I miss those days

Aux cable is the pinnacle of car audio sharing technology.
Bluetooth is nice too since you can use the media controls on the steering wheel. In case your mix contains tracks which aren't fire. Ok I see where I made the mistake. Aux is sufficient.

Didn't see those myself until they already had USB

I had a lil radio emitter that plugged into the iPod so it would replace the local stations !

Discman on a tray with little bouncy shocks, in an attempt to keep the CD from skipping, but it didn’t matter because it would skip anyway.

I remember reading about that phone and wanting it badly. I ended up getting a Nexus One instead. The Nexus One was its own marvel.

I have one of those in my car today.

And this meant that car audio systems with a cassette slot were more future proof than car audio systems with only a cd slot.
It took me moving Country to get out of this situation, as my old Toyota was basically indestructible. Now I have Bluetooth, and the only CD is The Blues Brothers OST, which is stuck in the slot.

I remember weighing up either getting the iPhone at the time, the Nexus One, and the Nokia N900. It was a close call between the Nexus and the Nokia, mostly because I wanted those sweet sweet Android apps that everyone had, but ultimately I went with the N900 and it changed my life.
I could write my own Python on the train, I learned C and C++ over the course of a long car trip, and even started writing my own Apps on the device itself. Can you imagine that? On-device app development? In any language you want? It was unheard of at the time, and is relatively unheard of even now.

Just have a cd player that can play mp3 cds, over 100 songs per cd EZ

I had one of those too. I don't miss it at all, though, because the sound quality was dogshit. Now get off my lawn, damn kids!
Strange. The quality should be about the best a cassette or aux cable could deliver. They are basically just two electromagnets controlled by the audiosignal.
They are so simple there isn't a lot to do badly.

You may have missed the protective film on the magnet head. When I had one, it was a night and day difference once I got the protective film off.

I loved these things. Never understood how they worked (still don’t) but I didn’t care!

or push down an Aux Cassette, plug in your iPod/Walkman/Smartphone and listen to everything you could imagine.

I still use one whenever I drive my father's car. It's Bluetooth connected now, which does mean I have to charge it, but since phones removed the headphone jacks... /Shrug

Well if your car didn't have one you had to do something else. It's an easy concept to grasp lol

Those were great. They did a job for everyone that couldn’t afford the latest tech in the car. Now you’re lucky to get a head unit with an Aux plug, much less a CD player.
