I put all my music on an 8gb stick. I have about 500 songs with a lot of room left over. I prefer it to CD's.

As far as music in the Camaro, even though I have the Bose, it could be better. The iPod works fine through MyLink - playlists, podcasts, and music all use the iPod interface. But, due to the iPod barely fitting in the center console (only if I tilt it kitty-corner), sometimes I'll just bring a USB stick. The limitation - USB 3.0 doesn't work! The other thing that could be better on the Camaro is that it's missing a hard drive. My 2015 MINI daily driver has a 20 GB hard drive built in. When you stick a USB drive in the port (3.0 does work here), the system has an option to import to the hard drive. Anyway, enjoy your CDs if that's what you like. And good luck storing them in the Camaro.

My point is nothing’s changed for me so storing them is no different than it’s been for 25 years. Grab a few discs for the day and put them in the glove box. |

Heh, I have to admit to occasionally preprocessing my mp3's to obtain a dynamic range that sounds better on the car's audio system, to make sure metadata (album, artist, track) and album art are all correct... talk about a waste of time

Guys if you don't want to worry about your CD's skipping you could always just dig your old Walkman and cassettes out of one of the boxes in your attic and hook it up the same way.
I'm sure some of you held on to your MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice and New Kids on the Block cassettes? Or how about some old cassettes of your favorite radio station in 1994 that you made by hitting record on your boom box when a song you liked came on? |

57: I have hundreds of CD’s I have hundreds of Vinyl albums and even cassettes.
Solution for car, mowing the lawn, working out? Apple Music, so far never failed to find a song I want. My current favorite JJ Wilde, look her up! I also have Pandora and Spotify, and a few radio station apps. While deployed, I tuned in to my hometown radio station every Sunday for the “feels” A few favorites are loaded directly to my apple library for no connection/ airplane mode etc. Time to cut the cord, keep the CD’s for the man cave |

First, your suggestion of the stereo jack is an option, but (IMHO) there is a better one - use a USB CD drive. You can both power the drive AND control the playback from the head unit.
Second, the process of ripping CD’s can be quite painless if you happen to be a bit of “a tecchie”. I have a purpose-built Linux machine with two DVD drives that I can feed BluRay, DVD, or CD media to and it will do 100% of the work of pulling the content off of the disc and organizing it along with metadata and album art. If you have any interest in building a machine like that, PM me and I can share some info on how I built it and how to customize it. |

Thats what kills me about all this new stuff the compression sounds like its in a tin can and I have no clue,time or paitience to learn whats what what better whos cheaper... I guess im old. I goto to live music shows alot before covid so I like the live sound...and you dont get that in MP3. The sirius radio in my 1le sounds like my dads am radio did in his 1969 Chevelle wagon...Chevy recreated something right!

I think there are many out there in the same situation as OP. Recently a rep at an audio store told me if it wasn't for customers buying new CD head units, they might be out of business.
