I wish they still made the disc drives like they used to. I am currently trying to find a drive that has a headphone jack, play button, and can also burn DVDs rather than just read them. But that seems to be really really rare.
Anyway, these IDE drives used to have a full CD player in them. Unfortunately, on the more modern ones, there's just the MPC2 connector at the back. Now, that could still be worked with, but playback control would still rely on a computer.
Many earlier CD drives also included a convenient play button.
How's that useful? Welp, I want to put it into a 5.25" drive enclosure that I got. This way I could also (easily) use it as a standalone CD player.
I mean, imagine having something like those Creative Infra CD drives as an external drive ๐
I was a bit onto this whole retro CD thing after plowing through my old CD collection, but it died out when I remembered a CD only holds like 50-60 minutes of music ๐ it really is not much, and yeah mp3 etc but then why not a 10โฌ thumbdrive (I made a rpi that played any thumbdrive you stuck in it) and so on...
Good memories though ๐
...the redbook limit is 74 minutes, although specially-pressed discs can squeeze upwards of eighty minutes or even longer with playback limitations on some equipment...
Didn't they hit a whopping GigaByte at the end of the CD era even?
