I have to admit, I was a little concerned about not having a CD player. Well to today I finally had time to experiment with my iPod in the car and the experience was great. I have completely welcomed the 21st century. Anyway, it is a lot more convenient than any CD player or CD changer. The voice recognition was flawless, even when I gave the command: "Play 'My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark,'" it did not miss a syllable.

GM really "hit it out of the park" with this vehicle.

There are some great tips on this forum on how to rip your CDs to your computer, then put the music onto either SD cards or USB drives. Enjoy!!

I just "realized" this.... I know I'm not as old as some on here and have seen less come and go, but I can't believe I've been able to watch the CD player come and go with a vehicles entertainment.

I saw the fm converter come and go, 8 track player come and go, cassette player come and go, and now the cd player come and go.

I still have my "Records" ( those are NOT lines of computer coding)
and a great Turntable ( that is NOT a piece of furniture that spins around) with a new cartridge ( that is NOT a container of printer ink)
and a new drive belt ( that is NOT a component of a supercharger
package) .

Guess how old I am

At least the record player didn't come and go. Hope the windup spring doesn't fail, heard they are expensive, hand made. Have not seen any 78 RPM records in stores lately?

I managed to go pretty much straight from cassettes to MP3s, skipping CDs along the way (though my wife owns about ten of them). I guess I just wasn't paying attention during those years.

I have 6000+ songs on my iPhone. Then there are the podcasts. This has transformed road trips.

The thought of going back to CDs seems as primitive to me as having a cassette deck.

I can't remember what 48 was like
But anyway, some old school stuff is good to keep around.
But I agree the "new" way of "storing" music is great
