This may or may not be off topic, but you folks seem to know something 
about CDs, so I'll ask:
My friend has just gotten a Korean car--it's either a Hundai or a Kia, I 
don't remember, but
it has no CD player, but it does have a USB connection, which purports 
to be a sound input.
So the question: I would make some copies of CDs onto a flash drive, if 
I knew how! I would
prefer to use K3b to copy the CDs; do I have to format the flash drive, 
and if so with what
system? (I thought that flash drives come formatted with a Windows file 
system?)
And what other questions should I be asking, which I'm too uninformed to 
ask? And
what are the answers? BTW: I have never, in 20 years or more, ever 
gotten Audacity to do
anything for me, so that is out!

Thanx for any kind words and info!  --doug
