Yes, (2 actually) though it's not hooked up right now. Interestingly, my daughter wanted one (and I got her one for Hanukkah). I just bought her a - pmb Apr 11, 13:23 13

        his music has come back around for hipsters -- nm - Remlik Apr 11, 13:59
  - it's a thing - not just some people being into buying older ones, but some current artists have releases on vinyl - usually at a hefty premium, but - b. Apr 11, 13:26 4
    - My local drug store, of all places, has a fairly significant collection of vinyl - Reagen Apr 11, 13:28 3
      - But then again, you live in Canada. You can buy, like, furniture and stuff there too, right? -- nm - Spawn Apr 11, 13:30 2
        
        at a drug store? Don't be silly. Now, at an automotive store... -- nm - Reagen Apr 11, 13:36 1

I think I have one buried in a closet somewhere. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 11, 13:21 1

no, but I have at least one discman-type player; still have a couple of cassette versions, too. -- nm - b. Apr 11, 13:17 1
- oh, duh, my stereo (16th birthday gift from 2 of my sisters) does have a record player. -- nm - b. Apr 11, 13:19
Yup. I have two Technics and the first one I ever got, a Fisher Price plastic one. -- (link) - Krusty Apr 11, 13:17 10
- I might have a discman buried in one of my bag 'o electronics but I probably tossed them. -- nm - Krusty Apr 11, 13:18 9
  - the only cd player i still have is my laptop. -- nm - Andie Apr 11, 13:19 8
    - (your DVD or blu-ray player almost certainly plays them) -- nm - Reagen Apr 11, 13:30 1
      - heh. my dvd player isn't even plugged in these days, but yeah, i guess it would. -- nm - Andie Apr 11, 13:31
    - Have you played a cd recently? I don't think I've played one in a few years. -- nm - Krusty Apr 11, 13:21 5
      - I buy tracks (and in mega sale cases, full re;eases) off Amazon now, but I still buy CDs of my favorite bands new releases. -- nm - Spawn Apr 11, 13:32
      - i only have CDs -- nm - charlie Apr 11, 13:30
      - I still play them in my car more than anywhere else - I have some favorites in rotation there. - b. Apr 11, 13:29
      - nope. the few i still physically have are in a storage box in the spare room. -- nm - Andie Apr 11, 13:25
      - Always have one in my car. -- nm - Spawn Apr 11, 13:22
two (Technics 1200s) -- nm - charlie Apr 11, 13:17 5
- Same. :-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 11, 13:17 4
  - i only learned this month that Panasonic stopped making them. sucks. - charlie Apr 11, 13:18 3
    - mine is jc penney branded, but I think it was made by panasonic. -- nm - b. Apr 11, 13:22
    - I didn't know that either. I've had mine since the early '90s and the only things that had to be replaced were the needles. -- nm - Krusty Apr 11, 13:20 1
      - ditto. mine are MKIIs but apparently they got up to MK IV (?) in their upgrades - charlie Apr 11, 13:26
No, but I want one. -- nm - spamlet Apr 11, 13:16
Yes, in the garage somewhere. Does it still work? dunno. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 11, 13:15

- I have a *minidisc* discman. Suck it. nm - Dignan Apr 11, 13:16
to your IM: I saw someone with a disc man a few week ago as well. - Mel Profit Apr 11, 13:15 1
- i bet you could get one for pennies and used cds are practically given away - maybe it's just frugal -- nm - Andie Apr 11, 13:16
Yup, just got one for Xmas. One of those turntable/radio/cassette/CD players designed to look like an old-time radio. -- nm - Dr.Vermin, OB Apr 11, 13:14
