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

xdeslitx · 03-23-2011, 01:56 AM

lately i've been connecting my USB thumb drive to my HU and using that for music

Jessobear · 03-23-2011, 05:54 AM

I use it from time to time. Usually it's because I've just gotten a CD and I haven't yet bothered to rip it and sync it to my iPod. I buy quite a bit of old music and often times, buying the CD from Amazon is cheaper than buying the album in MP3 format.

just bought an ipod solely for this car....prior to that (the first 2 weeks of ownership) i was using CD's...

TheGreatOne · 03-23-2011, 07:32 AM

Mostly USB key for me

...which is pretty much the same as making a CD I guess lol. But I do keep a CD in there that I made for my first drive, so I'll play that every now and then...

I use Xm radio and my Droid X "wireless"

Better than cd's

So that is what that slot under the nav screen is for...

Each CD I own has played exactly once in my Z -- merely to rip it to the HD. It's a bummer I can't load music via USB since now i have to rip each CD twice.

With the Kenwood DDX-814 I thought I would use the CD/DVD frequently because flash drives beyond 8GB were pricey a couple of years ago. Since I started using flash drives, I never had use for a CD/DVD drive. Plus, I hardly watch movies in the car. Therefore, I plan to sell the DDX-814 and downgrade to an Alpine media receiver.

I mainly listen to either XM or my ipod, but I do have a couple of audio dvds in my car just because they have awesome sound quality.

GZ3 · 03-23-2011, 08:35 AM

nah, not really....its all about the Cowon here

kenoverbey · 03-23-2011, 10:27 AM

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.

ProfessorDave · 03-23-2011, 07:47 PM

Yes, under these circumstances:
I forgot my iPod
I left the iPod in the Mazda, then decided to take the Z
I forgot my iPod and got tired of listening to my FI exhaust (OK, that's a lie...I never get tired of listening to my FI exhaust)
