Wouldn't it be great if ....

Wouldn't it be great if CD players had mileometers like cars do, that recorded faithfully exactly how many minutes and hours of music they had played.

If you were buying a 2nd hand player you'd know exactly how many hours it had on the clock. Although you'd have to be wary of unscrupulous dealers 'clocking' machines.

You'd also have a record of just how much listening you'd done on your player - it could be worn like a badge of honour on the forum!

Oh well, just a thought

 

Not sure about CD players, but some DVD players do have that function (and separate counters for DVD and CD sometimes). Sony had that, but you could only see it from the service, not the regular menu

 

Try Googling around the 'net a bit--you can often find how to get into the service menus if you use the right combination of key presses on the remote.

 

Round these here parts we call those odometers

Here in Canada we put those in our shoes

We put laces in ours (unless you wear boots)
