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.

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.
