I actually no longer have a dedicated CD player anymore; if a CD does, in fact, need to be played, it can be thrown into the DVD player or the optical drive of one of our many home computers. However, now I'm kind of lamenting the fact that I don't need a CD player, because I can in no way justify this
Muji Wall-Mounted CD Player ($178).
Muji, for the uninitiated, creates spare, clean products, as is evident with this CD player, which is finally available in the US.
First of all, keep in mind that this CD player is only a concept design project and secondly, try to disregard the "Playboy Bunny" logo on the CD (not apart of the player). Antoine Lebrun and Volkan Akbiyi have created the Pandora Alcantara, a wall-mounted CD player that includes tilt-sensing technologies. The name Alcantara comes from the luxurious suede material that covers the media player.
When I first saw that this
iSymphony Boombox was
iPod compatible, I assumed that you could dock your iPod directly on it. Unlike standard docks, the top lid of this boombox opens so you can lay your iPod and a CD in the top of it— kinda like the music version of a DVD/VCR combo. Featured on
7Gadgets, the player is said to hold almost any MP3 device and comes with an AM/FM stereo.
With gold being one of this year's trendy colors, I can't help but be attracted to gold gadgets and gold
laptop cases. So when I saw this
CD Combo Player on
7 Gadgets, I needed to learn more— even though I'm somewhat over the whole boombox thing. This
media player boasts the same white and gold accents of the stylish
Dwayne Wade Sidekick and can play CD-R/RW cd's, has twenty preset stations and features an AM/FM radio.
