When #Homeschooling our children were allowed to think outside the box. Giving us the opportunity to teach things our children are interested in. Charlie has always loved Music. I like sharing new #Musicains with Charlie he hasn’t heard of and genre’s of music. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the products you purchase.
October 1st was CD Player Day #CdPlayerDay. If you would like to know more about CD Player Day check out this post. Even though Charlie has graduated I would like to take Charlie to a Record Shop or Pawn Store to see if we can find a CD Player and some CD Tapes for Charlie to listen to.
Visiting Record Stores, Museums and Libraries are a wonderful #HomeschoolFieldTrip. You could also visit a Museum that specializes in Music to see if they have any CD Players. Would you like to go with us? Remember learning is knowledge and even if our children have graduated that doesn’t mean learning should stop
About a CD Player
A CD player is an electronic device that plays audio compact discs, which are a digital optical disc data storage format. CD players were first sold to consumers in 1982. CDs typically contain recordings of audio material such as music or audiobooks. CD players may be part of home stereo systems, car audio systems, personal computers, or portable CD players such as CD boomboxes.
Most CD players produce an output signal via a headphone jack or RCA jacks. To use a CD player in a home stereo system, the user connects an RCA cable from the RCA jacks to a hi-fi (or other amplifier) and loudspeakers for listening to music. To listen to music using a CD player with a headphone output jack, the user plugs headphones or earphones into the headphone jack.
Modern units can play audio formats other than the original CD PCM audio coding, such as MP3, AAC and WMA. DJs playing dance music at clubs often use specialized players with an adjustable playback speed to alter the pitch and tempo of the music. Audio engineers using CD players to play music for an event through a sound reinforcement system use professional audio-grade CD players. CD playback functionality is also available on CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive equipped computers as well as on DVD players and most optical disc-based home video game consoles.
