Default Stereo went Loco Tonight!

I was riding alon tonight and i tried to switch tracks on my factory cd changer and it wouldnt work. It stopped playing for a second, so I took cartridge out and put it back in. I put it on fm and it worked fine, but i couldnt switch from cd, tape for fm2. It was playing fine and i could select preset channels. When I got home I turned car off and back on and it was fine. worked perfect. I do remember right before it did it I hit a small bump nothing out of the normal. What would cause it to do that?

Oh i have a 98 gs400 with nakamici all factory.

could be the changer cartridge went bad. They tend to do that a lot.
