Anybody able to give me advice or point me in the right direction please?

I've added a photo of our car stereo with a selection list of some of the music we have plugged into it via a USB. You can search up and down to select an album or a track.

Probably like most car stereos nowadays, once selected, it'll also give you a track by track read out of who the artist is and the song title.

What I'm looking for is a device that we can use in the Eriba that'll do much of the same thing, preferably portable. We have a music player in the Eriba but it doesn't give a readout for track selection or for artist and song.

Doesn't that mean you have to subscribe to a streaming service like spotify Steve? Also, you need to be on line.
We have all the music we own, downloaded onto USBs but at the moment, when in the Eriba, we can't find specific tracks except by trial and error.

No, we both have a modern android phone Steve. What you are describing is a similar method to the way we transfer phone photos onto a picture file on a laptop.

I took the Ludite route. Music transferred from CDs onto computer and then onto an SD card for the car and an MP3 player for portability.
I used to plug this into my computer speakers at work, still plug it into those I keep in the garage, and into either the radio or JBL speaker in the caravan. If I had stored them in the correct format I could have blue-toothed them to the JBL speaker.
The best MP3 player I had for ease of use was an old i-pod classic. I know have a generic one. Biggest issue was getting something with sufficient memory for about 300 CDs.

Yes, it is a bit dusty isn't it? It looked OK with the naked eye but the car hasn't had the once over since we got back as it's been employed in moving garden waste etc.

Thanks to all for your advice. So there isn't a straight forward music player that I can pick up from Currys that'll do what I want?

Going to have to find out more about this Bluetooth stuff.

Pepe-le-Pew:- Is there a particular reason for not wanting to use a mobile? It really is very straightforward and the display interface is likely to be better.

Only that I am still a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to mobile phones. I have to admit that since changing my phone earlier this year I'm getting a little better.

Since reading yours and other comments on this thread, I've looked up Blue Tooth pairing and also the fact that about 312 somgs will only take up about 1GB of storage.

I have about 6 or 7GB of free space on my phone so it's all starting to make sense...................................I think

Pete. So I guess your UE speakers have rechargable batteries?

Slowly getting there. HOW LOUD is the average Bluetooth speaker? Is 40 watts OK and is the volume controlled by the phone?

There are so many out there but they are all a little vague when it comes to watts output. OK, don't wish to blast out Mr and Mrs WeGo ToBed at 9pm when we are sitting out with some low level music and a glass of vino but on the other hand, if we've got visitors at home then why not hence our several music players and use the phone?

Roger, 40w is LOUD. Our Denon hi-fi amp at home used to be rated at 30w. We never had it on over 1/2 the max.
