My friend and I got an old optiplex and upgraded it with a burner so we can make CDs. It's actually quite nice to have a physical medium for music in the car, and make mixes for different moods that you can switch between. We also know some people with older cars that only have CD and radio or the Bluetooth sucks so we'll make CDs for them too. Tons of fun and you can buy a usb CD / DVD burner for like $10 or $15 and CD-Rs are fairly cheap.

Building a dedicated machine for this is such a cool idea. It’s a great reminder that 'outdated' tech still has so much value and can bring people together. Those friends with the older cars are lucky to have you!
