Always audio CDs per standard CD players. NOT mp3 CDs. I would not recommend USB sticks as many don't want to plug them into their computers, fearing viruses. As we've discussed, CDs aren't used much anymore but having a few handy just in case is still a good idea. Mentors, as far as I know, can plug their headphones into your phone. I think I mentioned earlier that if your phone requires a lightning to headphone jack adapter, bring one. Also, when you hand your device to the mentor, make sure the volume isn't set at blow out ear drums level.fretman wrote: ↑Mon Oct 17, 2022 7:26 amRegarding these CDs, are these to be
1) "Red Book" Audio CDs that normally get played back on standard CD players?
or
2) Data CDs with MP3s on them in a normal computer file structure, similar to what would go on USB sticks?
If 2) then I'll probably just bring USB sticks. Amazon (USA) has a sale right now on ten 2GB sticks for $17. That's only $1.70 each!

Thank you, Paul
In Driver's Ed classes, you *might* encounter a teacher who will give feedback on songs by having students submit a CD with a lyric sheet wrapped around it with a rubberband. Each class has a CD boom box player for the teacher. If you are seeking feedback on lyrical songs, bring a few lyric sheets (get them on one page!) and rubberbands.
Also... If you are attending the Eat and Greet Mentor lunch, you may want to have 6 CDs put aside just for that as mentors may collect CDs from the members at tables.
Best,
Casey
