Can a car's cd player play dvd-r disks with mp3s on them?
My cd burner is acting crazy, but my dvd burner works fine. I'm going to be going on an hour and a half long drive, and I am wondering if a car's cd player can play dvd-r disks with mp3s on them. I am going to play it in a Lexus RX 330 made in 06.
How did people listen to music and watch movies etc. before the invention of the internet?
I was born in ‘61.As a teen I listened to radio stations like I do Spotify and Apple music and radio stations today.There were two kinds of primarily music playing radio stations back then for people like me:“Top 40” that played the top most popular songs on the charts in heavy rotation.“AOR” (album oriented rock) that played both the current hits of a wide variety of artists and selected cuts from their album releases.I usually ignored “Top 40” stations.Almost all “serious” AOR radio stations had late night or weekly shows where they highlighted new artists, really really rare songs from various artists, or bootleg (illicit) recordings of artists at concert performances and such. You could really hear a good variety of up and coming music that way.Then I would take that knowledge, go to a record store and check out the releases by the artists I had heard of. Music was about the same price as it is now on iTunes adjusted for inflation (or it seemed like it) so I would try to by a new album every week.It’s then take it home and play the crap out of it like I do now on my ipod.After I had a good idea of my favorite tracks, I’d make a 90 minute mix tape on “cassette” (see below) and had a huge collection of them that I’d carry around in my care in a case (see below) to play in my car stereo.For walkaround portability, until I was maybe 23 I only had a radio with headphones until the I bought a Walkman, which was a pretty portable cassette tape player, like a giant ipod (see below).Now I have 8000 + songs on my big 160 gig ipod in my car, and several 16 gig ipod shuffles that I choose from depending on my mood when I’m going to the gym or for a run or whatever.
Audi A6 stereo problem?
there IS a fuse on the back of the radio itself but I can't imagine why a battery replacement would blow the fuse. Less than a week ago someone (me) mentioned how easy it is to make a set of radio removal tools from your garden variety file folder frame (go to www.audiworld and use the search function for "radio tool"). pretty easy to pull the radio and check the fuse. Your indash cd player is a double-din height and IS part of the radio. The bad news is you will have to replace the whole thing. The good news is, a working used one should only run you around $100. (go to www.audifans.com and select "marketplace" and place an ad in the wanted section.) you'll have one in short order... IMPORTANT: make SURE you get the radio code. you'll need it to unlock the radio. IF you don't get the code, you can pay the $60 the dealers get to give you the code but you'll have to show them your registration and give them the serial # of the radio (write it down BEFORE you install the radio back into the car. It's clearly marked on the radio chassis). I feel your pain, you have a nice car and you miss your tunes !
