[Ariel] liked the look of the Muji wall mounted CD player. He set out to build his own, posting a how-to that documents his project. The custom paperboard case contains a portable CD player, two portable speakers with amplifier, and a pull-string switch to turn it on and off. With mp3 players sending portable CD players the way of the dodo, and with the proliferation of powered mini-speakers this is a thrift-store build waiting to happen.

Now all it needs is a few leds.
Does anyone else think that hackaday should have a comment rating system? like the thums up thumbs down of youtube?
o yeah, first comment twice in a row.
Very nice. and yes, there should be a rating. The second link is fubar.
Nice project, too bad I don’t really listen to CD’s anymore, those I buy I always rip and stash the box away.
Btw, the link seems to be down :(
What sacrilege is this? There is not a single arduino in this project!
Just kidding…this is actually a pretty neat idea.
It seems the design is acually based on MUJI’s wall mounted cd player (quite famous design in japan)

Arg, just read the first line of the post. ignore my previous post :P
I have an old MP3 discman sitting in a drawer, me thinks it will be dissected soon… I think some etched plexi and blue accent lights will be in order though, the plain design here based on the Japan one is a little too plain for me.
