a portable CD player is $10. the AC plug to connect it to the wall is $15. WTF!

same price as always.

ya, but they used to come with AC adapters. now they dont.

what fancy place are you shopping at?

I guess they figure if its portable, you dont need ac power.

I dealt with this, with a cd player I got one of my kids....luckily I have drawers full of ac adapters.

try radio shack, you can get adapters for alot cheaper

aww...I was just playing along to your thread. haha...you paid $15. schmuck.

I thought I could use one of the ones from my sony, but it's only 400ma. I need 600.

the new players are pink!

you can still buy cd players?

Nobody buys CD players anymore.

I predict they will die, just like VHS, within a few years.

vhs isn't dead yet. neither are audio cassettes. Dying maybe...but not dead. Hell some people think vinyl isnt dead either. The only thing that's dead for sure is the 8-track and betamax.

and laserdisc

you want a cd player with the AC cord?...What next, I suppose you want a pc fully loaded ,software and all huh?

Yeah, nothing's really dead except for what dertoxia mentioned. Vinyl lives on in the hearts of music listeners for it's great warm bass tone and it's overall lovable feeling, and everyone over the age of 15 has cassettes and vhs lying around that they still wanna use occasionally. It's also really hard for this stuff to die when people sell them at flea markets for so cheap that you might as well sacrifice new technology for price. The CD won't die in a few years. As much as the record industry has suffered in these last years because of online pirating and CD burning among friends, there is still a huge market for the "hard-copy", the actual tangible pressing of music that you can physically hold in your hand and put in your music player. Until a new technology rises to replace the CD, the CD will live on.

CD player? What's that mean?

...I'm kidding.

8 tracks are still used.
