The radio of my car (bought in 2020) begs to differ.
Then you’re either transcoding when burning the CD or plugging in a modern player via aux, aren’t you?
I understand why people might not want a music library in FLAC, but just pre-transcoding everything to MP3 in 2025 just seems silly
I use, depending on mood or circumstances, a SD cars with a dozen GB of MP3, or use Finamp on my phone via Android Auto.
My collection is still made exclusively of MP3, mainly because it’s a large-ish collection of pretty high quality files (mostly LAME V0) with all the tags just right (Picard+beet and a ton of work).
I curated this over the years, it sounds more than good enough on my hardware, and I don’t feel like throwing the whole thing away because something a little fancier came along, especially if in this day and age it still means taking a loss in terms of compatibility.
Both with the car, and with my Yahama network receiver/amplifier. The car is relatively new (2020) the amplifier is a little more seasoned, but it can direct play mp3, while I’d have to transcode opus.
Someone shoot me the day I change HiFi hardware over codecs.
With this being said, I’m not sure I’d transcode Opus into MP3 on purpose.
Given you can buy a car made in the 1950s in 2020, that statement is worth about as much as the dump I just took
Only if you think I’m here to screw you over.
It was a new car. A Skoda Fabia. Ordered in January, delivered in May after the first lockdown. The autoradio supports AAC, MP3, FLAC, WMA and vorbis.
And I do use the SD slot, with a dozen GB of MP3. Anything fancier does not make much sense in a car.
