Hello Gerald,

I opted for an AM/FM with auxiliary USB drive when I converted from the old (and non-working) AM radio in my car.  The advantage of the auxiliary USB drive is that it takes up almost no space in the glove compartment and you can fit an unlimited number of songs on the thumb drive(s) that you might keep in the glove box.  Most new cars have done away with CD/DVD drives in favor of USB drives (probably for the same reasons). 

Good Luck,
Dave

Found this online... It uses (2) batteries and it can connect to your stereo if you have a pin aux input on your radio... Price is right. Amazon has one too with a USB cable.
