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.

I take this approach for encoding oggs - in your case, since the copy is 
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.
