Getting this Sony Mini stereo system!

Video CDs took off in Asia but didn't in UK. I understand it was because VHS tapes could "hold" 2 hours of recordings (a complete film) but CDs could not (2 CDs being required for 1 film). Of course that changed with the advent of DVDs.

Notwithstanding that, I am quite happy with my music system albeit quite large and old. I have the facility to connect USB sticks via a modern DVD player but still have a few hundred CDs (And the old CRT telly!).

Looks like a good base speaker...
 
I understand that they are now called "sub-woofers" by the latest generation.

The two small speakers should be positioned to the rear of the listener to provided "surround sound" but I leave them there for stereo playback. The cables are long enough for them to be temporarily re-positioned if wished.

It's a collection of virtually all the "official" recordings made by the particular artist/artists in the list (except for the compilations). The tracks are from my CD collection and in some cases supplemented by downloads from the internet. It is an ongoing task (which is why I had to upgrade from 16 Gb to 32 Gb yesterday). "Cream" was added this morning.

My CD collection consists of around 400 discs and the tracks from many have not yet been added to the stick.
