What’s this? A CD?!?!?

I pulled just about all of my aftermarket stereo equipment out of the Trailblazer this weekend.  That consisted of my busted-ass deck, two amps, and my subs.  I decided to leave my Alpine Type-R’s in the doors and hook them up to the factory stereo. 

The factory deck has a CD player.  Remember those?  They are about 5″ in diameter, really shiny on one side (that’s where the music comes from apparently) and have a painted label on the other.  These are soooo mid-90’s!  Okay, all kidding aside, after having my iPod hooked up to the aftermarket deck and never using a CD, its a little weird to all of a sudden need one now.  The last time I actually bought a CD was a couple years ago.  Even then, I ripped it to my computer to play on my iPod and put it away, lost to the dust bunnies of time. 

So, to remedy the situation, I have a Griffin iTrip FM Modulator on the way.  Granted, it’s not going to sound really awesome, but at least I’ll be able to listen to most all of my music – 30 GBs, one song at a time.
