CD player

The CD player in my older Bose wave just suddenly quit working. I do not want to spend $$ replacing it with another Bose and I am looking for a CD player to replace it. Any brand suggestions? I know streaming is the in thing now but I have so many CD's that I still love listening to.

I know what you mean. I only listened to cds in the car and they don't put the players in the new cars anymore.

Honestly, if you are used to listening to your music on a Bose, you might be disappointed with anything else. I don't have a Bose, but my Mother in law does and it is everything they say it is.

I just thought of something. The player she has is one of the first ones and her CD player stopped working a couple of years ago.

We unplugged it for a minute or so and plugged it back in and it has been working ever since. It's worth a try.

I would try unplugging it from the wall and then clean the CD player with a CD-cleaning kit.

Thanks for the tips but I tried all of those (more than once) and it did not work. I plan to call BOSE but when my CD exchanger stopped working after about 5 years they said they might repair it for around $100 I did not do it.

So did mine. I am using a boom box I have had for years, but the sound is not the same of course.

The other day, either HSN or QVC was selling a boombox. They didn't call it that and boy was it expensive. Mine has radio, CD player and also can play cassettes. I paid under 40 for it years ago and it still works.

I can't use my Boise radio, because it makes a knocking sound where the CD use to play, even without a CD in it.

Bose has never been my choice, but that aside. I have heard them and seen a few my friends purchased, but these were the 1st Bose to have CD players.

Questions: What Inputs are available on your Bose?

If it has an Aux Input, you have to see what type of cable it will accept.

I know some have an Aux Input, and with most electronics, those are to add a wired external device. You can buy a CD player from Amazon for under $40, some even come with a cable.

Got any questions, answer my above, and maybe we can figure it out by you asking more. I'm game!

@bargainsgirl My Bose CD stopped working after many years of delightful listening. Trouble was: a CD from the library was inside the player!! Since I had to return the CD to the library, I had to have a local repair place retrieve the CD and repair my Bose. Fortunately, they only charged $40.00. It was done within 36 hours and I'm happily listening to my Bose CD again. Well worth finding a repair shop to fix your Bose IMHO!

Spend the $$, girl!

DS has a LOT of cd's and I bought him two Sony models on Amazon. One quit after a year. Stupid me bought another Sony. At 6mos THAT quit. I dinked around with Sony warranty for days.

He pitched the second Sony and I got him a Bose last Christmas. He is thrilled.

Make sure to check cash back sites

Hi John,

Thanks for the tip about the aux. I will def try that. I am pretty lame about electonics but this might do the trick. I see lots of players on Amazon... The Bose radio still works so with the aux I can use a cd player and stream from my tablet correct? I read that cd players do just die out after some time. Not worth repairing in most cases.

@bargainsgirl

It "technically" is not streaming. When information passes through any wire or cable it is called hard wired, which is usually the best, but today's technology changes all of that. Streamed/Bluetooth/WiFi/Cloud! All are Wireless, just different names.

If you get the correct cable that plugs into your Tablet's Output and into the Bose AUX Input! You should be ready to go. Just make sure your Bose is set to AUX, as opposed to CD or Radio.

Glad to help whenever I can,
