CD Player

[AJ]

So Jana and I are ordering up a CD player that is small in design, won't crap out in a week, and plays both CDs and MP3 cds.

I came across this little unit while looking and it has me thinking about it and other possible options I am not aware of.

What would be some suggestions to use. This would be for the baby room.

holy moly you could sharpen cd's and cut people! Very cool design but I assume for cd playing use it has to be still on a table or something. not like you could really use it as a cd player in a car. be cool for a desk or something to take up very little room and add on some speakers. let us know how it is.

I'm 95% sure that thing is a concept rendering and not actually for sale. It is pretty cool though.

I have no real info to add to this thread outside that

That thing is sweet...

If it's anywhere around the baby, I think one that fully encloses the CD is wise.

 

[AJ]

Yeah, I posted that link cause it got me thinking. It's sweet, but Dan's right; not available. Surprising though I think. It's been a LONG time since I've picked out a good CD player, so any suggestions that fit what I'm looking for would be helpful.

Any particular reason you're looking at CD players specifically? Portable MP3 players are pretty cheap these days, and many manufacturers make tabletop speaker systems specifically for those players that sound quite good.

I actually dislike the mp3 players such as ipods. You end up with WAY to many songs and it's a more of a hassle for me to change them out than just burn another CD with a new batch of songs on it.

That's awesome! Paint a little pink and brown to match the room and I'm set! hahah, nice find!

That's like some Marty McFly shit right thurr.

Nice chop on a set of dookies (dookies=Air Force Ones for those that haven't sold shoes to the urban crowd)

LOL! I thought dookie was a term for marijuana!

We want something to play cd's in the baby's room, not just an mp3 (iPod) type player.

Any best buy/target/wal-mart should have cheapy boom boxes that will last a long time if there not moved around a lot. Decent ones should start at $25...

Maybe you're thinking of dutchie.

Like "pass the dutchie on the left hand side"

I still don't understand why you can't just get an MP3 player with speakers. Just make playlists for each CD if you want. Welcome to the 21st century.

 

[AJ]

Cause for me it's easier to use CD's. I already have one iPod I don't use much at all.

 

[dmention7]

I'm in the same boat as AJ. I have my entire CD collection converted to MP3s, but 75% of the time, I just grab a couple CDs to throw in my car instead of putting the music on a portable player.

 

[Z-licious]

AJ, that's because you are old and new technology scares you. However, for those of us born before the stoneage, MP3 is so much more convenient in the long run. The downfall is sound quality suffers. I'm a quality whore and even I will side with MP3.
