I dug up a cd player from the 90s (oh man! I’ve been alive that long!) and I’m using it now. Its so old school! My bro bought it last time. Absolutely delectable sound, construction is so good also.. magnesium alloy body and all. I’m going to try and mod it and stuff it with lithium batteries if I can. Going to ikea tomorrow to study with zg. No mp3 player so decided to grab this along. Some advantages of going old skool:

1. No need to spend some more money, most CDs I have already anyway
2. No need to sync or transfer songs, choosing what to listen is easy.. just grab disc before going out
3. Bringing a pile of discs is not so bad considering I already have like.. another 10kg of stuff anyway
4. Nobody wants to steal it
5. Sound quiality is wayyy higher than mp3. Of course, have to get better equipment to hear the difference

Hmm.. I actually think I like this more than an mp3 player. Its got about 40sec of buffer for shock proofing so I guess thats not too big a problem. Only think I don’t like is.. hmm.. I don’t know.. haha.. I think its so cool! I don’t think I listen to more than a CD each time I go out anyway. This way I can’t listen to music I download too. Lastly, My creative headphones don’t sound as bad as the day I got them already. Quite tragic I’m getting used to them. I thought they were totally crappy when I got them. Haha.. well, at least I didn’t pay for it and the insulation is decent.

I think I’m beginning to be happy with what I have. I have so much already. Just need to open my eyes to what I have instead of what I want
