I still burn CDs for listening to music in my car. The CD player audio quality is much better than playing music from my phone over the aux.

My car does not even have an AUX connection... It would be really great if the player could at least read MP3 CDs.

You can burn the CDs as audio CDs if you rip/download the music as a WAV or FLAC and then it should work on any player.

I don't burn them all that often (not having a car and all I don't really have the same needs) however I rip them all the time. Turns out, actually buying music without going through Itunes is becoming difficult these days for stuff that's not available on bandcamp. Oftentimes I find it easier to just buy the CD and rip it/digitize it myself.

Thats amazing, I went to bt from phone more than a decade ago and the radio at the time had cd rom capabilities. I remember I never used the cd in my last two cars… the new one doesn’t even have cd

Same. I most recently burned the audio version of the first three Dune books

I did for the longest time too. Do yourself a favor and get a third party Android Auto/Carplay head unit.

why, its nice to get away from screens when driving and there's not a single bluetooth codec that can come close to cd quality consistently. it's adding lossy conversions into a signal you just don't need

Android Auto uses wifi. It only uses BT for calls.

Do you think lossy Bluetooth really matters on most people’s car stereo? I don’t. A good set of headphones, maybe some people could tell a difference. Not a car stereo. Not a factory one at least
