Couldn't imagine how time flies, I still remember back then when I was a teenager longing for a disc player and those unaffordable cd albums...and now it's already 25 years!

I have that CD player, the Magnavox FD-1000 I think the model is.  In original box with folder that contains manual, cleaning cloth, and Sampler CD.  Even has the original sales receipt from 83'.  If someone wants to make an offer I am open

This is the actual first working one!

For much of my childhood, the CD player was a luxury that was out of my reach, so not surprisingly I felt REALLY awesome when I finally got my first one in the 90s!  Most of the first CDs I bought then are still in my house, showing the wear of age, lol.

I still have my Sony D-5 I bought new after working 2 part time jobs. Only one store in town had a section dedicated to CD's and it was a 1.5 hour bus ride downtown.

First CD I ever bought? Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon.

I still have all of my CD's as well, even some rare ones I ordered from Japan...BEFORE the day of Internet. I actually thumbed through a paper catalogue in one store and waited up to 4 months for it to be delivered.

Today I use my mixtapes more than any other media...THEY ARE SHOWING THEIR AGE LOL!!!

..not me though...I'm timeless

i still have all my shellac phonograph records, and all the supermodern kind of magnetic tapes. the CD, this futuristic technology, still intimidates me

Just wait Sal...

I here that they want to start spinning vinyl at 33 and 45 rpms! What has the world come to? Stay with trusty ole' 78 RPM's..

I fear we've just aged ourselves here Sal...
