I am old, but no CD players in luxury cars?

Why don’t they sell VCRs at Bestbuy!?

20+ years is an exaggeration. My vehicle is 9 years old and came with a CD player.

STFU. MY 2018 Nissan has a CD player.

That doesn’t mean CDs weren’t obsolete by then, dimwit. The first iPod came out in 2001. CDs were obsolete then.

Op, you should have posted on the Midlife Forum ~ we'll join you there.

They sell portable external CD players on Amazon (or anywhere else to get electronics) that either plug into USB or transmit locally on FM.

Get one of those, a stack of CDs and work it like its 1995, baby!

Best Buy didn't stop selling CD's until 2018.

Just switch to Spotify. It’s worth it. I have old CDs and iTunes files I’ll never use again. It’s okay. Media changes.

Again, you mistake availability for lack of obsolescence. CDs were made obsolete by 2001 with the invention of the iPod. Hell, I remember using a radio adapter for the iPod so that you could get your tunes on the radio as early as the 2000s.

Typewriters were still sold all throughout the 90s and up to 2009ish when the last major maker of typewriters closed. That doesn’t mean typewriters were long obsolete before the 90s and 2000s (they were). What garbage logic you have.

Off course CD's were on the way out. But if stores were still selling them up to 2018, and cars still had CD players installed in them in 2018, then they were not obsolete in 2001.

I really wish there were CD players in cars as well. Now that our computers don’t have CD-roms, I can’t even rip my CD onto a USB. And it would take a long time to rebuild my music collection on a streaming platform. It’s super annoying.

They also don't have cassette or 8-track players anymore. Technology changes.

You can use a portable one for the car:

This. Just explore Apple Music or Spotify and choose one. Suck up paying the monthly fee and move on. You can download as many albums are your phone can hold, make you own play lists (just like burning a mix cd!) and all of that. It's not random music that pops up, you can just listen to albums then if you want.

Some of the comments on here make it so clear that some Millenials/Gen X don't understand how streaming works.

I agree and also want a car with a DVD player that works.

Get a used car and you will be able to find a CD player.

You can get a portable CD player for your laptop.

My 2022 Forester Touring has one.

That's a great idea. I'm tired of paying for music over and over again.

I prefer CDs. It’s interesting how the music industry changed to extract yet more money from people.

I can listen to my CDs for free.
