RE: Portable CD Players. That was a Horrible Time to be Alive!
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Still have 2 of my old portable CD boom boxes. They will last forever. The newer, more expensive one, which included an aux to hook up an mp3 player to it, the speakers had an unforgivably loud hum. More power, more unfiltered white noise, I guess.
Thank for the relatable story. Most of my old burned CD's probably barely work without skipping. My DVD's almost none of them work.

Do you walk around with one of them on your shoulder, intimidating the public?
I used to download music a lot through Kazaa, way before anybody was thinking of it as illegal or even problematic because the trade off was you'd get such crappy quality audio, loads that just cut off halfway through a song, and viruses to boot.
But I was poor so having a stack of re-writables was my best way and those guys do NOT last long. I understood their surface to be almost like jelly that just warped with heat and time.
Then I had this MINI cd player which was my favourite but lasted for like a month. If I still had that I bet I could sell it as a rare antique for a hefty price.
