The ’01 Disc: yellow parts and a black lever

What was a CD player like in 2001?

2001 saw portable CD players with buttons for ESP, the anti-skip memory, a hold switch to lock keys in your bag and a sound button for bass boost. Some read discs full of MP3s. Hard-drive and flash players were becoming serious rivals, but discs were still how most music was bought.

What do you see on the ’01 Disc?

The disc is a black record lookalike with fine grooves. In the middle sits a label: your track’s cover art, or a generated gradient with the track name. Around it are a board in yellow and black, a black lever at the left, a ribbon cable, and silkscreened words: POWER SW, ESP, HOLD, minus, plus and SOUND.

The disc and label turn together, and the carriage moves along the radius.

  • Generated or cover-art label
  • Black lever on the left
  • Silkscreen: POWER SW, ESP, HOLD, SOUND
  • Scratch with a finger

Which sound settings suit the ’01 Disc?

The SOUND silkscreen hints at bass boost, and the equalizer Bass preset does the same job. Keep hiss and wobble off. A sliver of saturation gives mixes a warmer shoulder. The groove background fits the black-vinyl-looking disc.

Is the 2001 CD Player free or PRO?

The ’01 Disc is a PRO machine with a colorful board. It belongs to REWIND PRO: weekly $2.99, yearly $19.99 with a 3-day free trial, or lifetime $24.99 once. Without PRO you still get 8 machines, plus analog sound and the equalizer on all of them.
