    My Civic played the same MP3-CDs I’d been using since high school.

    The most blissful surprise of it all was that AAs lasted much longer on the portable CD player, when it was decoding MP3s. Any why not? The drive speed was a fraction of 1x and the antiskip lasted a lot longer.

      Come to think of it I probably had compatible CDs ready-to-go when I bought that portable CD player, since I realized CD backups were so cheap I could just hand out data to all my friends. I became their hookup for Invader Zim and Stargate SG-1 episodes.
