(Mis)Uses of Technology

The Case Of The Missing CD

from the cool-stuff dept

I don't want to get in trouble for liking another technology, but... here's a CD player with a hard drive that automatically records the music of any CD you put into it. So, if you lose your CD it's all been stored on the player's hard drive (assuming there's enough space). The player also plays MP3s (of course). It has a bunch of other cool features as well. The only downside is that (not surprisingly) it's a bit on the pricey side.

    not so cool...

    Um. This isn't that amazing or anything. Maybe if they had a DVD version of it? Still wouldn't be *that* cool...

    All of my CDs are already "backed-up"....

    Re: not so cool...

    Well... it is a bit different. I mean, most of my CDs are backed up as MP3s on my computer, but I had to rip them, and it's not quite the same as having it recorded directly onto your CD player (and not as MP3s - I think).
