when did cd players come out in cars?
2010s
the process of playing an audio cd, touted as a digital audio storage medium, starts with the plastic polycarbonate compact disc, a medium that contains the digitally encoded data. the disc is placed in a tray which either opens up (as with portable cd players) or slides out (the norm with in-home cd players, computer disc drives and game consoles). in some systems, the user slides the disc into a slot (e.g., car stereo cd players). once the disc is loaded into the tray, the data is read out by a mechanism that scans the spiral data track using a laser beam. an electric motor spins the disc. the tracking control is done by analogue servoamplifiers and then the high frequency analogue signal read from the disc is digitized, processed and decoded into analogue audio and digital control data which is used by the player to position the playback mechanism on the correct track, do the skip and seek functions and display track, time, index and, on newer players in the 2010s, display title and artist information on a display placed in the front panel.
cd player
in a compact disc player one can only shuffle songs on that cd, or with some models that could hold more than one cd, shuffle the songs on all of those cds. some cds have been designed for the shuffle feature on cd players, such as they might be giants' "apollo 18". more modern cd players come with the shuffle feature.
