    I no longer have any device capable if playing or even reading CDs, but I stille have mine on the wall as if I built a shrine to how much of an old fuck I am 😄

      I still have mine at my parent’s house. Probably a mix of music and PS2 games.

        Music and PC games in my case, pun intended 😁

        Yup,!

        So’s my Ultima Online: The Second Age case, Beatles - 1, Frank Zappa - Over-nite Sensation, my Jesus Christ Superstar (movie version) soundtrack and my promotional CD from a local disco band called Boogieknights I stumbled (in more than one sense of the word) on during a pubcrawl many years ago 😁

      Recently I went and bought a vinyl, cd, cassette player. I busted the cd wallet out of the closet and bought a bunch of cassettes at the flea market

        I just learned from my doctor that you can poop in a cup and mail it off somewhere instead of getting the finger up the butt. Yay! Now I can procrastinate and not do something only mildly unpleasant instead of not doing something miserable.

    Just the other day, I wanted to take off my hoodie and tie it around my waist. Then I realized I could literally talk about the 90s like “I tied my hoodie around my waist, which was the style at the time”.

    • ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I miss wearing short-sleeved graphic tees over long-sleeved white tees. Everybody reminisces about the '90s flannel shirts but I feel the dual tees thing was more representative.

      • MIDItheKID@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Short sleeve graphic tee over a long sleeve white tee, Jnco jeans, a big ass wallet chain, and some wrap around the back Sony headphones for the diskman in my Jean pockets. I was preeeeety cool.

    I remember having a cd player that could play mp3 cds in my car, that was great. Music for hours with no skips or having to swap anything

      Fancy people had like a 10 cd changer in the trunk

      • ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I drive a 25-year-old car and the only reason I’m able to play music from my phone on the car’s sound system is that it was built to accommodate a 6-disc CD changer in the trunk. For $50 I was able to hook up an accessory that plugs into the changer port and fools the car stereo into thinking the audio signal from the phone is actually coming from a CD changer. Unfortunately my newest phone of course has no 3.5mm audio jack and the USB-C adapter has like a third the maximum volume of a normal plug. Oh well, better for my hearing at least.

    I recently got a second hand DVD with a Wii game on it, and for the first time in many years I found myself wiping down a disc with a microfibre cloth. I actually cleaned it like 4 or 5 times before I stopped getting errors, which makes me wonder if there were discs from the 90s that I could’ve saved that way. I never realised it might take that many tries.

      I recall being told that CDs were bad to keep in cars because of the heat.

      I always kept my CD wallet (a small one with 10 discs that I’d switch out every now and then) under the seat and never had a problem. Before I had that, I had a CD case that kept maybe 20 discs in their jewel cases that I kept behind the driver’s seat, and no issues there either (though that was MUCH harder to swap discs while on the road). I also had a visor holder that I later used in the motorhome with MP3 CDs (now I could take my whole collection!).

      In the early 90s, I paid $300 for a very basic in dash Sony CD player with output for only two speakers. Somewhat early adopter tax.

    I drew all over my CD wallet with a white out pen. Because that’s what you did with things that were made of that binder material.

    I still have 3 CD wallets like that one full of CDs, DVDs and PS1/2/Dreamcast games.

  • dan1101@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    CDs were so much better than cassettes. But as soon as I could get an MP3 player in the mid 1990s I was over CDs forever. The first car MP3 player I had was a dock for a computer hard drive, it had a faceplate that displayed file info and a knob to select songs/folders.

      We got a first gen iPod when we leased a New Beatle convertible in… whatever year that must have been. It still had an actual spinning hdd inside with, I want to say, 30gb of storage. I regret tossing it eventually. Those are collectors items now.

      source
      • MutilationWave@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        That sounded high so I looked it up. It was 5gb! Seemed like so much at the time. Of course I’m so old I remember my first computer had a 200mb hard drive and I wondered how anyone could fill up so much space then.

        I had a double-sided suitcase type thing with slots for the cassette cases, it must have held 50 at least. That was on my car

        And a wooden rack in the house that held dozens. I still have it and the cassettes in a closet somewhere.

    Reminds me of when I was going through stuff in storage years ago and found my box of music and game CDs. I realized I could just download anything I wanted from that box and tossed them. Felt like a waste, but I didn’t want to deal with finding someone who might actually want them.
