Re: Garage Refurb
I'm also considering picking up a CD player to stick in the cabinet too
On second thought, maybe I should just get a blu-ray player, I believe they will play CDs like a DVD player will.
Nutts, the blu-ray players have dropped in price to the point it's a no-brainer. I have two suggestions you might want to consider.
1) If you have a collection of CDs and want a place to store (and play) them, Sony made quite a few CD changers over the years so used ones are plentiful. I have two Sony CDP CX455 400 CD changers. I use one to play audiobooks and the other to play music through the intercom and stereo system. They sell for around $100 used on eBay.
The weak link in the changers are the two skinny drive belts and they run about $12 on the internet.
2) If you have music stored on your computer but you don't want to tie up your computer, you can pick up an iPod. New ones cost several hundred but working used ones sell for around $50. I picked up three 30Gb Classics a few years ago, loaded 1,200 songs on them and play them on shuffle mode through the stereos in the two cars and the third through the system in the garage with a couple of switches letting me also play it through the living room or outside speakers.
My wife and I like listening to commercial- and chatter-free books and classic Rock&Roll.
