Buy a large capacity USB like I have and just copy your CDs into individual folders (like Artist or Album name) and use a USB. I did it. Its way easy, just plug in the usb in the car and go. You can search and find the song/artist you want using the radio or just have the radio randomly pick a song.
I see your argument for CD players, although it is a little weak no matter how you spin it. But the USB thing is just so simple and easy.
As for the original post...most of my music is downloaded and was originally burned to CD. Since then I have moved it to USB and have only used the USB in the Camaro. I'm not sure if the quality of my downloaded songs is a bit lower (probably the case) or what, but at one point I did listen to a friend's CD in the car and it sounded amazing. Better overall rich quality sound than my stuff.

I'm not going to pay extra for a "high-end" head unit from the factory just to tear it out and slap an aftermarket one in its place.
I'm through ranting, but the next few months of sales numbers will be interesting to watch as every single person I've told about this change have said "Don't trade yours then...because I WOULD NOT WANT A CAR WITHOUT A CD PLAYER."
I predict this will be as bad if not worse than Sony's Blu-Ray debacle. Eventually it did win out over HD-DVD, but not before nearly bankrupting the entire company and devastating their home gaming division so bad that they are still trying to recover.
GM doesn't have those kinds of funds...and this will be a much bigger loss with a much bigger impact. I think alot of you tech types will be surprised just how big of a deal this becomes.
I'm a tech guy myself, and I don't do the MP3 crap. Give me a CD any day.
Anyway, not much to say at this point. Time will tell.
