Hope you are all surfing the lockdown without loosing your minds.

I have decided to build myself a new music library for the Z, but since I am restricted to USB drives only, I will need to download the music in MP3 format.

Now it has been many years since I have had to do this, and previously used sites such as limewire

What are the recommendations for sites to downloads high quality music from. I have no issue with paying for the downloads, but struggling to find anywhere that seems legitimate.

Cheers in advance.

Paul

Where do you as an end user go to on that site?

I had a similar (identical) problem with my 2016 - according to some sites it was possible to code it using Bimmercode (hint - it wasn't).

I found a local guy near me (East London/Essex Borders) - I contacted him with my chassis number so he could check whether it was possible (BMW had fitted a combox on some later model years but hadn't enabled it via the coding - probably to make more money). He used a laptop and half an hour later I had Bluetooth streaming from an android phone - might be worth ringing round some BMW coders

Apologies.

Ah thanks, was impressed that there was a rich selection of Max Bygraves albums!

I made the decision to (despite my historical prejudice) stick with iPhones run ALAC through the USB port.

I rip my CDs into ALAC format..I suspect even in my car I'm not going to hear the advantage of a 24bit FLAC over 16 bit FLAC..

Something like this should do the trick and will allow you to stream directly from any device.

You may also require a ground loop supressor if you can hear a whine through the speakers

My 2010 E89 plays the usb flash drive and the iphone from the console ports. Both itune are loaded.
The idrive seems a bit lost to start but once you make enough selections to get it going it plays through like a champ if I remember right...yes, that's right children, when I was young we used to drive our cars while listening to music to places where we would gather and mingle with one another.

About three or four years ago, I decided to upgrade from an early 3G Huawei phone which, by then had got a bit slow and clunky, but I'd used it a lot to play back audio tracks via the 3.5mm aux jack. However, I just could not get the new Alcatel phone to play the same audio files via the aux line. According to something I read online, this was a safety feature of the phone which would only allow the tracks to be played back through the headsets supplied with the phone. How this worked, I do not know. But within a year or so, I'd managed to trash the Alcatel (which I thought was a bit rubbish anyway), gone back to Huawei and was able to listen to my recorded music once again.
