New video out today: anybody use MP3 CDs? I'm fascinated by this "format" which appeared with almost no fanfare at all. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkIR...

Haven't watched yet, but there was a window of time when car stereo CD players supported MP3 CDs before MP3 players were readily available and widely supported. Got a lot of use of the format back then.Haven't watched yet, but there was a window of time when car stereo CD players supported MP3 CDs before MP3 players were readily available and widely supported.

In 2001-2004 ish our cd player in our GW we worked in used em. Hilarity ensurd
we used them a LOT in my mom's car from like 2003-2008 - the CD player she had used them and the features like it telling us the song name and allowing a lot more songs on a CD made it ideal for road trips
Oh man yep I got one of those in Jan '03. A little Rio portable, so that I could run it in the car. Later I got a car that would read those CDRs, which was great until smartphones landed.
As someone that grew up in the 2000s in south east part of the world, mp3 CDs were a common sight everywhere. Don't have a PC to burn CD, not a problem, ask someone with one and burn as many as you want as long as you supply the CD.
Worked at a corporate record store in high school circa 1999 and saved up enough for an anti-skip CD player that could do mp3s. My Napster/Kazaa haul lived on CD except for the favorites, which got a place of honor on this thing's 32mb compact flash
I bought a couple of audiobooks in that format.
I remember it was a game changer for road trips when car's CD players could handle it.
I did, I have quite a few CD's marked "MP3's" that while initially were backups to my computer, I had a portable CD player that I took those discs with to high school and it was a blessing since I couldn't afford an iPod at the time.
Cool! We're gonna need that audio driver joke though
