For me they are so much better than streaming. I am old school and like to play entire albums but kids today attention spans are short. CD's are on their way out. It's a shame people have adjusted to paying for streaming services for the rest of their life's instead of owning physical media. Yes, I pay for Sirius even though I hate paying. The only good side of the decline of CD's is that they are available super cheap used.

[@kevinf3515]

CD players provide far superior sound than even flac files cannot approach. That is why I insist on them. Streamed music is compressed files with resultant horrendous sound quality, anyone who appreciates quality audio knows this. Unfortunately modern Americans care only about convenience & quantity, in their food & everything else, so we're stuck with lousy choices. CDs are for those who appreciate quality audio, not a sign of age.

I agree. I absolutely HATE that cars no longer come with them. I refuse to play music off my phone in the car. Literally looked this up because I'm about to buy a new car and want a CD player in the car in some capacity. Under the seat...something. I just can't deal with not having it. Also, I have CDs i love that I cannot find all the songs on streaming services. I've looked. I want them all and in the order they are on the CD. And its impossible. So I'll just install a CD player I guess.

Hi guys. Agree I too have customers who enjoy the simplicity of CD'S and audio quality. Have you ever come across a device that plugs into the USB socket inline between the USB socket and USB device (pen drive) to raise the audio quality. Been thinking about this lately.

[@niklaswejedal463]

I'm one of those who spent the last 30 years collecting music on CDs - I could go ahead and rip it all to other media - but seriously, when you got a couple of hundred CDs, that is not as conveinient as just keep on playing the CDs like you used to. So, I got myself one of these fpr my new car (Renault Zoe 2019) and it did not work. At least not as I was hoping it would. It played a CD I tested, but then refused to play it the next time. And it could not find track 1-10; always start at track 11. For some reason, it will play CDs I burnt in my laptop at once, but I had to try several times with the real one, untill I got any sound from it. Most of the time, it informed me that no media could be found on the disc. No such problems when I tried playing CDs with it connected to my laptop - then it worked great, so I guess the infotainmentsystem in my Renault does not really recognize this device for some reason... So make sure it works with your specific model of car before buying this player.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Yes, they do not work with all cars!

[@adamloose1695]

I bought one just like it that was compatible for my 2019 Silverado but not sure which brand, got it off Amazon. So I followed the directions to hook it up. Put in a cd, and it worked. That is until I wanted to play through the entire cd, it would play through the first 4 songs then skip to track 9 or 10. I tried skipping to the tracks it was missing but it would still go from 4 to 9. So I sent it back.

[@linntang9044]

@@adamloose1695 Does your 2019 Chevrolet Silverado have a 3.5mm auxiliary input jack (AUX port)? Normally the 3.5mm auxiliary input jack (AUX port) is located in the center console or front dashboard. My friend's 2024 Equinox has a 3.5mm auxiliary input jack (AUX port), and he got a POSSPO Jupiter CD player. The CD player works well in his 2024 Equinox as it is connected to the Equinox using both the AUX port and USB port. If your 2019 Silverado has a 3.5mm auxiliary input jack (AUX port), a CD player like POSSPO Jupiter with AUX input should work properly to play all the tracks in your truck. Hope this helps.
