Wanna-be '80s MP3 'boombox' gets what it's got coming...

[Ghetteaux Les Fabulous]

The 8-bit guy and Techmoan team up to try out a modern retro 'boombox' with MP3 recording capability...

It doesn't end well...

One has to wonder who thought 'jangling keys' quality audio compression was good enough to leave the factory.

These guys, apparently...

I used to think that making a mix tape needed hardly a thought............................

I find it unnerving that there are people just reaching voting age who may have never had a cassette deck of any kind in their immediate household...

I saw one of these little "Toy Radio's" at Fry's electronics. They looked cool, but they are total chinese trash. and very small.

Even so, if they would have made the circuitry at least record the MP3's in the highest possible setting, 44k in stereo, basically just a direct reproduction of a cassette with all it's hissing glory it would be cool. And for $29, hell, I would buy one. But since it can't even do that....BRING ON THE STEAM ROLLER!
