Mp3 players were banned in my elementary school 20 years ago lol. You couldn't take it out in class. But the bus rule is pretty crazy

I remember how jazzed we were about the no-skip on the CD walkman....could shake it for eight or nine seconds and it would keep on playing your Nine Inch Nails

The lower your burn speed, the higher quality the burn , so there’s less skipping. Which was fine if you had 4 hours to burn a single cd
