[QUOTE="Retro Rocket, post: 8721207, member: 681405"] Ever since audio cassettes disappeared, I have not been able to find a satisfactory solution to listening to music in my vehicle. My truck has a CD player, but I don't use it because I don't like leaving CDs in the truck and most CDs contain only 1 or 2 songs I like anyway. I prefer making long playlists with only a few songs from each CD or vinyl record album. I tried downloading songs to an old Apple iPod and playing them through the truck radio. That worked, but the iPod is full and I can't add any more songs. The newer iPods only allow Apple music to be downloaded. I don't own any Apple music and refuse to pay a monthly fee for songs I already own. I tried a foreign-brand MP3 player (highly recommended by a website), but my truck's audio system didn't support it. I know a lot of people hook their smartphones to their vehicle's radio and listen that way. I don't own a smartphone and don't want one. That requires a monthly fee also (in addition to the cost of the smartphone). Not acceptable. When cassettes were in fashion, I just recorded my old records onto the cassettes and played them on the car radio. Very simple. No fees, no red tape from Apple or anyone else. Then the car manufacturers quit putting cassette players in cars. Aside from finding an old cassette player and installing it in my truck (which would devalue my truck at trade-in time), I don't know what to do. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
