My home address?

I have not once in my life downloaded or uploaded or sideloaded any music to anywhere at anytime in my whole life. I am not tech savvy in that way in the least.

I have the Youtube MP3 Converter on my desktop screen now but cannot download the programme.

yes, if you have a usb slot it should be simple to plug it in and select media on your radio

Great. I was able to successfully download the Youtube MP3 Converter by simply going to Extensions in Google Chrome and dragging the zip file to it. So I am now successfully (I think) have gone to Windows Media Player and I am starting the burning process of my CD-RW. Can I do the same for USB?
 
It's OK. Having successfully burned the CD the MP3 file of a song I downloaded to use as an experiment to see it is works I simply copy and pasted the song to the USB. So now if I put the USB into the cars USB port it will play even though it is an MP3 file? If I call up "USB" on the cars voice command it should play?

Now I am cooking on gas where else can I download music to Windows Media Player and then transfer to CD-RW or USB other than YouTube because some songs don't allow me to download because of the country I am in.

To those who are driving down what are everyone's plans (when do you plan on leaving etc) and how do you intend to manage fuel consumption? The last bit I know may sound daft but it is important. I don't want to run out just short of Newport Pagnell.

I am driving down and so far my only plan is to (stupid and perhaps desperate I know) use a coach as a sort of pacemaker. If I keep track of it I know I will get to Wembley in time. I have no idea what time I should be leaving or how many fuel stops I need.

Leave at 7am A1 all the way, fill your tank before you leave and you can top up at Peterborough on the way back (car and fuel efficiency dependent) or at the North Circular or Barnet services on your way in to London.

Park 3 tube stops away in the park and ride and you can tune it in and out and then straight into your car on the way back.

Why don't you just go and try it, instead of asking stupid f***ing questions on here.

Download some podcasts, they'll pass the time for you.

Also driving down Wembo. Figured I'd piggy back.

Does anyone know how to control the TEMPERATURE in my car? I like a 70 degree ambient climate (farenheit) and fancy it won't be quite that warm yet. I'm considering buying driving gloves, but wondering if there are other good options.

Get a small fire going in the footwell, the heat will rise up to keep your hands toasty.

Drive behind a bus and open the window. The ambient heat from the engine will keep you nice and toasty on the motorway.
