    There was a window of about 6 months where you could get a portable CD player that could play mp3s

      I had the Panasonic anti skip, and I will happily shout about being the hipster who was rocking the overhead headphones well before that became mainstream 🎧

      This review takes me back to my youth ❤️

      And the baggy jeans we used to wear back then often had pockets big enough that you could for the whole CD player inside! 😎

        Incredible. I had no idea you can still buy these. I think my friend had this exact one back in high school

        Each bullet point was like a jolt of nostalgia. The MusicMatch reference hit me the hardest

      My car CD player had that. And it worked great, until you decided to encode with a variable bitrate (e.g., lame --preset r3mix).

      Oh well, 192 will do.
