I'm an old guy as well. You may want to consider copying (or have some youngster do it for you) your CDs over to a USB thumb drive. You can have hundreds of songs on there and the stereo will play it just fine. That is a lot less to mess with while driving!

This. I have over 1800 songs loaded onto a thumb drive. Use it in the truck and on my boat.

Let's see if a "current" user can give a "now" experience, as I have not set mine up yet. I know that in my '19 Super Duty, I could create playlists (that could be CD names, or artists, or a list of songs that you want grouped together) and select what I wanted to play.

You can rip them to the drive in any category you like, you can index them by album, artist, song title, etc..... the only limit is your imagination.

All the info on how to can be located on the link below.

About 10 years ago, I digitized a whole bunch of albums, dropped them in a folder. Told RIP Google Music to automatically upload them. I could then play all my albums in my car.

What I have been doing for years is ripping my CD's to a hard drive and then copying a selection (play list) to USB thumb drives. Much easier to make use of the USB Type A ports provided in cars and trucks. I use different color USB thumb drives to make it easier to identify them and on each I keep a short selection so easier to find what I want to hear.

The burned MP3 files can also be copied to a smartphone so no need to use Apple Car Play or Siri and share all your personal information with the world.
