I've been using a USB flash drive with my MP3s on it in my car for a long time. I still don't really want to use streaming all the time, because I sometimes drive in places where I have a poor cell signal.  Also, for my car, I have to plug my car in and use Android Auto, which I don't always feel like doing. I do have a USB wireless Android Auto adapter I can use with my car to use it wirelessly, but lately I haven't been using that very often.  I was concerned the USB wireless adapter was draining battery power when my car engine was turned off, but I think that might not actually be the case.  Also, normally, to save battery power, I don't have bluetooth enabled on my phone unless I'm actively using it (i.e., if I'm waring my smart watch)..
