Hey now. You haven’t lived until you’ve rolled to Santana’s Abraxas on a sweet 8 track that smells lightly of bong water.This might be the dumbest thread I have seen in a long time.

I get both sides here. There is one thing about the newer tech that I can’t stand and it is that whenever I "talk" to my vehicles, they make me feel like I don't know language I'm speaking and I can assure you I speak clearly every damn time and quickly raise my volume.Nothing is easier than saying, "play Love Shack" after holding the activate button on the wheel. Technology has passed you by to where it's easier for you to do the harder method, and you're complaining that companies aren't manufacturing the harder method. I hope you find a solution, but I also don't understand letting technology pass you by like this.
My response would be "okay, playing crash test dummies"Doesn't Voice control allow you to select the Artist you want to play?
Push this button:
and say, "Play Artist The Clash" and London Calling rolls out of the speaker.
Easy Peasey.
I'm with ya Gnomad- I really miss having a CD player, for all the reasons you and others mention. Insert CD- Listen for an hour or so- no plugging in/typing stuff into phone- no internet or Wifi issues- and sound quality IS better than FM/satellite/Spotify.And this is where I get told to transfer them to my phone or a USB stick or whatever. Yeah I can do that but it takes time and I'd rather just be able to chuck my CD's into the head unit or multi-changer and not have to worry about all of that.
Apparently they don't make those old school changers that you would load with a magazine and play over the radio or the AUX input either.
Don't feel like feeding apple music and Sirius, or other streaming. I have the CD's. I used them in my other vehicles.
I've been considering a portable cd player as well....Nah man, no need - like I posted way back b4 it got drowned out you're looking at maybe $60 (it's just the first one I found, I didn't shop around) for a CD player *designed* to be portable (larger buffer for skip protections, etc.) that also has a built-in FM transmitter. I'd personally avoid using Bluetooth for this just so nothing's fighting with your phone to pair with the head unit so that's why, for me, FM is the better approach (look, in for a dinosaur penny with the CD's, in for a dinosaur pound with *FM* radio LOL). If it doesn't work it's Amazon and you can send it back but unless the unit is actually *defective* the system works - you play your CD's with your head unit tuned to the FM frequency the player is using and it's WGNOmad, blasting fractions of watts into the airwaves!
