Default CD Conversion kits

Being reliastic about it - you should forget wasting time setting up
multi CD players - and instead put the effort into a hard drive based
MP3 system. biggest problem with using CD's will be a few years down
the track where the CD player fails and you need to replace it - only
to find that the same model is incompatible with the setup you have in
the juke, and it will be a big pain to fix this in software in the
future.

an MP3 player inside there will easily hold 100 cd's worth of music on
a mere 10 gig hard drive - which is dirt cheap to buy. The songs can
be downloaded to the juke fast fast by the users's pc. I hate to say
it - but this is the way of the future, and the CD will inevitibly
become the past.

If you want to make the product even more appealing and more future
proof - then also allow it to have the option to play MPEG video
clips from the hard drive as well as audio. This sort of thing might
annoy the purists - but it will be something that will be saleable to
the general public - particularly in the future when 45s become
impossible to buy - and people want more modern music. i do agree
that this device should be made - if possible - to be connected
without damaging the existing system in there, so as converting back
to the 45 Record system is a trouble free - preferably "plug in"
operation.

a hard drive based MP3 system could be easily hidden in the machine
too - as it would be smal - and there wouldnt be a need to remove the
record mech to make space too.

Most modern consumer goods like CD players too are rubbish quality and
not made to last - and the models available change every year or more
- with totally new internals and chipsets - which only makes things
worse for the buyer as far as compatibility goes. Many too I have
heard will not play burnt cd's now either - or have troubles doing
some types.

(If you are selling this for home use - for people to replace the 100
odd records that are in the machine - they will need to burn their own
CD to match exactly the record titles that they have in there.)
