This CD player has one unique feature: it's freaking rad

Song is The Nocturnal House by Pretty Girls Make Graves off their 2006 album Élan Vital.
The player is a Sony CMT-EX1 manufactured in August 2000. I bought it used at a local thrift store. The sound quality is very good for such a small unit! The speakers came with the device as well.

Le Mircale De L'amour 🎬 Masha aime les contes de fées et bien sûr, elle croit que chaque conte de fée devrait aboutir à une fin heureuse, même si rien ne contribue à cela! Michka espère encore gagner le cœur de sa charmante femelle. Il trouve une accienne gondole au fond du lac de la forêt. Michka décide de le restaurer et invitesa belle à un tour romantique! Personne ne s'attendait à ce que cette historie fasse parfaitement correspondre le nouveau hobby de Masha : théâtre de marionnettes.

Nothing replaces the feeling of being able to watch and see your physical media spinning/working in front of you.

[@LennyMiller739]

Except being able to pull it out while it's still spinning and replace it with a pirated copy of a different game to circumvent the primitive copyright protection

Just wait till my man finds out about record players

[@AutZeroOneGotBanned]

cds are cheaper just ignore the fact that this player is 350 dollars

[@Zveebo]

I had this as my bedroom music system for years - it was exceptionally neat. Kind of amazed to see these now go for quite a lot of money though! The only downside was that when dust got in the mechanism it was basically impossible to clean it out.

[@fraudsarentfriends4717]

Cause dealers have taken over places like eBay and the internet to control prices on used items and keep them high. It's All about rigging the markets.

Physical media is so cool to see working. You don't get that with later cd portables or a Spotify playlist.

[@crashdash0234]

Bought it used one time and man it is my main cd player due to being able to see it spin the awesome album covers

[@Rayzus360]

I started collecting vinyls recently. I really like how we get a physical form of albums and singles and mixtapes that we love. It also helps support the artists more than a streaming platform does!

[@SilverSpade92]

There's a few of these out there, though its more common for there to be a translucent door that moves out of the way. This is probably a better idea too, as it makes cleaning the tray easier. For those interested, here's some model numbers: Sony CMT-EX1 (that's this one, acc. to the description) PHILIPS MC235B/37 (I got this one) SANSUI Micro 100C FISHER SLIM-1500

Soon you will have to connect to the internet to subscribe to a streaming service to activate the CD player for playback.

Cool player bruh 😎

[@Gavineitor]

I love this CD player! The one I have was my grandpas, bought another one for like 50 bucks for replacement parts. At one point the disks wouldn't come up again, after opening it I found that the rubber belt for the motor was quite loose two cuts later and some solvent later it was as good as new.

[@jbrown8746]

This is absolutely sick, CDs have some really cool art and it's a shame when you can't see them playing!

It's insane how manufacturers of cd players can't make a player where you can see it spin. I'd buy a transport instantly.
