Seriously, though. They still sell CDs? You need to rip everything to digital and upload the entire thing to Google Play for free. Then stream it all off their app for free.
Better yet, rip everything and move it to a $20 flash drive. Plug the flash drive into the USB port in your car/truck. You should be able to play everything from that.

My 2006 car had a cassette player and CD. It must have been the last one with cassette; I hadn’t owned one in a decade.

My 2016 car has CD and auto links to phone, I played a a CD a few times when I first got the car, but it’s all streaming and XM now,

That said, the sound quality of a CD is WAY better than the satellite and streaming methods. The new stuff is just more convenient,

I’m almost positive even Jesus has moved on from CD’s.

Is there an alternative to the $350 cd player besides downloading music?


Dude, I know you’re old, and trying to figure out technology is like trying to build a fire without having hands.

But it’s the easiest fricking thing in the world to download music on your smart phone (which i know you have)

Pretty clever of them to omit something and engineer things such that if you complain about it you're an uncool old grandpa.

There's a certain immediacy to non-smart technology that appeals to me. Sometimes I just want to hear music without knowing that it's some chick from St. Scholastica's birthday or that Drumpf called a man from The View fat.

Instead of all the insults and telling him what to do, perhaps step by step instructions on how to actually do it would be more beneficial. I’ll begin:

Step 1–gather all your cds you want to be able to listen to....

I feel like I’m in the twilight zone with this “I’m 40” shite. I’m 38 & don’t own a single CD or DVD. Life is so much easier if you embrace current technology.

Even this is unnecessary. Pay $7.99/mo and get amazon music or any streaming service. They all have just about any full album you’d like to hear.

40 isn’t that old bro. Get a google or Apple Music account like everyone else under 70 already has.

If you’re 40 you should be able to afford having a CD changer put in.

So did I. Music streaming has been a thing since we were in our 20s. Time to move past CDs.

Absolutely sucks that you don't get a CD player in a new car.


I'm going to take the bait on this one.

I purchased a new car last year. It has a CD player in it.
