That’s fine if you have a good data allowance but for anyone on a cheap limited data sim it’s not really an option, having several hundred songs on a USB stick will give a good selection of listening options plus there’s also the radio, I do agree that streaming is certainly the best option.

What year are we living in lol

Streaming music takes barely any data and what plan are you on!? for £10 a month you can get a 30gb plan through voxi, some of them have unlimited social video and streaming too.

15-20 years ago I spent hours and hours managing my own music and honestly its a complete waste of time when you have all these modern conveniences. I don't know maybe I'm a different gen but I'm closer to 40 than 30 lol

Not a problem for me 50gb per month that rolls over, just saying for anyone on a payg sim a usb stick offers a lot music storage, plus people of a certain age tend to be happy with the music they know

WOW!!

So to sum up......
You can use a USB (you can get a massive amount of music for those that have a lot of albums in digital format).
You can use an ipod (again a large amount of music).
You can get a cheap-n-cheerful Bluetooth adaptor to stream from your phone (data allowance and phone reception permitting).

For the non-iDrive cars you could have an Android Touchscreen installed and then have streaming music and navigation. Quite a bit more expensive though, although very functional.

It's all down to cost, circumstance and personal preference ..... peace

That just about sums it up

I.lose internet signal on my commute so streaming won't work for me.
