I have a Sony cd/radio with a USB port. I listen to music only, loaded onto a thumb drive/usb stick. It has to be pretty loud to match the dramatics of the Morgan. Any hifi pretensions are quickly dispelled, even pootling around town the stereo competes with road and traffic noise. All that is not stopping me from considering some more muscular speakers that might fit into the holes provided as those fitted sound tinny. Anyway, to your question, I have so far not used the CD player as a usb drive holds so much more music. If I had a Bluetooth unit, I would use that with one of those stick on remote control devices.
