I don't need snark. Just got out of the hospital and am trying to get it for my husband for Father's Day. I'm actually ok with tech, built my own website and have to use it when needed. The man likes his CD's. Since I don't have any feeling in my hands, sitting at a computer and ripping CD's for hours isn't a real option. I'm just trying to make a really nice guy happy.
So if you have a solution, I'd really appreciate hearing it. And I am sorry for being cranky. If I can figure out the tech part of it, I"ll delete my post and get out of this forum.
Thanks.

Thank you for your quick reply. I did see this one and choked on the price. My husband just got this truck from his work and didn't have any say in what was going to be on it. Then we found out the CD player wasn't even an option. I really appreciate your input into this. Not the best week and our only kid is on the other side of the country. I want him to have a nice Father's day and he never asks for anything, so I was trying to do this for him.
Much appreciated!

If your computer has a disc drive, you could buy him a nice usb flash drive and put in a note that you'll donate x amount of time to transfer his favorite discs over to the drive.

I’m over 50, and unlike most in my demographic, I haven’t used a CD in at least a decade. Until just now, I didn’t even think my ‘18 had a CD player, but I’m not going out to the garage to check. Smewhere, I still have a couple hundred CDs, in those notebook-like cases... I think. Technology certainly changes fast and frequently. I remember when CDs first hit the scene, right about the time I was about to buy my first decent vehicle, they were pretty expensive and all the rage. So basically, they had a run of about twenty years. Not bad I suppose, since 8-tracks probably didn’t have that length of run and popularity. Dealing with casette tapes was painful enough, but 8-tracks were just damn-near enough to drive you crazy. So as a music lover... I embrace modern technology and the ease of maintaining THOUSANDS of songs, in a device you can hold in your hand.

It was in jest 
I know it's there. My point was... I don't use it and have no need for it because it's unfortunately, antiquated technology. As much as every generation likes the technology that we grew up with, it outdates itself faster than we care for. It's hard to imagine what will replace hard drives, mp3 files, etc, but I'm sure something will. And in a couple decades, someone will be reminiscing of the nostalgia of our current technology. Hard to imagine, but at one time, the AM radio was considered advanced "technology" too.
