Actually, I'm glad to get the CD changer. I think it will come in handy for a number of reasons:

1) I have friends who are musicians, and friends who run studios; they're always passing around recent work for me to check out. It's almost always on CD. Sure, I could rip it to my iPod, but that's an extra step.

2) I take out books on CD from the library, as well as other spoken-word stuff. It's all on multiple CDs.

3) Er, I own over 2000 CDs. They're not all on my iPod yet!

Sure, I've got gigabytes of content not on CDs; but choice is good.

And I'm glad to see that the BMW changer is slot-loading instead of using a cartridge like my current car (which is way back behind a panel in the cargo area). But in the GLOVEBOX? Does BMW have any idea how much junk I've got floating around in there? I'll probably never even catch a glimpse of the thing, and when I do it'll be choked with detritus...
