re: Is it time to stop including CD players in autos?

Remember how awesome it was when CDs came out and you could listen to whatever song you wanted without having to fast forward or rewind? It was like voodoo or some shite.

The only reason to include them still is because of blu-ray systems in vehicles

If somebody came out with a new album, i wouldn't even know how to buy it, much less play it.

Old age... sucks

My Dodge has a hard drive. I uploaded my music library via USB key. I still buy CDs when they’re affordable. Easier for me to add them to the drive through the CD/DVD player than converting them to MP3s and so on.

Lexus had cassette players until 2009 soooo

I still buy and use CDs

There’s plenty of great music not available on streaming platforms, especially live concerts, etc.

And unless you’re downloading all your music, you’re listening to a compressed and low quality version.

I bought a Silverado back in 2016 and about month of driving it I realized that it didn’t have a CD player. With Spotify, pandora, YouTube music, apppe music etc, you can play any song that you can think of without digging through a CD case

I thought most new vehicles now didn’t include them? CarPlay is the go to for most people

The last 3 cars I've purchased new since 2016 have not had a CD player at all.. Come to think of it I haven't played a CD in probably 10 years
