I worked at a radio station in 2008, they had these old CD cartridge players, the CDs were in a case that had a sliding opening like a floppy disc to read the disc, the CD player accepted the whole CD case and slid the window open. Anybody know what these were called? Ive been trying to explain it to some people. Thanks

The very first versions did not have MP3 recognition on them. The software is atrocious and even more restrictive than apple, if you can even get it working. If you can, please let me know as I have some tracks on a few mini discs that I would like to copy other than playing them through audible.

I could not even tell you what software I was using. But it was Napster limewire days for what that's worth. I know my players were sony and I had a head deck for my truck that was a hacked drive for PC... Toshiba I think.

I remember no issues with UI but it was years ago so you may be right. Im not even sure what i.would use to look at those disks if i can access them.

I found the original software, and it only works on old versions of windows. I tried emulating that and even using an old PC to install windows XP. The computer recognized that a device was connected, but the software didn't.

What's the software? I have a laptop that I keep windows7 on, maybe I can give it a shot.
