Yeah that sucks. My car is a 2013 and has a CD player. I still buy CD's often and the car is the only place I really listen to them anymore. Looks like I am going to have to find a portable CD player and connect it to the USB somehow for my next car....either that or just stick the music on my phone through bluetooth. Several years ago, Apple stopped putting DVD/CD drives in their Mac Books. My 2011 Mac Book Pro is still going strong fortunately.....but I will have to say I rarely put a CD or DVD in it anymore.....unlike my car.

I think I found my new vehicle! The Nissan Rogue still comes with a CD player! I was looking this topic up on line and saw many comments that "you shouldn't buy a vehicle based on whether or not it has a CD player". Fuck you! If I'm spending 20-25 grand plus on a vehicle, I wanna be able to listen to my CDs in it dammit!
On a related note, my band, The Shambles Band, has completed basic tracks for 9 songs for a new CD's worth of music...….. I wonder if anyone will still have Cd players when we finish it.

Its funny with bands. People still buy the CD's at the merch table at our shows. I few years ago we played in Wilmington and a girl approached us....said she only had $5 left in cash but really wanted the CD....she was younger to....so we gladly gave it to her for that. She obviously was going to actually listen to it....but I often wonder if many people buy the CD's for local bands as more of a way to show support and never really listen to them.
Congrats on finding a vehicle with a CD player! I intend on keeping my car for a while....I leased it new in 2012 and then bought it in 2016 so I still have 2 years of payments left. I intend on keeping it well after it is paid for. I hate having a car payment. I hope the CD player lasts as long as the car.....hahaha.

Honestly, I've bought Cds from local support acts at concerts that I've never listened to! I do it because I thought the band was cool and wanted to support them. At the time, I really wanted to hear the CDs, but once I got it home, I'd be like, "nah". I still have them, maybe I should dig them out and pop them in my stereo some time! I did end up getting a Nissan Rogue. The thing is great! I bought it on March 7th and I haven't filled it with gas yet!  |

Newly pressed LPs cost way too much. Some don't even have the gatefold graphics included. Also they are heavier than old pressed LPs, they can still be scratched...CDs will always be my choice. Good for you Jesse for finding a car with a cd player, I'd never buy a car without cd player in it.

Good for you Jesse for finding a car with a cd player, I'd never buy a car without cd player in it. I was always led to believe that records sounded better than CDs. Maybe they do, maybe they don't, but one should make sure we're comparing apples to apples! The old stereo sounds systems of record player yore were/are much superior to most CD players you buy these days. When my Grandmother passed away last Summer, I inherited my grandparents' stereo from the late 70's/early '80's. It has auxilary jacks that I can hook up a CD player or iPod to and it sounds INCREDIBLE! First time I hooked it up, I literally sat on the floor in front of the speakers to listen! I felt like a kid again, the music was ALIVE! Today's stereo systems are made to play music, THIS one was made to LISTEN to music! CDs, iPod, even cassette, doesn't matter. Whatever I have hooked up to this system sounds awesome! |
