And rip straight to the device…might as well add that feature…it’s all make believe anyhow.

What happens when you knock it closed while it’s playing a cd? Does it shoot the disc out Nice renderings anyways.

Great concept!! Great design!!

Cool~!!!! I’ve been thinking similiar one , but your idea is much better~!!!

Holy crap, I want one. It’s ridiculous, sure. And while it’s certainly portable in theory, as ocdude points out, it can never be ‘ported and used at the same time. But, whatever.

It’s beautiful and different and awesome and I want one. =)

Better idea: Give is a couple gigs of memory, then make it so you could rip CDs with this thing.

Get this, buy the CD, rip it in the car seconds later, put the CD away for safe keeping in the case, and listen to the mp3s, all on the same device. Sync with computer when you get home. THAT WOULD BE COOL. I would buy more CDS.

This simply looks awesome.
I do not know many people that still own CD’s, except for the car rides, which you could use any FM transmitter with an MP3 player.

Back in the late 80s there was a similar portable cd player. It was made to play mini cd singles (remember that format? me neither), but it would play regular ones as well, sticking out the side. Anyhow this device would be cool just to be able to burn a disc away from home, even if you had to leave it on a table to do it.

I just want a release button on this thing that will shoot the spinning CD at enemies. Then it would not only look cool, but it really would be a practical device. That is, if you have enemies you would like to shoot spinning CD’s at.

The reason this is a great idea is that you could rip a cd directly to the device eliminating all the pain in the ass of searching for the usb cable, that the cat has chewed on, and your girlfriend has hidden some where that makes absolutely no sense to you, and then hook it up to your computer. Instant gratification.

We all know this is impractical, but it’s one of the coolest concept designs I’ve seen in a long time. And if it does rip CDs, could you imagine keeping this in your pocket as your MP3 player, then stopping by a friend’s house, popping the CD in it, and ripping some tracks? Add WiFi so it can get CDDB information on the fly, and this would be too awesome.

Definitely, though, if it’s used JUST to rip CDs and NOT as a CD player, the impracticality of it becomes virtually nil. It’s not good to leave a CD playing unprotected like that for the reasons mentioned above, but to do a quick rip with a device that fits in your pocket? Perfect.

I have the perfect tagline for you:

“A great way to scratch the hell out of your cd’s.” (while it’s spinning, the cd is completely exposed)

or how about this one:

“Be very careful, this is extremely fragile.”

So the LCD portion never physically touches its back counter part so a CD can slip in? Seems stressfull for the front two arm joints to take the weight of the play.

mate… that is a bloody good idea…
if i had the money i would buy one…

now all you have to do is make it in the form of DVD, HD DVD and/or Blueray.
portable CD Rom drive…
that would be kick ass

Cool and interesting new design; only question: how to carry the player around by playing a CD?

The rotational speed of a CD is quite fast and would pose a danger to the operator as it spins in the unenclosed environment. The idea is excellent and I’m sure that the exposed edge can be solved.

If the device could write CDs - I think it would appeal to another segment - those that bring music to share with others. Device to device transfer is unrealistic in the current DRM and proprietary interface world. However - burn a CD to give a friend and now you have a universally transferable medium.

Ah my future Ninja-Star thrower

Where can I get this and cost? In USA..

Amazing!!!
I like “ripping” and “cd quick release” ideas

straight rip off from ghost in the shell…

This is exactly the same thing as I did for a university project like 4 years ago. Nothing new to me.

I want this mp3 player providing that it has a function that can convert CDs into MP3s

It is the touch of Lucifer himself! We, vampires use it all the time in Hell and up here… Loads of fun!

Dracula

I want one!

if you really would get this produced, and would try to leep the price within 200€, i would buy one right now…
the design kicks ass and the idea is great. now - if you spin the web abit farther: blueray and dvd reading support would rock also….

ripping DVD movies in seconds into your pocket…. man, thats what i want!

This design is still just an image right? So i guess we can say that it can do what ever current CD players does. Write, read, copy, rip, and even connected to AV outputs… i mean why not.

But it think we should focus on the design aspect first. One thing to note, this is indeed a dangerous player to use for both young and old. All of us like to enjoy our music at a relax position, i really don’t think any of us would want to hold the player in our hands and stare at the fast rotating killer blades as the CD/DVD/HD-DVD is spinning away in front of our body or arms. Neither do i think it will be safe to place it on the desk, hey it may just take off.

Also just for the record, the design for such a player has been featured in the Japanese Anime/manga “Ghost in the shell” back in 1995.

P.S: i really love the CG work and design of the player, but i have long thought it as a non-practical design due to the danger such a player post.

Where can I buy it ?

Hmmm… Looks great. But.. Not practical. If there will be a protection or cover for CD that will be OK.

But maybe.. There can be added 1 more intresting option. A CD ripper.
CD ripper + Mp3 + Kind of Discman. And now we don’t need Pc to load music to our Mp3.

Of course.. That is only my suggestion :]

do you have any solid item?
I am interested to buy !!!

do you actually sell this? i really want one…it’s awesome man! >

it looks certainly dangerous.

hey,
i´d like to know more about your mp3 player. maybe I can write an article about it in design report, a german design magazine.
please mail at: mail@design-report
bye daniela peukert

¿donde los regalan?

Hi! I would like to know more about this DMP. I wonder when could I buy one.

nice gadget where do i get one?

buen diseño muy chico y funcional solo falta la radio

i like! where would i be able 2 buy 1 from?

really a good Idea!! I’m very impressed for this small size and good looking cd/mp3 player. I would to know when it can be purchased!! Please add a “rip” button on your player…

how do i get one?

surprising idea~!! but how dose it protect the CD? I think using this player to play CD is really easy to spoil CDs. The CD is rotated uncovered

where can buy this player
i love it very much its cool

can I buy it? no? when?

Cool idea but i don’t think I’d use it… to many variables could happen to that cd spinning out in the open like that. I could end up breaking a CD. Plus I don’t want to be stuck in one place listening to music. Maybe if you stuck a small speaker on it.

THAT IS AWESOME, GET SOMEONE TO BUILD IT NOW!!!!!!!
