Some people report that old drives cope better with these discs, whether
that's because the optics are more tollerant or because they run at
lower speeds I don't know, but it may be worth a try.

for car use the ambient sound will outweigh any quality loss.
If you really want a digital copy then you could use a digital audio
link, but it's probably not worth it.
