Sometimes it can get really difficult.
Technology takes off and leaves me in the dust.
My CD books are useless in my new car because it does not have a CD player.
I hate that. :(
Wow, I would too! Does it have any other "external input" option, maybe a mini audio "AUX" input jack, or a USB socket that allows use of a Flash drive with MP3 files on it?
If you still have a computer with a CD ROM (or blueray etc) you can rip them to MP3 and stream them to a more modern car stereo or aux input. Sheesh I remember spending 100s of hours burning my CDs to MP3. Now I have no idea where my CDs are even stored. Maybe I gave them away.
Just got myself a new (very used, but new to me). Runs great. But not even bluetooth. CD changer in the trunk. Very 1999 tech. I am searching for a low cost method to convert it to bluetooth. There is one dash mount thingy that broadcasts into one of the radio channels and mirrors to a phone.
Rip your books to usb
Use this to convert your CDs into MP3s for your USB or phone, etc...
(Or try any open source “CD ripper”; I don’t think Nero Burning ROM is still available, but you could try that too.)
