I have all the DLR VH albums on CD. I have several case logic books collecting dust in a closet after ripping all the cd's to a flash drive. Really bums me out that modern cars have all moved to the compressed, shitty usb files stuff. I'll have a proper home system someday...
This poll could have been "What happened to the cassette tape adapter that plugged into your DiscMan so you could play CDs on the tape deck in your car as long as the road contained fewer bumps than a AAA surface plate?" and my answer would be pretty much the same.
I had a buddy in high school that drove a car with an 8 track player in it. He had an adapter to go 8 track to cassette tape, then another adapter for cassette to CD. Had the whole contraption duct taped to his dash.
Terrible sound quality. Could barely tell what song was playing. This was in the year 2002.
I have them all, except one, in a drawer. The one exception, I just found out, is in my car’s CD player. My USB cord got disconnected on a recent trip and was surprisingly listening to the opening of Rush’s 2112 after starting up the car. I probably haven’t used the CD player in almost a decade which means that disc has been in there for quite some time.
The only CD for sure The Throbber owns is the soundtrack from VisionQuest. Not available on iTunes and I sure AF don't need ANOTHER streaming service subscription on Amazon.

The Throbber had the 8 track plug in that played cassette tapes.
I still have about 200. I don't know what to do with them.
Generally, I just use YouTube for music. I have an iTunes account, but I have no idea what the password is.
I think you might’ve been one of my youth group guidance counselors.
Yeah, I think CD players in cars always sounded better that Serius XM or more compressed files via Bluetooh.
That said, car audio is NEVER going to be high fi. I don't care how nice of a ride you have.
For the low cost of $2000 all in, we can get you up and running on a decent 2 channel stereo with CD player, speakers and integrated amp.
car i have doesnt even have a cd player in it. have a funkmaster flex mixtape that i cant fully find digital online anywhere.
chat, am i cooked?
I’m old enough to remember by cassette tapes on Main Street of park city before the town went to shit.

Best movie soundtrack of all-tim. 509 represent.
Madonna (then unknown) live from the Bigfoot Tavern…
Linda Fiorentino underneath a dude from Mead HS that the Throbber used to drink with. Allegedly.
One of the rasslers in the movie. Cash put out some studs.
