Anyone have recommendations for a CD player I can charge via USB and play via BT (or USB) in my car?
A recent post here made me realize how much I really wish I just could pop in a CD while driving (you can skip those, and I can make mix CDs, so no need for cassettes haha). I commute a decent amount and I'm using a Pixel with GrapheneOS. Adding a streaming service would just be one more piece of Google I'd have to add to my "work" profile. I'm listening to some great podcasts, but I'd rather go full nostalgia without ripping all my CDs.
That being said, I'd like any recommendations. USB would be nice for the constant power option, but blutooth is doable as well. TIA!
If your car has an aux in jack, that may be the best option available, otherwise, an aux out to Bluetooth or FM adapter may work better for your purposes than getting a dedicated walkman with Bluetooth out.
I'm trying to just play CDs... I think it may have an aux, but, I don't see aux options on amazon at least?
You don't need an Aux Out on the Walkman. Grab a 3.5mm male to male, put one side in the headphone jack, and the other in the car's aux in port. Will probably sound better than Bluetooth. If you're current player has a wall charger, there might be a hook up already for USB or a car charger.
Bro, I'm with you. I have portable USB CD players. Here's one from Amazon. And here is another one, link here. Some of them are charged via USB, some are charged using rechargeable batteries, some have extra features like Bluetooth to stream to a Bluetooth device as well. Make sure you get the one that has all the features you want. Nostalgia hits hard and I have plenty of old CDs like Linkin Park.
FYI, the "h" is missing from the front of your first URL making the link unclickable.
Fixed thanks
THANK YOU! Not that either of those are what I was hoping for, but you actually answered the question haha.
I suspect neither of those came up in my searches due to regional bullcrap, but now I know good options are out there and I'll use these to base my decisions on.
Seriously, it's much appreciated!
A quick search on Amazon came up with this:

Bluetooth or aux output, powered by a rechargeable battery that is charged via USB (or continually powered by USB).
That's not my problem, I'm looking for the CD player. One that can hook into usb for power, and BT for output. I seriously don't see any old-school options that I'd like to invest in otherwise.
