MP3 is good enough for my ears on the equipment I can afford to buy. I use MP3tag to fix the tags and to embed the all-important album art.

Mp3 is pretty good - but there's really no downside to having slighlty better, albeit not in the car. Ok more discspace but I've got a vast amount of music without problem - at least with a proper hard disc. Ssds are smaller granted

I agree but be aware that there's a lot of malware out in there in "free" downloads.

Isn't that on the flip side of "Fireflies" by Owl City?

I have a swanky new car, but this has thrown up a problem *first World*.

I own approximately 600+ CD's, yet the stereo *see infotainment system* doesn't have a CD player *poor form*, it does however have 2x SD card slots in the glove box which one assumes is to play sum'O' dat muzak !

But how do I transfer my CD's to SD card, prefer not to go anywhere near my laptop as it is roughly as old as @postman & almost as temperamental. (Sorry postie, I needed a name & yours as good as any).

Is there any hardware such as a CD/Radio system that can do this job or should I just buy a new laptop ?

Thanks.

One wonders why they insisted on SD card slots and not the more ubiquitous USB A female slot?

*Assuming* it plays MP3 files, then you could download from Amazon, Bandcamp, 7Digital, or some other music store (but not Itunes)

In general, the only way to get your CD's onto SD cards is to rip the CD's to mp3 and copy the files that way, although new laptops increasingly don't come with CD drives...

Another approach is to use a CD ripping service eg http://www.ripcaster.co.uk/node/6/ who do all the work for you. At around £1/CD it's pretty good value. There seem to be a few companies to choose from.

I assume they work by just scanning the barcodes and only actually ripping CDs they haven't ripped previously

Far too technical for me.

An SD to USB converter plug is one option.
