- Gee. I recall that few years ago, when I was about to buy my first CD
- player, I decided to go for a CD changer (actually, I bought a 6+1 kind
- of changer). The reason for buying a changer instead of a regular CD
- player was that with a changer I could enjoy music for hours without
- any interuption. I could program 7 CD's, use random play etc.
-
- Unfortunately, I found out that I was punishing myself by programing the
- stupid machine. I had to think which songs I would listen to, with what order
- I would program them etc. I'm fed up with using the changer, and I tend
- to use most of the time (90%) the single drawer.
-
- We don't need to complicate our lifes by programing and storing to
- the memory of the stupid CD changers the music we listen! Single CD players
- are just fine!
