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?

If you have an iPhone, you can pay $25 a year to upload all your ripped CDs to the cloud and play it all through your phone to your Bluetooth in your car. You need to use iTunes to upload it. Use a good program like Exact Audio Copy to rip to MP3. You can do lossless for the best quality, which is FLAC, but converting CDs to 320 kbps is close. Don’t rip it less than this. Bitrate is important. I have a huge library but don’t do flac. Although, the songs in my library match up to theirs and play lossless for me since they don’t store my actual file. I do have a lot of live concerts that also upload.
