HDTV and Home Theater Podcast - Podcast #551: The CD Player Turns 30

[arad]

Inspired by an article of the same title written by Benj Edwards posted at TechHive.com, the HT Guys decided to do a little look back on the digital format that changed the music industry, and set the stage for other formats that would change the movie industry as well. We knew back when it came out that the CD was going to be huge, we probably couldn't have guessed just how huge.

My first CD player was a Pioneer that I payed over $300 for. My first CD which I still have was Waylon Jennings Greatest Hits. This was in 1985. The CD sounds as good now as it did then. I still remember when most stores dropped vinyl from stock in favor of CDs.
