Unfortunately with the age of our equipment, these companies are going out of business because of new technology.
I would recommend trying Ebay (I looked no SAVR 3s are out there. The other option would be to convert over to the Slink-e that was manufactured by Nirvis (who is also out of business), but has an active yahoo groups, (not that active, but the CDJ software used to control Slink-e is available for download via its members). But then you would have to purchase a Slink-e either via ebay or if a member of the Yahoo groups sells one, which is happening more and more.
The other option would be to rip the CDs to a PC, I started this process, but I have 3 400 disc changers, so 1200+ CDs, Its a very monotonous process, takes forever, and the results were not that good. The CDs played perfectly good in the changers but at least 40percent of the ripping failed, swapped out CDROM drive with similar results, so I gave up.
I purchased a second Slink-e so I have a backup. If you go this route, do research, some Slink-es only have the IR module installed not the Control ports for the Sony Changers.
