Installed USB CD Player in the Maverick

StevieAzure · Oct 13, 2024

Been meaning to post this. Back in June I finally decided to try one of these USB CD drive that I’d seen a few positive YouTube reviews on. I have a lot of cds and primarily do the majority of my listening to them in the car. So when I got my Maverick back in February, and knew it wouldn’t be coming with one, but had the 90 days of SiriusXM I decided to enjoy that and then look into a cd drive.
So I purchased this one: https://a.co/d/eLVnaIq and it’s worked great ever since. The only real issue is the adhesive strips don’t stick well to the type of plastic underneath the center control cluster so my dad fashioned a little wedge to keep it from falling and to help the strips stick and since then it’s been great.
Keep those CDs spinning!

I just copied all of my CDs onto a USB drive. I use that drive to listen to my music now.

Why didn't you tell me this by "Prime Day"?

I converted all the CDs I knew I'd ever want to listen to again to other formats and put them on my phone. I use the phone's music player to navigate/play the library. I find it easier than navigating a USB drive.

I donated almost all the CDs to a local charity thrift store.

Very easy with Itunes. Once loaded to a PC, copy all or selective to a Flash Drive. Have them (couple 100 CDs) also on my Iphone but find browsing on a flash drive much easier.

What do you do if you don't have a computer or a laptop? As we don't.
If I have to buy a CD drive, plus a PC or laptop. Why don't I just buy one CD player that I can put in my truck? And save the time and money it takes to convert the CDs to a flash drive.

You can do that if you prefer. But if you can find a friend that has a computer you can put your whole collection on one single device and its portable if you are riding in someone else's vehicle. It takes about 2 -3 minutes to convert a single cd.
