'Portable' CD player puts MP3 into a spin

Antoine

Sure... Cut fingers

OMG, a CD running at 1x. When you touch a spinning CD it just slows down and starts to skip. The motor in there is probably consuming less than 2W. It's REALLY easy to stop a spinning CD, it's not a sharp blade with a 300W+ motor making it run at a few thousand RPMs.

Sony had a 33RPM player like that.
