Apologies for second post on the same subject, but first poet didn’t have full title, so thought some people might have missed it.

There are some portable Bluetooth cd players around for about £40.00.

Just wondered if anyone has tried these in their Superb.

My iPhone works fine on Bluetooth in my car, so can’t see why these cd players wouldn’t, but would be interested in anyone who might have tried one of these portable Bluetooth cd players.

Many thanks.

Tim.

Interesting. What’s the need / desire to have a portable CD player in the car?

Edit. OK. Just read your original post.

I’d doubt it would connect to the car as I would think they are primarily designed to connect to headphones.

What type of head unit do you have?

What about a USB one? Might come up in the media menu then. No idea if they’d talk to each other though

Thanks for replies.

There is no usb socket on my system unfortunately.

It has Skoda multi media written on it, if that’s what you mean by the head unit.

Thanks again.

I stupidly reply in here as well ...

Don't know how much can be of help, but years ago, when I could not afford a car CD unit, I would use my Discman with an adapter cassette to my removable radio* but the CD unit in itself requires its place fairly free from vibrations and also you must check it can work in any position ... I honestly do not know how much of an advantage it would be. I am certainly NOT going back.

I miss my CD collection a lot, and I dislike playlists spotify and the buch, and that is why I am slowly, slowly passing the stuff to digital and from there to USB sticks. Cumbersome, but is the end of an era and must go with it.

Like Penpusher above, woman is more than happy see all my CDs disappear, but I am still wondering how to dispose of them....

An unexpected advantage of this ordeal is that I will get rid of all car CD units entirely, and then you can "duplicate" the USB sticks and ran them through a media receiver, which is much cheaper lighter and simpler than a proper CD unit ...

* I wonder how this contraption would sound to a young person today ... 😁

Personally I’d get on with digitalising them to mp3, be much easier and you have a backup should the CD go funky

I went against MP3, once you compress the file you lose some quality, better not to ... after some test tries, passing files from audio CD to various formats, I settled on FLAC as a compromise between file size, quality, and, as I mentioned, the fact that you do not apply compression.

If going MP3, I would advice at least 320 or above, at lower there is some ... like chopping in the higher frequencies, unpleasant. This happens with some of mine older MP3s which I am replacing, if I find a better quality source, of course.
