Am I the only one thinking this liiks like AI slop? The text on the box is super inconsistent
Could also be a bad AI upscale. My iphone does it with text that’s far away
We thought so to, so we went ahead and looked up a few more boxes and nah that’s just how it was designed.
ooh okay! Also, I noticed it might be some lightning/shimmering effect making it look really odd.
The 90s were a wild time to be alive.
Does it cloak?
That’s why nobody can find theirs anymore.
I would love to have one of those. Couldn’t find any active listings, but old listings had them going for like $250+ which isn’t too bad for a collector’s item, I guess.
I did come across a TNG CD holder: https://www.ebay.com/itm/117030364928
Apparently you can only fit 4 compact discs in a Galaxy class ship lol
Depending on when it came out $250 wouldn’t even have been that expensive. I think the early discmans were about that price, albeit for a bundle that came with headphones and a car charger and stuff.
Wow, that’s very helpful for uh, holding… four CDs I guess.
“up to”.
Who has only four CD’s?
There are five CDs! How many do you see now?
THERE. ARE. FOUR. CDS 😭
Now, if only they’d sold a device that could play isolinear chips. As I recall all of Jadzia’s favourite Klingon operas fit on one of those…
I’m actually starting to get back into CDs. Found a bunch of my old CDs in a box while I was cleaning and have been listening to them a lot lately. Beats the absolute crap out of streaming, and I’m now realizing I miss the “curated” feel of listening to either a studio album or a mixed CD I made two decades ago that still plays somehow.
Even thought about buying a fresh pack of CD-R’s and burning CDs again. My car is one of the last models to come with a CD player, so might as well use it :)
Burning CD’s is fun. Please burn lossless files and not mp3s.
You saying this to a guy who burned 96kbps MP3s to a CD. 96 kbps MP3s that were ripped from another CD I owned and could have re-ripped at an acceptable bitrate had I not been stuck with the shareware version of MusicMatch Jukebox which was the only software I could run to rip CDs lol
To this day, Eve 6 does not sound “right” unless it’s horribly compressed and clipped. Kind of my own, weird version of “sounds better on vinyl”.
But I do have much better tools today, so I can go FLAC through the whole process.
Albums are such a lost art, it kills me.
They were Worf’s and they were cardassian isolinear rods.
WTAF. Wonder what that is going for these days?
Not bad honestly
That packaging is way too large.
This is one of the sexier objects
If you owned one of these and it broke it would have been replaced under warranty, but instead of shipping you another USS Defiant CD player, they’d send you a USS São Paulo CD player. You could still call it the Defiant after-the-the-fact, but deep down you would know it wasn’t the same.
You got a Sao Paulo? All I got was a shitty Valiant.
It looks nothing like the picture on the box
We have Defiant at home.
It’s the Valiant.
I’d love to listen to listen to my nu metal CD’s on this.
