The first CD player was one of those Philips/Magnavox top loaders.When it died was replaced with a Sony changer type player that had a magazine affair rather than a large rotary disc.Now its Blu-Ray DVD machines that can play CD,DVD,BluRay DVD and 4K BluRay DVD in one machine.I miss the CD changers that used to be in cars.My car has a single CD player.I don't use the streaming too much of a PIA!Going back to buying CD's just easier to play at home and in the car.

My last car had a CD player that had stopped working several years ago. Was going to try to fix it with a cleaning kit but never did. When cleaning out the car late last year found several CDs friends had "burned" for me, so I've been enjoying listening to these again.
My new car has a CD player as well as streaming with Pandora app, etc. But I mostly only listen to a CD or the radio, can be a hassle trying to set up the Pandora and Bluetooth if I don't do it as soon as get in the car.
I do love the Pandora app on my phone - use it a lot to listen to in bed with headphones.
Never had a component stereo system - my only CD players are a Lennox Sound CD/Cassette boombox and a GE Spacemaker CD player. Really like the Spacemaker because of its remote control, and with its auxiliary cord can play Pandora app from my phone on it.
Did see at Walmart recently one of the old fashioned cassette recorders, as well as a Sony CD/Cassette boom box. Surprised to still see both for sale.
Am too young to remember when records and 8 tracks were first around, but the CD sure is easier to find tracks on than those cassette tapes. I used to really like playing with cassette recorders as a kid, had the toy ones then.

My one and only CD player (outside of one in a vehicle) is a Sony boombox I got in 1992. Unfortunately both the CD and cassette parts have stopped working, so it only works as a radio.
My 2014 Fusion has a (single) CD player in the dash unit and two USB jacks in the console (also Left/Right/Video RCA jacks). I downloaded a bunch of music from YouTube and other sources, converted to .mp3 on a flash drive, 366 tracks thus far including a few full albums each in a single file, with a LOT of room remaining.
Interesting that there is some background noise/static between tracks when playing the flash drive that isn't noticeable on the road but can be heard if playing in a quiet ambient such as parked in the garage.
The previous 2001 Infiniti had cassette, a single CD slot in the dash and a 6-disc magazine changer in the trunk.

My Ford Taurus also has the two USB ports down in the center console. I've seen some Taurus with the A/V jacks and other things, but mine doesn't seem to have any. I test drove a Fusion also when I was looking for my car but I didn't notice what kind of inputs it had.
I was thinking of downloading some music to USB sticks also-what program did you use to do this?
Remember 2006 Chrysler Town and Country had one CD slot on head unit (mainly for navigation disc but could play CDs also). And then down below that was a 6 disc CD/DVD changer. It also had audio video jacks so you could plug in a phone or MP3 player if you had a headphone to A/V splitter cable. However, it would only switch to the jacks if you had your MP3 or phone turned up very high. If there was too long between tracks, it'd switch back to CD.

Sears and Roebuck LXI
Pix of my Sears LXI CD player probably 1987. So 32 years old, still working still hooked up. Never had a problem with this unit. I also have a SONY BluRay player that will play CD's. Yes that is a Radio Shack dual cassette player above the LXI, still works, I still have my cassettes, also all of my Vinyl since 1959. Also showing the whole stack with Dish Satellite reciver at the top, then Harmon Kardon Surround reciever circa 1998 with Dolby Digital, but not DTS, Sony Bluray, VHS player, Realistic Dual Casette, LXI player, Technics turntable, and Subwoofer.

I bought my first CD player in in the fall of 1986 at the ShopRite supermarket for $69 I believe it was a Sharp DX-610H, which was not programable and had no remote. It worked well but was eventually replaced by a Pioneer 101 disc carousel player which still works well today.
