Newer cars without cd players-what now?

Since I'm considering buying a new SUV in the near future, I'm learning real fast that cd players are no longer available. Since I'm not computer savvy on transferring cd's to MP3 to USB thumb drives, I thought I might solicit some help from you "experts". I saw an article on Google on how to do this and the suggestion was to purchase a Teac CD-P650 cd player that could do this in one easy step, but I need some answers on what to do. I downloaded the manual, but it doesn't address my questions. When you have transferred the first cd to USB, do you continue to keep on transferring cd's until the thumb drive is full? I'm assuming you can then access the various cd's through the infotainment center on the vehicle?

I'm an old "geezer" and still love my flip-phone and cd collection, so this new tech stuff is a bit bewildering to me. Any advice would be appreciated.

According to Mapman the answer is yes, sort of
He said the Acura tlx rips a cd to its internal hard drive and then that is it, no need to use the actual cd again.
Technology is running amok!

Lots of options for playback once you have ripped your cds to your computer.
As I always carry my phone I just bought a 64gb micro sd card for my LG g5 and transferred albums I wanted from my computer to my phones sd card.
Then I usually connect by Bluetooth as you are supposed to do, and select whatever I want to play. Only downside on this is that I have to select the music on the phone not from the "infotainment" center...... Seriously who the Hell came up with that tag!
