It really is v easy to rip music to computer save to usb then in options import to the cars hard drive. I'd recommend that as then there is nothing in the car to attract thieves etc or lose! You can also stream via Bluetooth off your phone. Options are endless. My media xl equipped Cooper doesn't quite perfectly control spotify but it moves up and down tracks in a playlist. V impressive.

The hard drive comes with the media xl pack I think.

 

[jeremybingham]

Yep that's right. Use it it is fantastic.

Yes std system is 2 door speakers and two underseata subs, vis boost has two more in the rear passenger side panels and the glorious hk system adds tweeters front and rear and a centre dash speaker plus 400 watt amp.
In my r56 I used a massive memory stick but made 3 sub folders labelled one a to h one I to o and then o on and put the album's in there by artist name. Savred hours scrolling through but the media xl seems to solve this.

Just buy a high capacity memory stick. Cheap and easy

I got one word for you. Spotify

You can stream music directly to your phone (and make the playlists you want available offline) for about 10$ a month.

Not sure about other countries but here in Sweden noone buys music anymore. Like the old saying: Once you go Spotify you never go back...

Or was that not the correct version?

Yes true it is handy

But with my galaxy mini I do find spotify v clunky. I can only move up or down tracks within an album or playlist can't move between them and my Bluetooth doent always connect. Very odd. Hence I prefer rip CD to memory stick then to usb. Mini girl I can write you instructions if you'd like.

Co2 slave is right if you have media xl you have the rather fantastic hard drive.

No Cd player in our minis; just play spotify direct either via aux or bluetooth!
