Easy CD player solution

[cbrenthus]

I've seen a few threads on the lack of an AUX input for a portable CD player, and thought I'd help. Just get a Bluetooth CD player .

That's why I'm sharing this. I don't like ripping CDs because its a pain, and I sometimes like the focus of choosing a single album and listening to it from start to finish.

They also make CD players that can be installed in new vehicles and controlled through the interface and I'm considering getting one for my wife's Pacifica, might be an option for the Bronco someday. The vehicle simply sees it as a usb drive.

As for other things people may not know exist, we go through a ton of distilled water in the winter, like several gallons a week, for humidifiers and I just found out that home water distillers exist for ~$70 and got one because I hated wasting all the plastic water jugs, and it'll cost me 25% to make a gallon compared to buying a gallon

To RIP a CD you only need to put the disc in a tray and click a couple tabs, it might be one or two steps more than playing the CD in a CD player. You can easily rip the whole album and play it back. I have not seen a system where you can't play a whole album whether you are using a disc or using a thumb drive with digital music on it.

Hah, does the bluetooth CD player also have anti-skip? I can't even imagine it dealing with a rough ride.

That aside: I ripped over 700 CDs and maintained that private file library for a LONG time. I've since deleted them all and just stream, though, it is a pain to maintain a config that syncs for offline playback.

I know, and I even use old iphones as ipods and have 100s of albums on them, and keep them plugged in to each vehicle for this reason. But, there is still something nice about physically loading a CD rather than scrolling through the lists in the screen. I'm sure a lot of people don't understand, but there are also people that still read newspapers

As for me, most of the time I listen to SiriusXM, but with the wireless carplay I won't be renewing my subscription and will listen to Pandora most of the time.

I've been lugging this around but it uses up most of my cargo space. I like your idea better.

I keep waiting for someone to try and come up with a solution to play an 8 track in their Bronco.

Perfect, now I can listen to my playlists when I download them to CDs

Waiting on an 8 track solution.

Would be nice for a road trip if you had a book on CD like you can get from the public library system. I used to like to listen to those on a log trip. This way you wouldn't have to buy the digital copy to list to.

That's assuming that A. You still have a PC with a CD tray! and B. You can buy blank CD's....

I still have one with a 3.5" floppy. Retro computers are the in thing now.

CD's Nuts

Why would you need a blank CD to rip a CD to a hard drive?
