      I’m kinda/sorta there now. The factory media console in my car “understands” mp3 files on a USB flash drive. Why Nissan decided to go with the most cursed UI/UX imaginable to navigate this is beyond me. It’s practically useless. I would love to slap in a 1990’s vintage Pioneer head unit - with mp3 capability - and call it a day.

        FLAC is where it’s at. Oddly, most of the head units that understand FLAC don’t have CD drives at all. If it has a CD drive still, it probably only understands MP3.

        Which is one response to the question of “why would you encode an MP3 at a high bitrate when you can just use FLAC?” It’s because I had a car that didn’t FLAC.
