nope - normally use the Ipod & or internet radio streaming

Many new laptops no longer come with a CD/DVD player. I've used the one in my desktop maybe once in the past year.

 

People now use USB drives that store thousands of songs in a tiny drive or play from their smartphones.

 

I remember always taking a dozen CD's with me when travelling...  many years ago now.

 

I have a couple of these drives. Even with a month on vacation I still can't get around to listening to everything I have put on it.

Every rental car I have driven the last few years has come with a USB port.

Mp3 killed the CD as CD killed the cassette tape.
I wonder what will kill the Mp3....maybe internet streaming ?

I still use a DVD disc with 100's of songs in MP4 format for music in the car. I have an USB port, but annoyingly I have to select USB from the inbuilt media player every time the engine is turned off, whereas the DVD starts automatically.

Why not just select Random Play and listen that way? Unless you feel an overwhelming urge to hear Dancing Queen.

I still have a few DVD's labeled 'road trip' where one could cover the whole 8 hour trek up the Mitrapharb in the old (2007) Honda CR-V with one disc I recall it had a disc player that could take (I think) 5 discs. Didn't realize it could initially, it was a miraculous discovery after finding Mrs NL had slipped in a few ramwong discs while I was away. I was a bit disappointed that the much newer Rangers could only take a single disc at a time.

 

Moving on, sometimes I hit the CD select and note, "So that's where that disc went"... and leave it for another 4 months or so.

 

My 'car radio' annoyingly defaults to the last FM station when it can't connect with whatever's in the USB hole or Bluetooth spits the dummy. Annoying when you are up country and there's bugger all understandable on the radio anyway.

 

I use BT to connect the smart phone and when I'm not listening to "Up All Night" on BBC Five Live or Alex Lester's WM95.6 morning show via the iPlayer, I can pick from KLOL Houston, Waves FM Peterhead, Radio Veronica or Arrow Classic Rock from Holland, the rather excellent 107 Jack fm Berkshire, The Bay or  Bailrigg FM from Lancaster via the free TuneIn app.

Agnetha Fältskog was a hottie though, eh?

Certainly was. I know a lot of people rubbished ABBA, but even some of the worlds best musos have acknowledged ABBA songs were a lot more than throwaway pop songs.

I just use Apple Music now. With Siri can just request track you want and comes through whichever Bluetooth device I'm connected to. 

 

Not used cds for last 7 or 8 years now. 

 

Hundreds of the things gathering dust at home.

Lot of cars have Bluetooth music systems these days. 

 

It seems to be the way it's going.

This might be the solution to your problems. It works great to "stream" from your mobile via bluetooth to the car stereo. It works also as a charger, a handsfree, or a USB-Player. At that price you cannot go wrong. I am very happy with this device.

I have a flash drive with loads of albums on it and just tell the bird hiding under the dash which song, artist or album I want to listen to and she cues it up for me.

I will never buy anything without a CD player, I have hundreds of CD's

[Ace of Pop]

Seems funny to leave em out if one can still buy CDs, they went to CDs when cassets were not available.At this rate everyone will just need an I phone.

[canthai55]

CD's ???. Next - no cassettes or 8 tracks ??

[Namplik]

Spotify or streaming radio is the way to go nowadays...
