explain to an 8 track person how to do all that!
