I would love to have one of those. Couldn't find any active listings, but old listings had them going for like $250+ which isn't too bad for a collector's item, I guess.
I did come across a TNG CD holder: https://www.ebay.com/itm/117030364928
Apparently you can only fit 4 compact discs in a Galaxy class ship lol
Now, if only they'd sold a device that could play isolinear chips. As I recall all of Jadzia's favourite Klingon operas fit on one of those...
I'm actually starting to get back into CDs. Found a bunch of my old CDs in a box while I was cleaning and have been listening to them a lot lately. Beats the absolute crap out of streaming, and I'm now realizing I miss the "curated" feel of listening to either a studio album or a mixed CD I made two decades ago that still plays somehow.
Even thought about buying a fresh pack of CD-R's and burning CDs again. My car is one of the last models to come with a CD player, so might as well use it :)
Mine has a cd of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons in my disc player and I don’t think I’ve ever used it, but I’m of the same mind to build some playlists in disc again instead of futzing with subscription services
