EDIT: The only reason why I still had it at this point was because I could use it with other apps. However, now that my Spotify Subscription is cancelled, it doesn’t work with anything. It’s mildly infuriating because today, I can’t still use it with other apps like I was able to yesterday.

Please don’t make the same mistake I made. No one should buy this.

      CDs skip when you hit bumps

      Is your deck is from a dollar store lol

      You could buy portable DVD and CD players back in 2005 that would keep playing without a hitch even if you dropped them. Admittedly this was mostly down to them caching the content in RAM and spinning down to save battery power…

        Is your CD deck from a dollar story.

        I haven’t used a CD deck in over a decade. I literally don’t know how CDs would even sound in my car’s deck, because it’s a dead technology. I genuinely cannot believe anyone in a developed nation would still purchase a CD.

        So yeah, probably?

          The only reason to purchase a CD nowadays I think is memorabilia, or to support an artist/group… aside from that it’s pretty much as you say, physical media is a dying format.

          Vinyl is an outlier, but even then modern vinyl players are noticeably worse than ones manufactured several decades ago

            Or a very solid way of backing up important stuff like family photos, because no burglar in their right mind would steal a DVD from your home.

              Shelf life isn’t long enough, you’d be having to constantly re-burn them every few years.

        That Sony S2 life.

        The skip protection on those things was unbelievable, and they were built like tanks.

        Mine took a spill out the back of a pickup on the freeway and kept working like a champ.
