Remember when CDs used to skip?

I think the more pertinent question is if you remember CDs.

Oh yes. Try listening to a cd in the bumpy car while your parents drive and holding the cd player up so it can read ahead then a couple BIG BUMPS AND I CANT HEAR MY MUSIC DAMMIT SLOW DOWN!!!!!!!!

No no no. Stop it.

I’m not old enough for the musical medium of my youth to be forgotten.

Remember when your portable cassette player needed a latch to keep you from throwing the cassette while you were running?

Do you remember ordering things by mail with a catalog?

CDs? Those were for the rich kids. It was all about making mixtapes by listening closely to the radio and mashing the “Play/Rec” button when your favorite song comes on, and then hoping the dumbass deejay didn’t ruin the last few seconds of the song by talking over it.

Still do it once in a while for nostalgia sake.

All the things you get to do. Like write a check, seal and stamp an envelope, go to the Post Office. Then you get to wait 7-10 days for your stuff to arrive! It’s fantastic fun.

I do. When I was young, my brother and I dind’t make Christmas lists. We just circled the things we wanted from the Sears Wishbook.

I’ve gone through a few of those. I finally punted and bought a Bluetooth speaker to use in my car. But I played many, many CDs through one of those on road trips. When I got my first clickwheel iPod, the breakthrough realization was that I no longer had to stand in front of my CD shelf and try to decide which CDs to take. I could take them all.

What if you put an iPhone cassette adapter into one of these?! Ultimate hipster level achieved.

You need to hook a tube amp to the out of the walkman with some snazzy vintage speakers.

The very last portable CD player I ever bought was capable of reading MP3 CDs. I ripped all my music and burned it onto about 6 CDs. It was really hard to surf through all of those songs using the 1" LCD screen on the player. Then someone stole it. Then I bought an iPod.

Portable CD players and CDs are still sold in places like Best Buy, not THAT old.

I had that exact CD player. It was awesome. You could jog for 45 seconds before the skipping started!

My car doesn’t even have a CD player in it, just radio, AUX and USB.

My car doesn’t even have a CD player. It’s got a two-band radio with a cassette deck. It doesn’t even have AUX in.
