  3. Wanted a CD player on my 2022 Tundra. Sorry, that'll be another 4 months wait - 8 total. So, no CD.

    1. I have a little Sony Hi-Def music player that I connect to my Toyota via Bluetooth. Sounds great, with 196Gb of storage I can carry around just about my whole music collection

  5. I am the generation that upgraded from AM/FM to AM/FM Stereo. I stopped buying albums to buy 8-tracks for the car radio. I then was given the opportunity to upgrade to cassette. I went back to vinyl albums and recorded them to cassette. Then I upgraded to CD's. My current music collection is on an iPod that is no longer supported that has 83 hours of music, a USB with 7.7Gig of MP3's, and about 400 vinyl albums. All of my CD's were converted to the MP3's.

      Downloaded most back in the early 00's on usenet.

  6. Yep, buy your own recorder and make mix tapes off vinyl or the radio, them were the days. The tape hiss and cheap players eating your tapes were the drawbacks.

    1. It's all non-listenable now, much like over the air TV which is mostly all negro.

  8. I just load everything onto a "gimme" thumb drive and plug it into the car. Holds almost all my music.
