    I would rather have only a basic radio with a CD player than with all this technology for an automobile. As a driver of a vehicle and with myself being by myself for a majority of the time while driving, I don't need all this technology stuff, especially since I am driving. All these new gadgets with this technology are more distractions for a driver and I can see why more and more accidents are happening these days with this smartphone technology and this new Infotainment systems in today's new vehicles. Too much technology for your entertainment while driving seriously increases your chances of getting in a serious accident. Just give me a basic radio with a CD player. I just put the CD in before I drive away and I am good to go when I travel back and forth to work. These fancy gadgets like a smartphone, I save for when I am not driving and use when I am on a break at work or at home or whatever. For driving hell no! If I did I would probably have been in a car accident by now and I know other idiots are using this stuff while driving so I have to be on the defensive all the time while driving even with myself enjoying listening to my CDs. Most drivers are way too multitasking with this technology to entertain themselves while driving.

They only listen to mostly pop dreck and current hits. Music to them is only background noise while doing other activities. They don't know or appreciate the sound of live instruments and the musicianship of the performers. This is the two minute attention span generation that are used to disposables and mass marketable items. No streaming devices I heard can come close to a high end cd player or turntable!

  • @Th3Raz96
    @Th3Raz96 Před 2 lety +13

    I'm 24, I started collecting CD's in my teens because, although they _started_ losing popularity then, they also _started_ becoming dirt cheap! I've probably got around a couple hundred as of now, and I keep every one of em in reach of my car stereo obviously.
    I think it's really only a matter of time before CD's (as well as DVD's) become completely obscure, antiquated relics of the past. The most optimistic outlook is that they'll wind up like vinyl records; with an increasingly small cult fanbase who still remember, produce, preserve, and appreciate them.
    That's actually pretty shitty.
    We already see it happening en masse with literally EVERY form of popular media today. Fewer and fewer albums/titles/shows/games etc. are released in physical form anymore. The majority of those that still do come out are slimmed down husks of what they used to be ... and half of _THOSE_ are just a box holding a piece of paper telling you to download it anyway, THE OLE SWITCHEROO!! And now obviously we're starting to see CD players disappear from newer cars.
    The reason this is upsetting goes beyond a collection or a hobby, it's about ownership, man.
    When you buy media you're really just buying a license to use/view it, and that license can be revoked by the copyright holder at any time for any reason. Fun fact, you're technically not allowed to lend that media to someone because YOU are licensed to view that media. Luckily, even if you lose the license to something you physically own, nobody can legally take that item away from you; you'd _technically_ be barred from using it, but this is never actually enforced in this context, and you'd still possess your copy. If you decide to lend your neighbor your Metallica CD, the publisher isn't going to find out, nor stop you.
    Contrarily, there's nothing to stop a copyright holder from revoking your license to digital media that you _literally can not legally access_ without said license -- which they are virtually always legally allowed to do since *they* own the rights and *you* signed a license agreement -- and that's it, poof, gone, you've got no recourse for compensation.
    You can't let your neighbor borrow your digital Metallica album because it's tied to YOUR account, maybe even your device. If you make copies to send them, well that's piracy, and Big Brother is always watching. Remember Napster? 😉
    Even worse, as has been the case with a lot of always-online games, if a piece of media *only* exists digitally, and the ©holder one day says "eh... Feck it, let's shut this down," nobody can EVER enjoy that media again unless one of the license holders backed it up ... and the kicker is, if that backup exists, it's *illegal!* That's piracy, thief!
    It doesn't matter if the user paid good money for their license, they no longer have the right to enjoy something they purchased access to, and if they continue to enjoy it they are, in fact, stealing.
    Neither does it matter if the game was originally free, got deleted, and the person redistributing it after isn't even charging money for it!
    _they just don't want you to have it_
    *cough PT cough*
    And of course, it's all for the love of $$$.
    Digital-only media is *far* cheaper to produce and distribute than physical releases,
    sometimes sells for close to (if not the same) price as physical media,
    can have its support dropped as quickly as it came which means the creators no longer have to work on it or pay upkeep while you no longer have art to enjoy,
    and can just str8up be taken away from you, arbitrarily justified only by TOS that you yourself agreed to.
    Digital media is obviously convenient, it absolutely has a place in our culture, but when it comes to ownership, physical is the way to go. The implications of eradicating it entirely are almost dystopian

    Many people STILL have huge CD collections and are not going to throw them away for these new streaming services. The problem with buying an external player like this one is that one doesn't know how it will sound in the vehicle. Will it sound like the CD or will it sound like compressed streaming music? Metra, I think you and others in your field should ENCOURAGE auto manufacturers to continue putting CD players in their vehicles...or at the very least, making them optional equipment.

Very frustrating. So I brought it to the dealership to have them look at it and I though maybe I did something wrong. They tried and tried and no go. So now I don't know what to do. Help!!!!

    Thanks for this informative video. But I have a question: the featured product specifies "Android Version 4.0" in its description. As an iPhone owner, I'm confused what that has to do with playing CDs in my car. Does it matter if I have an iPhone with iOS software? If so, is this unit also available in an iOS 15.3 version? I'd appreciate some direction. Thanks!

    If that unit is coded to have your stock stereo system to think that this is an iPod or MP3 player, does that mean that if you have a burned CD, it will display the track data on your stock CD player screen? It would make sense if you are MP3 player or iPod did the same thing in your vehicle.
