I laughed the other day - slipped a mixed CD (burnt from MP3s, and converted back to CDA!) into the car stereo and then looked at the little LCD screen.
No album title? Whaaaat? No track titles? Huuuuh?
What is this primitive system where I have to open a booklet to find out something as simple as a track name?
I honestly can't believe CDs have had such a long life [irony intended]. They were a design fault (aka individual planned obsolescence) because they scratch and become useless. The
whole CD, cover and all, should have been inserted into the player and a slide could have revealed the playing surface like a floppy or a minidisc.
I was in a cafe a few days ago and the CD was skipping. It brought back old memories of the days before MP3s. CDs may have great sound quality, but when they get scratched ... get scratched ... get scratched ... get scratched ...get scratched ... get scratched ... get scratched...
I won't miss CDs at all. Good riddance.
