He says his stereo is ancient so it probably doesn't have an auxiliary port.
At least with cassette ones you can use an adaptor cassette. Or, get a decent deck and go back to tape, as I do, music sounds sweeter when you have to "work" on it and cherry-pick what you can fit in 60 or 90 minutes ;-)
It's not possible to burn "scrabled" CDs because the CD ISO9660 filesystem standard imposes writing the file directory in alphabetical order. You'd need a non-standard CD burner to get past that. However, you could use an utility to do a pseudo pre-scrambling of a list of files in the following way: read the list of files in any order, scramble it, and rename the files themselves using a numerical prefix.
E.g.
code:
Track1.mp3
Track2.mp3
Track3.mp3
Track4.mp3
Track5.mp3
...
Track666.mp3
will become (random example)
code:
001 - Track19.mp3
002 - Track500.mp3
003 - Track7.mp3
004 - Track123.mp3
...
666 - Track10.mp3
Of course, the order, even if random, will be fixed. The other solution is simply to prepare MP3 CDs for your car WITHOUT using folders: I found that most MP3-CD players handle those uglily anyway, and that if you want a true random hearing experience over ALL of the contents you have to prepare a disk with a "flat" root directory.
