This is not a solution only a suggestion.
I drive a 95 Toyota Avalon. My CD player is a JVC KD-AR770. It has a USB port that I love. I can’t believe most manufacturers do not offer USB Port!
The current 4 or 8 GB thumb drive prices are pretty low. I purchased several Kingston brand 4 GB drives. I made copies of albums into these drives.
As soon as I attach the drive into the player, it starts playing the first album. It is very easy to go to the next album. To me, usb port is much easier than playing mp3 or wma cd.
You might want to try it. Also, with clip attached to the cd player, it will start using the battery!
