Jeesh isn't your car fairly new, that's pretty sad to see. I'm guessing its why they say they make more money in parts and service because the prices are outrageous. I'm 31 and haven't used my CD player at all but I will say flac cd quality is probably the only time I've used the CD player.
Holy crap, that's 9K USD too, I can't imagine what my dealer would charge, by the time they add their tax it'll exceed 2/3rds of it's value and total the car. I don't think I'd even be able to part it out!
Electronic failures follow the bell curve, you've had one die early so the next one should last a lifetime!
Short of an Ipod with ALAC files it's also the only way to get quality audio into the system.

@ItzFilyO I always had trouble with my '92 Camry spitting out that portable CD cassette adapter after like 20min of continuous play lol...I went through at least 4 or 5 cassette adapters like that after various issues.
One day, my pops hooked me up with a double-din Kenwood tape/cd player - the coolest part was you could press a button and it would flip over into the dash and look like nothing was there (instead of detaching it and keeping it in a sunglasses-like holder).
Just out of curiosity, i looked up how much a dealer is asking for a late model Camry w/navi system's head unit cost and it was over $7000 - eBay/junkyards have them for a couple hundred...INSANE dealer pricing to say the least! If you were outside the warranty, i'm sure you would've gone the eBay route.

And this GS unit cost $12K and doesn't even have penguins.
