Okay, I know how lame this sounds but, without immersing myself in the world of new digital/download/streaming, etc., I want to know if it's still possible to buy a reasonable home-CD player that employs its own amp.
What about those Bose units that were popular a while ago? It looks as though I'll be staying close-to-home from now on because of health concerns. I want to be able to listen, and to play along with, my huge library of music CDs, but would like decent sound-quality.
Thanks,
Something to play CDs on at home?

Rip CDs to Computer
I downloaded MusicBee, a free media player. Â
https://getmusicbee.com/
Then I ripped my CDs to my computer.  I have 1,567 tracks at easy access. Â
I also loaded all the tracks to a Lexar 32GB Jump Drive and can play them in my pickup truck.Â
