    And this meant that car audio systems with a cassette slot were more future proof than car audio systems with only a cd slot.

        Bluetooth is nice too since you can use the media controls on the steering wheel. In case your mix contains tracks which aren’t fire. Ok I see where I made the mistake. Aux is sufficient.

      It took me moving Country to get out of this situation, as my old Toyota was basically indestructible. Now I have Bluetooth, and the only CD is The Blues Brothers OST, which is stuck in the slot.

        or push down an Aux Cassette, plug in your iPod/Walkman/Smartphone and listen to everything you could imagine.

          Well if your car didn’t have one you had to do something else. It’s an easy concept to grasp lol

      • I’m kinda/sorta there now. The factory media console in my car “understands” mp3 files on a USB flash drive. Why Nissan decided to go with the most cursed UI/UX imaginable to navigate this is beyond me. It’s practically useless. I would love to slap in a 1990’s vintage Pioneer head unit - with mp3 capability - and call it a day.

          FLAC is where it’s at. Oddly, most of the head units that understand FLAC don’t have CD drives at all. If it has a CD drive still, it probably only understands MP3.

          Which is one response to the question of “why would you encode an MP3 at a high bitrate when you can just use FLAC?” It’s because I had a car that didn’t FLAC.
