Back when somebody could steal your whole music collection from your car.

I just set up a nice little wallet of cds :) it makes me happy to do, and some of the stuff isn't on spotify :)

Oh nice! Do you have a picture?

Of course!

I have a few in the car, but this is today's project! :) This case has been with me at least a decade judging by the fact I used it to cart music to play in the Oxfam shop while on the till.

Still saving up for that six disc changer. Gonna be sweet. Of course, someone has to sit in my S10's jump seat.

I remember no handing my S10, flipping through these books, dart hangin out of my mouth going about 30 over the speed limit (which was about all it could handle). Straight piped 4 cylinder. I was a terror in my late teens lol.

Just out for a rip.

Mp3 CDs helped a little, but not entirely

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 months ago

Whether your car supported them is another matter...

USB is brilliant in comparison, hundreds of songs and dozens of albums all on a stick that is a fraction of the size of a single CD case.

And if all the files metadata are well curated, it's a breeze to find what you want to listen to.

I have a small USB stick always plugged in the car (barely sticks out of the port) and I can listen to whatever I want without using mobile data or having to pair my phone.

Current car (2016) has a hard drive, it'll auto-rip any disc you put in. But only from disc (I think).

They should've had this in 2000, by 2016 it was too late...it would take forever to rip all my stuff that way.
