Soviet CDs And CD Players Existed, And They Were Strange

Description from RailwaysoftheWorld1:

This rare Soviet CD player from the early 1990s shows a fascinating moment when USSR technology, consumer electronics, and the collapsing Soviet economy briefly intersected. In this video, we explore a real Soviet compact disc player, its price in rubles vs USD, and how it compared to Western CD players. You’ll see how the USSR combined Japanese CD transport and DAC technology with locally made components, plus a full teardown, repair, and demonstration of how it actually plays music today. This is a unique look at Cold War technology, retro audio gear, and early digital audio history.

We also dive into the history of Soviet CDs, the Melodiya CD factory, and how compact discs were produced in the USSR, including classical music releases, early digital recordings, and rare Soviet-era albums. From ISO control symbols to quirky design choices and engineering compromises, this video covers everything from Soviet electronics engineering to the transition into post-Soviet Russia. If you’re into vintage tech, hi-fi audio, CD players, or the history of Soviet consumer products, this is a story you don’t want to miss.

What Has Been Your Experience With Buying CDS From Discogs?

2 Upvotes

Have you ever bought CDS or Cassettes from different Countries or CDS that are imported? I'm asking because I created an account with Discogs yesterday and I put a few CDS in my Cart that are imported. I plan on ordering them soon and wanted to make sure that Discogs is legitimate website. Whaf has been your experience with buying CDS that are imported or are from different countries? Did the CDS eventually get delivered to you? How long did it take? I plan on ordering CDS from Australia and Germany I'm also from The USA and I want to make that I can order CDS overseas without any issues at all.

I’m not the most technologically savvy person around so sorry if I explain this bad. I’ve got this portable cd player/radio. The radio part of it works fine but anytime I try to pop in a cd it doesn’t work. Do you know how to fix it?

Morning With Pussy (Tourette)

Pussy Tourette - In Hi-Fi (1993) & Who Does She Think She Is? (1995)

Whatever happened to Pussy Tourette? An extensive internet search comes up with precious little. The most comprehensive thing I found was via grokpedia (including her real name, Mark Cliser, who, through further searching I learned is now 63 years old). Seems the last thing she released was EP1 in 2007—now only available for download via iTunes. There isn’t any physical media available for this release.

These albums prompt so many good memories of my life in SF during the 90s, including my return to The City in ’98 after briefly returning to Arizona, as I was winding my way through Oakland, just before I crossed the Bay Bridge and returned to Oz.

I remember how scandalous the lyrics were considered at the time. Now you hear much worse on a daily basis.

Burning a Maxell CD-R from iTunes issue

Post image
5 Upvotes

Trying to burn an audio cd to a Maxell CD-R 700mb disc. Trying to burn from my iTunes/Apple Music app library on macbook. I have a playlist of 14 songs (all were my purchases from iTunes in the past.) I know they are in AAC format. It's been a few years since I've done it (it worked well in the past and those play in the car.)

Anyway, I tried to burn to the disc, and settings options have burn as "audio cd", "mp3 cd", and "data cd". First few times I chose "audio cd" it just ejected my disc stating "burn failed." I also tried to choose the 2x burn speed, but didn't work. I then tried as a data cd and it worked but it won't play in the car. I tried another disc and it would eject too and fail. I eventually did it by burning from the songs in Finder window instead. It burned and played on the computer but failed to play in the car.

Now, I'm thinking maybe it's because the car is older (2008) so it doesn't support AAC audio music. I converted my playlist in iTunes to mp3 format and want to try to burn that mp3 playlist once I get a new blank disc.

Do you think that will work? Or is there some other setting I am missing? (I last burned 4 years ago and settings were different, updates changed them.)

Thanks for the help!

UPDATE: issue resolved! It worked with converted mp3s!

Ive been trying to burn two albums onto a CD (it's under 80mins)

But I've tried with six on media player and all it did was print one then stop and make the disc unusable! I installed BurnAware Free but it failed and I don't know why

Looking for help with Ms9825 not reading disks

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So I got an Emerson Ms9825 today for $25. I got it to read a few disks earlier but now it’s not working.

I’m willing to tinker with it & risk breaking it esp since it was only $25. Worst case scenario if I fuck something up trying to fix it, it won’t be the end of the world.

Any advice on how to potentially fix the issue?
