I like CDs and, weirdly, the new car I just bought (BMW M240i) has what a sales dude described as the last EVER BMW with a CD player (this assumes you trust any car sales dude's opinion)...it also allows music from CDs to be stored digitally (no clue how many, but easily deleted if the thing fills up) for space saving. A pleasantly surprising feature.
Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria?
After years without one, I'm considering getting a CD player. I'm not against streaming, but I have many CD's and would like the simplicity of just playing them from time to time. I probably want to cap my expenditure at $700, or so, because this won't be the only way I play music.
A few questions:
If you've purchased a new CD player, what did you buy? Why?
If you've purchased a used player, how old is too old? What factors helped you choose?
My concern with used is that the transport mechanism of older players will be getting tired, and this won't be knowable just because a unit "checks out" with the site (or individual) testifying to the player's working condition. There's got to be an average point for many machines to give up the ghost, mechanically (varying from machine to machine, of course).
