I know this seems very basic to most people but ive largely shunned technology, or change in general. I still buy cds. I dont know shit about mp3s or bluetooth or any of that. Problem is my new truck doesnt have a cd player and i want to listen to my shit instead of satellite radio. So right now im going through the tedious proccess of ripping all of my cds onto an external hard drive. After i do that, if i can copy it all onto a thumb drive, can i just plug that fucker into my dash and my shit will show up on my "infotainment screen" or do i need to put it all onto a micro sd card, put that in my phone, and hook my phone up to the truck?

You could try a youtubetomp3 downloader if you want to manually get songs but it would cut out the need to buy/rip CDs then copy them.

No don’t do this, they are low bitrate MP3 in most cases.

I'd rather that than sit in silence or listen to shitty radio

True, but there are many better ways.

I already have the cds. Downloading hundreds of albums would be expensive im sure.

Fair enough. I just do this when I want to make a mixed album instead of listening to the same band/songs

Here's a CRAZY idea: install a CD player in your car.

Aside from something like what was proposed before, that id have to mount sonewhere hoakey, thats not an option. Its not like the old days where you can go to fucking car toys or whatever and have them swap out the stock stereo with whateverthefuck cd player sony xplod or some shit. The radio/ infotainment thing in the truck is so tied into everything, you just cant do that. First thing i looked into.
