That'll help keep your mind off of the "natural rock" seating for about an hour and a half. Just imagine that you are at a Ronnie Dunn concert.

Lot of good songs on that, may have to do the download thingy us young-uns do with music these days. If you like trucking songs, check out Tony Justice.

I also listen to Amazon Music app on my phone that plays through my radio when we travel. This way I do not have to change CD's when we are driving. My wife likes the 90's country and I do not mind the old country songs from Johnny Paycheck, Waylon Jennings, Willy Nelson and Merle Haggard. Than I will switch to the 60's and 70's rock songs. We can travel all day 8 to 10 hours without changing formats with the Amazon Music app.

I think it's 20 years ago when i bought my last CD. After that the Music came by downloading from the internet.
And today we have even better solutions with Pandora, or Spotify and the other streaming services.

Is a CD Player not an add on that one has to pay separately on a new Vehicle today?
They are not standard anymore, right?

April- In This Moment
May- Theory of a Deadman

Once upon a time, vehicles came factory equipped with CD players.

My '97 came factory equipped with a CD and cassette player. It must've have been during a transition period. Maybe I have a rare vehicle.

I'm sure any of my nephews or nieces would have no idea what either one is. They would probably think it should belong in the Smithsonian.

Once upon a time, vehicles came equipped with 8 track players.

There were many years worth of vehicles that came with cassette/cd combos.

There was a very brief time before the 8 track that they put 4 track into some high end cars. I think that was the mid 60's. That was one of the first times that I experienced technology going obsolete before it fully implemented into the market place. Sometime around 68-69 I put a Pioneer FM-Stereo/4 track/8 track player under the dash in my 65 289-HP Mustang along with some high-end co and tri-ax speakers behind the panels. Nothing better than no commercials when listening to the clean sound of FM Stereo radio back then, just a station call letter/frequency broadcast every half hour. Listened to a lot of uninterrupted full albums, in stereo, played over the air. Tapes were great, too, until the foil splice broke or the tape got eaten...folded, spindled and mutilated by the player. Learned how to splice, rewind and re-tension tapes.
Then Quadraphonic came and went...

I think it's incredibly convenient today to get the desired music right away.
We have come a long way.

We sure have. It's so nice to be able to replay immediately, or direct select, by voice even, a song and not have to fast forward for three minutes then select the correct track to play the song again...also, a huge selection on a teensy-tiny USB drive for hours, and hours, and hours of unrepeated music without carrying a suitcase of source materials.

I still like my Vinyl LP's years ago I spent lots of money on a in home Stereo System and have enough power (with clarity) to make your ears bleed!! (Not really bleed but VERY UNCOMFORTABLE) I still buy LP's to add to my collection UNOPENED and like you I record music off the internet onto a reel to reel for in home use but for the autos I have the Infinity sound system offered in the 04 dodges (Both of them now) my original 04 has an Aux amp & a couple of added speakers to make it sound better. I like CD's for the cars they can take lots of abuse and still sound pretty good.

 

[Ozymandias]

I had two boxes of tapes back then, and never really went into CDs, more or less stepped directly to Sticks.

Oh, and I love the sound systems that US car makers offered and still offers* to their customers.
The first car I had that I didn't had to exchange or even build from scratch was - a 1998 Grand Cherokee with the Infinity System. Awesome!
The same with my 04 Laramie.

European Vehicles, except for the luxury segment, have been far behind, best was 4 speakers and like 4x 5 watts of sound. Amplifiers from Factory, forget it..

* 19 speakers in a Pickup? Unbelievable!

I still do vinyl.... just bought this off Amazon in amazing condition. Dick Clark's 20 Years of Rock and Roll came out in 1973, which I bought on 8 track. Thought about it last week and ordered it. Sounds great and lots of memories.

My wife bought me this phono, cassette tape, and CD recorder. Great for listening to old stuff.

Enjoying discussion about old sounds. Pretty kool.

Cheers, Ron

There was a time when AM radio was big in the US. In the Chicago Area there were two radio stations battling it out one was WSL and the other was WCFL. I have the complete WCFL Golden OIDES 13 LP Vinyl record set. I don't play them much anymore but I do have a record player that can play them still when I want to.

My collection for CD's must be over 200 or so ranging from the Do-Wop, The Drifters, Beach Boys, Rip Cords era, to ACDC, Led Zepplin and untold amounts of County artist and songs.

In fact I mix my own CD's on my computer taking songs from several artist combing them on my homemade CD's, for playing in my truck or wife's car.

 

[Wiredawg]

I grew up listening to rock on AM... my parents owned a restaurant and I was a dishwasher from around 11 years old to 17 and listened to radio while working my shift. I was pretty good at wiring things, so wired a couple of car speakers in the bathroom at home, so I could listen while showering and getting dressed. I still Sirius(ly) love to listen to music.

And the beat goes on....

Cheers, Ron
