How do today's streamers actually listen to music in classic cars?

Well, not everyone wants to listen to music in old cars; for many, the sound of the engine and the technology is enough. However, those who travel longer distances in a car from this side of the seventies will perhaps still like the idea of enjoying some musical entertainment.
But what does the modern streamer and downloader do in the face of cassette players and CD slots? Fewer and fewer people still own classic sound carriers.
Those of us who grew up with vinyl records (45 or 33 rpm) and CDs, who composed our own mix tapes and have huge music libraries are of course fine, but the modern Spotify and YouTube user has to capitulate. Or have the music dripped into their ears directly from their cell phone via earplugs. But this actually means that an interesting aspect of the twenty- to fifty-year-old cars, in which the stereo system was one of the most important accessories, is lost.
And, for all those who still drilled holes in the panels back then and connected the power to the fitted radio/tape combination unit themselves - today's generation can no longer even imagine such a thing ...
