Chris' careful attention to little details in his explanation makes hia one of the clearest explainers I've encountered -- particularly for us seniors. One further question that I have is how to then automatically and continuously play a whole series (or album full) of musical files transferred to the USB.

Many thanks Chris for your clear explanation, much appreciated. I have a question. I have acquired an external mini DVD player because I have some mini DVDs that need copying to my computer. I was going to connect the mini DVD player to my laptop via a HDMI cable since I have a HDMI port on the laptop and the mini DVD player and then see if I can copy over to a USB memory stick. Would this be the correct way of doing it?
@cwtek1

Unfortunately the HDMI on your laptop is an output and not an input so I’m afraid this will not work. You need to purchase a video capture device with a HDMI port.

You need to convert the tracks on the disc to mp3 files to get them to play on the USB, the cda file is just a small file which contains technical information rather than music, you can use iTunes to do this , take a look at this video in the link for more details on how to do this kzread.info/dash/bejne/YpuVvK59mtCdqJM.html

I use Brasero or K3b out of linux. or you can simply grab the files from your reader and copy them directly to your stick via nemo. Basically a no-brainer under linux. You may need admin rights though. I haven't booted any flavor of windows in over 20 years though. btw brasero/K3b doesn't cost you a nickel. but you DO need to know something about computers (as linux targets people that know something).
