    These adapters were perfect… The only problem was that personal CD players of the same era skipped when you looked at them wrong.

      You definitely had to keep the cd player in a level spot in your car where it didn’t bounce around a lot

      I remember buying a Sony mp3 CD player with 5-second skip delay for $80.

      Everyone was still using regular CD players with their 80 minutes of audio, carefully holding their precious device.

      While I was living like a god, playing over twenty hours of music, dropping my player over and over, without losing a beat.

      I remember shopping for diskmans that had the longest anti-skip.
