Muji Wall-Mounted CD Player: Justify My Love

I actually no longer have a dedicated CD player anymore; if a CD does, in fact, need to be played, it can be thrown into the DVD player or the optical drive of one of our many home computers. However, now I'm kind of lamenting the fact that I don't need a CD player, because I can in no way justify this Muji Wall-Mounted CD Player ($178). Muji, for the uninitiated, creates spare, clean products, Read more

The Pandora Alcantara Player Makes CDs Look Hot Again

First of all, keep in mind that this CD player is only a concept design project and secondly, try to disregard the "Playboy Bunny" logo on the CD (not apart of the player). Antoine Lebrun and Volkan Akbiyi have created the Pandora Alcantara, a wall-mounted CD player that includes tilt-sensing technologies. The name Alcantara comes from the luxurious suede material that covers the media Read more

Retro USB CD Player: Love It or Leave It?

Looks may be deceiving but don't be fooled by the sixties-style appearance of this music player. The Roxy CD Player may look retro, but it comes fully-loaded with many modern day features and functionalities. When I spotted this player on 7Gadgets I had no idea that it had a 3-speed turntable under the lid, a USB connection and that you can use mp3 players and flash memory drives with it as well!

iSymphony i-Pod/ MP3 Compatible Boombox

When I first saw that this iSymphony Boombox was iPod compatible, I assumed that you could dock your iPod directly on it. Unlike standard docks, the top lid of this boombox opens so you can lay your iPod and a CD in the top of it— kinda like the music version of a DVD/VCR combo. Featured on 7Gadgets, the player is said to hold almost any MP3 device and comes with an AM/FM stereo. It definitely Read more

Luxurious Gold CD/MP3 Player By Memorex

With gold being one of this year's trendy colors, I can't help but be attracted to gold gadgets and gold laptop cases. So when I saw this CD Combo Player on 7 Gadgets, I needed to learn more— even though I'm somewhat over the whole boombox thing. This media player boasts the same white and gold accents of the stylish Dwayne Wade Sidekick and can play CD-R/RW cd's, has twenty preset stations and Read more

Gadgets Getting The Rugged Hummer Treatment

In the last forty-eight hours, I've had the pleasure (if that's what you want to call it) of coming across two gadgets that have been been inspired by the gas-guzzling, oversized Hummer truck. First I spotted the Hummer-shaped clock radio with CD player on 7 Gadgets. This player comes with a CD tray in the roof, an AM/FM tuner and matching yellow remote control. It's headlights even light up when Read more

Love It or Leave It? Hello Kitty Stereo System

I know there's a good mix of you who like pink gadgets and adore Hello Kitty accessories, so I figure this one will have, at the very least a cult following. What's great about this Hello Kitty stereo system, is the fact that it doesn't scream 'Hello Kitty' and it is a subtle shade of pink.. which I can totally handle. For the Hello Kitty fanatics, don't worry, you'll find the signature Hello Read more

Back To The Future CD-ROM Sneakers

White high tops with built in speakers and a CD-ROM, could it be true? These old school sexy sporty sneakers featured on Ubergizmo are concept shoes which feature an integrated CD-ROM, speakers, volume control knob and yes, velcro tops! They remind me of something Will Smith would wear on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Can you imagine how excited he would have been to have a portable boombox right Read more

How to Make Cooking at Home Fun

When I used to fantasize about my dream home, I would picture a massive sunken living room where everyone would congregate and socialize. But now that I'm getting wiser older, my visions have shifted from having my living room be the focal point of the house, to making my kitchen the "it zone" where everyone wants to gather. The thing is, I'm a decent cook and I enjoy whipping up new dishes. But Read more

Kids Songs on Debbie and Friends More Story Songs & Sing Alongs

As a children's entertainer, Debbie Cavalier promises her original songs are more like sing-along stories. So, when I found her CD Debbie and Friends More Story Songs & Sing Alongs ($10), I thought this might be the perfect thing to pop into the CD player on our family car trips. I was right — this album is a total crowd pleaser. Songs like "Willy Won't" and "Home Run Ronnie" are kids' Read more
