The degredation I have on CD is from mild scratches and flexing from cold and heat...which you don't have with flash drives.
You need one of these: https://www.jfjeasypro.com/product/easy-pro/

I got one (not exactly the same model) because I got a few DVDs that were scratched and I didn't discover it while they could still be returned. And of course my CDs have gotten scratched over the years.

You can't buff out disc rot, though. :( I've had that on some discs, too.

I did that until the folder size started to cause problems. Now I just use Plexamp to play from my home server (with local downloads as needed for low-connectivity places).

But fwiw, if you want to add audiobooks to the equation, I think audiobookshelf+Prologue is the way to go.

I use my own USB stick with my choice of music.

I mostly use SiriusXM satellite radio and YouTube for my music needs but I would love to see a photo of how it looks mounted in the interior of your Maverick.

Never use CD's to play music anymore - I get CD so I can use Apple ITunes to organize songs, then copy ITunes files over to the flash drives....I just keep the CD as my original backup..my flash drives are 1, 2 gigabytes for $3 or $4 each from AliExpress.

Itunes allows you to preference what to play, sequence, volume, and lot more preferences. AliExpress flash drives are dirt cheap. I find on the Maverick if you put too many songs on a flash drive CarPlay is slow to Index the music, so I put like type music on each flash drive. Flash drive is much faster than a CD. I find best places for "new" CD's is Ebay or Goodwill, sometimes Amazon. 95% of the time they are new CD's.

There's no place in the interior to set this CD player I bought so I 3D printed this little tray. The round bit fits snuggly in the cigarette lighter and suspends the player up out of the way without taking up any storage space.

Hi I like your set up. I’d like to try. Will you be sharing the .stl or 3d file. Also does the cd player have a lid or is it a slide out?

Great idea! Yes, will you be sharing the .stl or 3d file? Also, where'd you get that cd player?
