I recently got a new one. It's not in my computer, though. It's this cute little chi-fi thingy that I connected to my speaker with optical wire.
I have a collection of CDs so I figured I might just as well listen to them. Been buying some new ones too.
I still do! AND it's connected and working (not compatible with any O/S though)
Oh, but through the power of line-in it is actually compatible with everything :)
I see you lived the Sinclair ZX81 era too (yes, i still have mine, it worked when I tried 8 months ago)
Not to disappoint you or anything, but I started with an Amiga 500 and am really retro enthusiastic.
No offence taken
.mp3 CD players were awesome. 740 MB of music at a time when most CDs only had 12 tracks, so it was like 10x the music on the same sized disc.
Apparently .mp3 DVDs were also a thing, but I never got a chance to try them out as solid state .mp3 players became dominant then.
Now I'm stuck largely streaming since my phone doesn't have a microSD card slot (thanks Obama).
Dont let your dreams be dreams. Get out and buy yourself a CD drive or even a HiFi and show them streaming service who's boss.
Well why didn’t you take care of your cd player?
I remember when computers came with cup holders.
I see that's Windows NT 3.1, but now I'm curious, did they have a Windows 3.11 version of the M$ CD Player app?
I loosely recall Win3.11 CD playback requiring DOS drivers and somewhat proprietary Windows software provided by the sound card manufacturer..
A driver and loading mscdex in dos yes, proprietary Windows software no, at least for a standard IDE/ATAPI cd rom drive. CD data would work as long as the dos driver was installed right, and for cd audio, Windows 3.1x has a driver that comes with it called "[MCI] CD Audio" that will need to be installed in Control Panel -> Drivers. :-)
