CD changer

Multi-album audio device

A CD changer is a device that holds multiple compact discs and switches between them automatically, eliminating the need to manually swap discs.

Common in car audio systems and home stereos from the 1990s through the 2000s, CD changers typically held five to twelve discs in a magazine or carousel.

The technology became largely obsolete with the rise of MP3 players and streaming audio.
