Do you have a PC and a home network? If so, you might consider a digital music player like the AudioTron (
AudioTron) or the SqueezeBox (
SqueezeBox). Both are two or three hundred dollars, and allow you to play thousands of CD's from your computer (assuming you have the disk space). The only real downside that I see is that you have to rip all your CD's to some other format (FLAC, WAV, or MP3) and store them on the computer. This get's over the one thing that I really don't like about the mega changers though, in that it always seems that when I want to listen to my current favorite CD it's somewhere I'm not (i.e. the car, at work, upstairs, wife's car, etc...). I've not purchased one yet, so I don't have any personal experience, but plan to unless there's something that I'm missing. I've already got both a wired and wireless network in my house (mostly used to share the cable modem), so I'm all set there.
