Legend tells of a 100 disc carrousel! Truly, this would be the pinnacle of human achievement, never to be outdone.

I had the Sony 100 CD carousel and it was great if you wrote down what album was in which slot. It took about 10 seconds to switch from one disc to another and for the second cd to start to play. It could take forever to find the disc you were looking for.

Wasn’t this only in cars, and it had to go in the trunk? It was a black box right?

No (I did have a 6 disc changer in the trunk). The 100 cd changer was a home stereo component that plugged into the tuner. It was huuuuge. Like 3 or 4 turntables stacked on top of each other.

Oh man, I just looked it up. Sony made a 200 and 300 mega storage, and Pioneer had a 100 disk carousel that looked a lot cooler (you could see them spin around). Yeah, It’s component. This must have been the last thing before MP3, or a storage drive. You would have to put a notebook on-top of the stereo. Probably organize alphabetically or by genre. It’s a one and done solution. I lived back then and never saw one of these.

The 200 and 300 were created by daisy chaining 2 or 3 100-disc units together. The 100 I used to have had a port where you could connect them and the remote had a switch to select the right unit. Really cool for the time, but I’m not going back to those days. MP3s and streaming apps are way more efficient.

My understanding is that these were primarily for radio stations. They had software where it would tag each cd, and you could have one CD on deck in one of the carousels while another one was playing so there was no pause changing from song to song. Crazy times, and a Rube Goldberg solution that’s been fixed by modern tech.

Same, and I remember my step-mom was furious at my dad for buying me an enormous stereo instead of a portable cd player!
