Musicbox!!

Yesterday I had the displeasure of listening to a CD in my car.

I bought the album Light a Match, For I Deserve To Burn by The Beautiful Mistake (which is quite good) at Best Buy, and wanted to listen to it on the way home.  It’s been a long time since I have listened to a CD in my car, since I have almost all my CDs copied onto my musicbox computer and I listen to them from there instead.

So I put the CD in, and listened to it, and it was good... until I hit a few bumps.  To be fair, they were pretty serious bumps, but certainly not uncommon in Pittsburgh.  In the space of about 15 minutes, the CD player skipped 4 times on bumps like that.

Upon hearing that irritating sound, I realized that it had indeed been a very long time since I’d last encountered it.  In fact I’ve had my musicbox in my car for 2 years and 2 months now!  And to think that at first, I wondered if it would be too rough of an environment to put a computer (more specifically, its hard drive) into a car.  In all that time, there hasn’t been a single skip to speak of.

Happy belated second birthday, musicbox, and thanks for being so super!
