Ah, maybe it’s time for my minidisc player to finally have it’s day in the sun.

My ipod shuffle, what a useless thing that was

I can remember playing a cassette in the first car I had with a cassette player, a Donna Summer album in my Ford Capri back in 1977.
And no, I didn’t have a moustache or a medallion.

I was considering getting a turntable for the Cortina, but a Weber DCOE soundtrack does for me just fine.
I still have a sony walkman in my stash. . . and some monkey muff headphones.
Sad to see the iPod go, but it's no longer hitting a market need, to be fair.
Most people who want 'music on the go' are happy to now just have it on their phone.
And for the niche market of those that want quality 'music on the go' (because most phones are pretty basic audio quality tbh), there are now far better products. I did that myself – moving from my much-loved but aging iPod to an Astell & Kern SE200 a couple of years ago.

Can't find a photo of anything similar but we (my parents) had a mobile record player (45s) that you could use in the car and just slot the single in. It was about 12 inches square and a couple thick with a speaker. Fabulous it was, I clearly remember listening to Sherry by the Four Seasons on it. weird the things you remember from your youth!
Cutting edge at the time
I never tire of this
Whilst hitch-hiking through Germany on our way down to Italy back in 1966, we got a lift from a couple of guys who had a turntable in their car that played 45’s. We were well impressed.
still is, if it doesn't jump about!

A mate of mine from Lewes Tech had one of those on our trip down to Cornwall in 73'ish. It was portable and sat in the car door!? Terry Jacks still haunts me.
