Thanks to Greggspies for pointing out that voice commands also work with media saved on USB stick. From user manual:
Commands for radio and media player device control are shown below.
Tap on steering wheel voice icon and say one of the following commands:
• "Media" - starts a dialogue for media and radio and shows examples of commands.
• "Play [artist]" - plays back music by the selected artist.
• "Play [song title]" - plays back the selected song.
• "Play [song title] from [album]" - plays back the selected song from the selected album.
No I'm not wrong. I remember it vividly. The vinyl obsession was about quality of sound. It did appear at the time that it was the older generation who were stuck in their ways and unable to adapt to newfangled things. I was happy with my new CD player.Oldie wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 2:48 pm Think you are wrong there blastpipe, the vinyl obsession was about nostalgia - the authentication of the product against needle creating all the other sounds, whereas the CD lost all that through lack of contact - and why vinyl is back in vogue, just a bit difficult playing vinyl whilst driving - think the needle would skip a bit, which would ruin the play? Loved vinyl, all the special limited edition colours, the special limited edition artistry - and - often a true investment - streaming music - ok listening to, just about - anything else from it - not a sausage?
You missed the key point earlier though that CDs are digital conversions and are not PURE.

I'm afraid you're wrong again Oldie. The argument for vinyl is simple, Analogue to Analogue is as pure as you can get. Direct cuts and half speed masters being the pinnacle of Analogue recording. CDs whether Analogue to digital as the early ones were or now direct digital recordings is what purists argue about. Clearly you are not an audiophile.

I always listen to my music with my eyes closed, which, for the time being at least, makes truly listening to music while driving a non- starter

As stated before, but guess some folk only read what they want to, love vinyl and would always choose to play vinyl over CD but its a bit difficult in a car - and with all the bluster some dish out hear like "clearly not an audiophile", really!!! - the point was always a personal one, which was, still wish CD players were fitted in cars - that's all!!!
