MultiDisc CD Player

[RooWalk]

Looking for a recommendation!!
I just bought a 2010 Hyundai Tucson.
It has a single CD player. I am am so spoiled with the 6-cd changer in my Seville (traded) and Expedition and F-150. I am not ready to replace the OEM stereo/navigation system, yet.
Single CDs are ... okay. But as a Broadway nerd, there are plenty of 2 disc shows!!! Listening to the First Act repeatedly is kinda boing,
Streaming is out (I want the whole show, not a track), my phone is absolutely a non-starter.
Is there a unit to plug in my new-to-me car to play multiple discs?
I have a big library. I am semi-Luddite and like my hard copies.
My back up plan is an mp3 player and use that or perhaps a thumb drive ... again - recommendations??

You can rip the whole disc in into a single file

Does the radio have auxiliary input or USB input?

I'd rip CDs to a thumb drive. I have ~200 CDs on an SD card in my phone and just stream via bluetooth to my HU.

I do the same. Ripping them to .flac format and it sounds just as good as the original cd

Agreed. I have the rare track that doesn't match CD quality, but I just have to live with that. Sure beats hauling around my CD collection, swapping CDs while driving down the road, etc.

Right I got 8k tracks on a SD card in my phone. I couldn't sit in my car with all those CD 's

I wish I had the time to rip the remaining 200-250 CDs in my collection to MP3. I started ripping my CDs in alphabetical order. Everything after Led Zeppelin had been ignored.

well ... that is why I pick 6 discs and load them before I drive. No need to haul more than that. My entire library is several hundred discs. Curated and organized by genre.

Seems like the USB is going to be the thing ... but show order and coordination is going to be more work :-(

I've been ripping since I got my first pc I did .wma back then and had my pc hooked up to my home stereo

The complication of the install totally depends on how mechanically inclined you are. For even a weekend installer, this is an extremely simple install. For someone who has problems with basic mechanics, then this might be a bit harder. It's very important to make sure you don't pinch any wires and/or drill threw stuff that shouldn't be drilled threw. I believe a shop would install it for less than $100.

Years ago, I had a multiple disc cd changer that worked by tuning my radio to a certain frequency. It had an attached remote control. Worked fine for me. I would contact Crutchfield or do a Google search to see if they are still available.

 

[Old_Slapper]

Those were called FM-modulated CD changers. Those were HUGE popular back in the 90's and early 2000's. We installed those all the time. That is what is being recommended for the OP.

recommendations?

If you're dead set on a CD changer, I'd recommend searching for a used Alpine Ai-Net headunit and 6 or 12 disc changer to go along with it. Headunit models that start with CDA, CVA, or IVA will control CHA-624, 604 or 1214 changers.

Getting a single or double DIN radio in your 2010 Tuscon shouldn't be a problem.

Best of luck enjoying your Broadway shows.
