I just leased a new 2024 Mazda CX5 Select. I have a very large collection of music CDs, and would like to be able to play them in my new car. I do not want to use a smart phone w/bluetooth. Is there any other way to do this? Thanks.

 

USB-stick

 

That's the approach I had wanted to use, but I was told at the dealership that I couldn't. They said I would have yo use a smart phone or an iPod in conjunction with Bluetooth. How would I use a USB Flash Drive?

 

Copy audio format files (MP3 WMA AAC OGG) to the USB-stick and put it in one of the USB ports of the car.
Choose USB as audio source in the infotainment.

 

The dealer is wrong... I have been doing this for a number of years.

 

When you want to listen to your CD-collection, you have to find a way to transfer your CD music to the USB stick in a format that the infotainment system supports.
Google is your friend!

 

I have found that the USB stick must be formatted with a unique name. I used to have a routine that used this format but I have lost it. Do you or anyone else have this routine?
Regards

 

Windows File System FAT32

 

Thanks to those who responded to my original question.
