CD player

[webdawg]

Looking for a CD player that I can plug into the back of my radio, but keep in the glove box. My radio has hookups for this.

Doesn't have to be top of the line, but just having a hard time finding them on the web.

Does anyone still use CDs? I haven't played one in years. My iPod carries all the music I own, plus podcasts, nightly news downloads, etc.

I listen to the radio in my cars, but listen to 8 tracks when I'm in the garage or the occasional record

I still use cassettes in my Sedan 1994. My genuine VW Beta radio (by Grundig) was the last one made with cassette player.

That is OK Webdog, I too have been behind the times since day one!

I recently learned how to convert CD's into MP3 format and get ten cd's on one and play them in my Harley's player!

[animes2k]

I was looking at a JVC media head unit, no cd player at all, just Bluetooth and USB, with iPod control and even Pandora control with an android phone. Don't even need to take the phone out of your pocket. $100.

Of course if you just want a basic mp3 player, there are plenty on amazon for cheap without having to go the iPod route. Look around for something that fits your budget and other requirements and look at the ratings.

That's going to work much better than a cd player in the glove box.

What I want to know is where can I buy a good car stereo that has a plug (rca) that I can plug my 1975 style headphones into?

[oda5000]

i know car audio what kind of input does the back of the radio have? 3.5 mm jack? those red and white things?

OK. I bought this FM Modulator http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001QBG614/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00



and this MP3 player http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002MAPT7U/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01



hooked everything up correctly and it doesn't work. I think the problem is that I have to tune my radio to either 88.3 or 87.9 and thay have a lot of static.

It's their just a plain old CD player I can plug into the back of my existing stereo and have the sound come out my speakers? I have those red and white outlets back there. 3 sets of them.

Thanks

are they "out"lets or inputs. can you post the model of your stereo? i can help you then. and there is no difference between hooking up a cd player and an mp3 player. if you have an AUX input. you bought a good mp3 player. tell me the model and ill tell you how to hook it up right.

[highroller]

Ya know I've read some where that you can get an fm broadcaster that attaches to the stereo out, and then you can have stereo reciever headphones on.

[candymustang66]

he said he has the Aux in ports ( i believe you, blush)

so get a CD/DVD -mp3 rated deck
and plug it in
that way, you can do like in my garage and play 2000 Mp3 on one DVD disc
A Denon. the random button is so cool. 2000 behind it..

you can rip your CD CDA discs to mp3 and put them on a flash stick
and plug them all in at once, the whole collection. (or lots of ways )
use WINAMP. to do that, or anyone of 1000s of other apps .
i bet your old CDA discs all fit on one DVD, am i right.? (size matters)


own your own MP3 , and do it. a stick full of MP3 files. or on a DVD.
the dvd holds 4g to 8gig of music. vast.

if you have the RCA line inputs ( you can run any deck, made) RCA jacks not fiber,coax and others custom formats.

i'd go flash stick, and forget legacy. that way your masters last a life time.
the deck needs to be the brands that work with bouncing skips.
the early decks are useless. (90s decks suck)

is this not IT? This is a real DECK (component CD DECK )

hard to find, because all cars have the USB port
so you plug in and listen, FLASH is the end.
small cheap and nothing scattered all over...... glove box full...
the DVD is slow. and funky
the flash is well fast.
you can code your mp3 so all the titles work (free online)
you then can even use CLASS menus

Country
Western
R&B
some player all allow menus;. so if that is your BAG the check that out.

I have a Mp3 wireless server in my home with all that and lots more.
Android rules.


Cassette mag to line out sucks, NO BASS !

the FM broadcaster works but you must get one for an off channel
and if you travel and you land on THAT channel it fails. Carrier collision and hetrodyning fail (like on CB when 2 people key up same time )
i have one, bought 4 at that era. and 1 works good.
it is fussy and you will never really like it, it's so MARCONI.

get a USB stick port radio and stop fooling around. walmart. is your ploy.
you now have every path. oops one more


windows CE media car computer in the dash and mp3 server in the trunk.
or just put em, on the HDD in the computer head end.
truck sever:?
so if they steal the head, maybe the server will not be found.? hide it well.
ponder that,.

way and means, audio..... out.
PS
and safety no car crashes swapping CDA. or scratched up. or sat on and cracked.
in fact voice command NEXT !
