remember this?

>>57483003
Yes. I also remember carrying multiple cd's with me and having to change them constantly. Also fucking AA batteries suck dick.

>>57483013
where did you keep all the cd's?

>>57483052
My schoolbag.

>>57483003

>>57483003

Worst portable music player ever
Standard tape Walkman was so better, I can't believe someone thought it was a good idea carrying around a thin plastic disk spinning at thousands of rpm with all kinds of mechanical stress

is this the most millennial device ever?

>>57483003
i use headphones like these, pretty comfortable, sound is good i guess

I have never seen such a case that did not destroy the CDs stored within. The data layers of the disc would end up being stuck to the plastic cd holder, and they'd rip off when you remove the disc.

>>57483806
did you leave them in the fucking sun all day or something?

>>57483806
Plastic holder?
Decent cases had one side felt and the label-side plastic

Shit still gives me PTSD.
Also having to carry the thing in a certain position for the CD not so skip so much and anti-shock ate batteries like a motherfucker.

Started using a mini-disk at some point and it was 10x superior to CD players.

Holy shit, yeah. Never actually owned one but on the other hand I was one of the first in the school with an mp3 player.

Haha i was like 5 too lol, born in 1999 le 90s 4 lyf.

60 seconds of anti-shock technology!

Why the fuck couldn't they make CDs slightly smaller so the players would fit in pockets

Portable CD players were a joke. You couldn't actually take them anywhere since they would skip all the time.

>>57483003

Yes, but never owned one. I had a mini-disc player which was superior in pretty much any way.

>>57484380
anti skip was a meme too

That was my first time ever fixing anything. It was a pretty good feeling.
