All General Discussion Readers: Do you use your CD player regularly?

optiontrader · 03-22-2011, 10:52 PM

(Mods, please don't move to Audio Section - I'd like to include the preferences of those that don't frequent that section as I do).

Just as the title says - wondering how much of us regularly use the in-dash CD player. With Apple lossless, I find it a pain in the arse to lug CD's around - even with the in-dash changer. My changer remains empty like the day I bought it.

Sat radio and ipod is everything I need. If I have a CD, I immediately put it in my itunes, so it goes on the ipod anyway. I haven't used a CD on any vehicle I have owned in the last 4 years.

I just bought Chris Browns new album, my first mainstream album I ever bought, and I love it so I guess yes, I do.

But I also have an iPhone and i like listen to the radio

I got my ipad strictly to use for my music and navigation system

Red__Zed · 03-22-2011, 11:06 PM

I use either my compact flash slot, or the built-in hard drive. Sometimes my iPhone.

Haven't used it once. I just use the aux input with my mp3 player.

Fix the poll question to include Music Box.

. I get confused when I leave a CD in the player, as I always use the music box. I have never used an Ipod, MP3, etc. attachments.

I'd use the CD player even more if the car wasn't so damn noisy inside. You ipod generation youngsters don't even know or care that the music is compressed and seriously compromised in order to store it in that fashion.
But then again if your are listening to Chris Brown and other currently popular artists it doesn't matter.

I guess that's why the tracks played by my iPod through the Aux port are so much weaker than the songs played on cd's through the cd player. I don't suppose there's anything I can do to improve that. The iPod is so much easier to use than all those cd's---which were a great improvement over all those cassette tapes I used to carry around----which were a great improvement over those 8 tracks I was thrilled to use, etc. etc. etc. but all true. How far we've come from the days of only an AM radio in my first car!
