I got this Roidmi 2 bluetooth fm transmitter thingie because my car is all optical cables and future shit from 2004, impossible (or really expensive) to mod or replace the stereo fucking hell

Yeah I bought a pioneer radio myself, it took a while to get my USB organized correctly so it would play everything. Had to literally convert everything to MP3 and then sort everything by album rather than artist > album >songs, worse part is it doesn't name the album when quick scrolling

Buy a new head-unit.

There are cheap ones that'll read your ipod.

Pic-Related is what I have.

oh that sucks, I think mine uses folder names, not sure only tried briefly to test it out

My Sony one can hold up to 512 songs per-folder, which it counts as an album I assume. And up to 65535 songs I believe? That or 65535 albums, uncertain. Obvious reasons for those numbers...

I just dump all my music into folders numbered 0 through X and separate them by 512 each folder. Using shuffle by track and this works fine.

>>61013240
It probably orders them based on file modification time.

Finding out cheap head unit for $50, $30+ converter cable to fit into whole mess cabling my car exclude some bracket to fitting radio steering wheel control antenna etc... Fml , fm transmitter for me then?

>>61013694
Exactly, at least 100€ in extra cables, adapters and a big mess, if you can even find these parts for a 2004 car that was never popular for its audio equipment and stuff.

Could replace the whole car's stereo equipment for like... 600€. Not worth it at this point. FM transmitter was $15 off ebay.

>>61013632
Why would you do this to yourself?

>>61013240
Just plug in your phone bro. Route an AUX in the dashboard and you're golden.

>tfw fm transmitter is best option because I don't want to buy and install a new auxillary input capable radio/pay someone else to install it

I wired in an aux to the xm feed on a 10 year old car

It reads whatever is plugged in, no bullshit.All it cost me was a long 3.5mm cable I had lying around.

I have a dedicated modified ipod lying around with a 256gb ssd and a tethered Nexus 5 if I want to stream something

This was the cheapest and most effective setup out of all the bullshit out there.

>>61016133
it's easy though

the interference on the fm transmitter makes it a shit option imo

>>61013240
I just play music off of my phone.
