If you're looking for a great CD Changer

Here's where I jump in. I love the idea of being able to load several CDs and then I don't have to touch them. I just push a button and the one I selects plays. Well, that's one plus when you have a CD Changer. Also, like I mentioned before, you can have your cassette receiver like usual. Now for the negative. Depending on the CD Changer you get, you are only limited to so many CDs in it at once. It's usually 6, 10, or 12. If you don't place it in a convenient spot, it's hard to change them out when you would like. And, I would recommend keeping more than one cartridge. Anyhow, let's get on the the key features:

Additional Disc Capacity:

The easy way to give yourself more variety is to buy a second disc magazine and keep it stocked with discs, so you can pop it in when you get tired of the discs in the first magazine. With some brands, you can control multiple changers if you want additional capacity.

Track Programming/Disc Memory

Some receivers allow you to preprogram the songs you want to hear on multiple CDs loaded in a CD changer that supports this feature. Select a programmed disc and only the tracs you've entered into memory will play. The number of tracks programable are limited depending on the brand.

Disc titling:

Some receivers let you program disc names to appear on the display. This is particularly helpful when you want to locate a particular disc lockated in a multi-disc changer, and you can't remember which slot it's loaded into.
