Does anyone know of a manufacture who makes a external CD player that plugs into the usb port for our rides? Been looking but cannot find.

I bought a Sony mp3 player and put all the CDs I wanted to on it.
I love it.

A Walkman CD player will work. Most do not use CDs.

I was thinking you could copy all of your cd's onto a computer and then just drag the files to a usb memory stick. It will never skip and it will hold every cd you have on one little thumb drive.

^That is what I did. Its not as hard as you think; Basically copy and paste or use the Windows media player burn feature. I prefer CDs but zapping your albums on a thumb drive is super convenient and far less cumbersome than searching for your disc or fighting with a figety cd changer.

What is a cd?

hognutz · 06-23-2014, 01:07 AM

hmmm I guess I forget people don't have smart phones. my advice is just get a decent phone. it is so nice to just have my music with me no mater which car I am in.

I can use bluetooth for calls as well as all my music is just on my phone wich I have on me at all times. you don't even need a cord you just stream from you phone to the car.

I honeslty can't phathom ever using a CD again.

Yeah. What these guys said. I'm more of an analog player myself. But I stuck all of my music on a slim flash drive/memory stick. Put it in the day I bought the car and haven't taken it out in the two years since I've had the car. It's in the center console and sticks out maybe a quarter of an inch. So not in the way at all.

This here will hold about anything you need. But they have a 16 and a 32 that aren't much more.

Portable CD player + Aux input cable should run you less than $50. Just be sure to stock up on AA batteries or get yourself a power outlet adapter.

Or, go the digital route like everyone else and get a USB drive to store your music on.

Copy your CD's to a computer and you could import all of them to a thumb-drive.
