Me: I can burn 200 music tracks to play on CD?!
My CD Player: These are MP3’s, my boy, and my tired eyes cannot read them. Bring those WAV's that I know and love.
Me: Of course, grandad, of course.
*Sadly choose 10 tracks to burn, and discard the other 190*
There was a window of about 6 months where you could get a portable CD player that could play mp3s
6 months? Cars had them for years.
I had the Panasonic anti skip, and I will happily shout about being the hipster who was rocking the overhead headphones well before that became mainstream 🎧
This review takes me back to my youth ❤️
And the baggy jeans we used to wear back then often had pockets big enough that you could for the whole CD player inside! 😎
Each bullet point was like a jolt of nostalgia. The MusicMatch reference hit me the hardest
Incredible. I had no idea you can still buy these. I think my friend had this exact one back in high school
Dare I hazard a guess you're referring to my pairs of Jnco's ? Apparently they're back in business, but caught shade for being overpriced.
My car CD player had that. And it worked great, until you decided to encode with a variable bitrate (e.g.,
lame --preset r3mix).Oh well, 192 will do.
tell that to my parents car stereo
RIP my blue Rio cd player.
