portable CD player BT compatible for 2019 Sierra

[Harry Rombold]

I'm looking for recommendations for a Bluetooth compatible CD player so I can listen to my CD's in my over priced under optioned 2019 Sierra

Time to join the new millennium & rip your CD’s to MP3s. [emoji6]

CD's can be converted to MP3's (or one of the other truck readable formats) using one of many programs.

 

(including itunes which is (or was) available to download/install on a windows machine as well as apples)

 

Is it worth the effort? 

 

The files can be stored on a usb, or your phone.

Songs per GB depends on file compression selected, but as an example I have some 40 or 45 hours of music taking up about 12GB on a 16GB usb.

An album is somewhere are 40 to 50 minutes.  iirc, I have about 50 or 55 on one. 

 

Much simpler than carrying a CD collection around

 

 

USB / flash drive /thumb drive in high capacity used to be kinda expensive. 

Now they are cheap.

Ok thanks guys . I'm new to this high tech stuff , I'm old and not up to date on a lot of these things , I grew up on rotary phones and 45's .   

So should I go with 2.0 or 3.0 and say 32 gb storage for some hours of music only ?  As with everything these days there are too many choices and I just want to make the best one .

I have about 55 albums on about 12 GB of storage.

Gives 40-something hours of music.

Judge the size you need accordingly. 

 

Either usb 2 or 3 will be fine. 

 

I like these just cuz the size makes it less likely they will get physically damaged in truck (less sticking out to catch stuff). The trade off is they are a little more difficult to get out....

About the same size as the receiver's for a BT mouse. 

 

Probably other brands as well that have them in this format.

It's available in other capacities as well.
