Modern, CD player?

longwalks1

The OH is old skool and has about 1000 CD's in the loft and wants a cd player for christmas (she's a 70's child haha).

Can you get portable, modern design CD players? Not the type with a carry handle, after something really modern looking, up to maybe £150 please?

Looks wise something like a portable bluetooth speaker, that plays CD?

Thanks in advance

Google the three words

CD Player Portable

and

CD Player Personal


Then before you settle on one add the word "reviews" to the list


EDIT: It throws up things like this around the £30 mark

The above should be spot on.

Seconded.

It's a Sony too!

^^ Actually, Amazon list £89.99 for the model in black. Though 'temporarily out of stock'.

The reason they claim to stock it at that price, is to compete with Currys, who actually do have at £89.99 here

Even Sony Direct and Argos sell it for £100, so don't think about paying more than that. One could conceivably include Currys three year replacement cover for the extra £25, to make it £115. But I wonder with what what they would replace it in the event of a mishap. Will they still have such a thing in stock?

Belay the last pipe.
There are 2 versions of that.... the X3 and X5 check them both out before deciding.

Bit of an alternative way, but does OH have a PC with CD drive? If so, get some speakers, or even a bluetooth speaker if it has bluetooth. Longer term project could then be to rip the collection of CDs into mp3 files. I did that with my (considerably smaller) collection of CDs. Now have around 2000 CD tracks taking up about 5GB on a USB stick, which I can plug into my sound system, as it has a USB slot on it.
