My problem in the 90s

You wanna hear 90s? I broke a lot of portable CD players from tripping on my Jncos while rollerblading. And this is not a joke.

I went through of few of those but I also had a tape player prior to that. Could always tell when the batteries were getting low cause the music start getting deeper and deeper. Finally solved all the problems when I got a mini disc player instead. You had to be able to burn your own music but it played mp3s and you could put 2-3 albums on a mini disc.
