   My 1998 Camaro does the same thing...It has a CD player, but I seldom use   
   it because I'd rather listen to talk radio, even PBS is acceptable at   
   times.

   My 2002 Silverado doesn't have a CD player, so I improvise when I need   
   music. I have a small stereo transmitter that plugs into an MP3 player and   
   it will broadcast an FM Stereo signal to the vehicle's radio. I forget   
   where I bought that little transmitter, but it was cheap enough.
