Speaking personally, the only time I miss a CD head is on the drive home from the music store after getting some new discs!



That's when you pull the crappy discman out of the glove box, assuming you aren't using line-in for something else. Even then, you can maybe splice two things into the line in.

I plan on having a connection always attached to line in and have it wired to the point where I can connect my existing crappy portable cd-player when I need it.
