Sometimes the playlist in the grocery store is what I listen to. When did they start playing Rush or Jimmy Buffet?

I have one of the mood player and its from Woolworths one of the supper makets in Australia

Is this watch jr go? Or am I trippin

I was a service tech in Chicago for Muzak (and later Mood) from 1989. Now semi-retired but still servicing Mood equipment independently. That CM-1 is a unique little animal, typically used networked, and always a real challenge to get connected initially. The disc drive in a CM-1 is only used to load files onto the hard disk, when the device is not connected to a Muzak / Mood server. Those devices are capable of providing 4 individual music programs. That is the first generation player you have there. Version 2 has a larger LCD, a couple more buttons and a much simpler 12vdc 3a. power supply. The Muzak XD player looks basically identical, but is a stand alone DVD music player and was far more commonly used. Great little devices but the DVD drives did not last all that long running 24hrs a day reading discs. Yes the discs are proprietary and time limited for licensing purposes, they did not want the clients building a massive library of past discs. You could reset the date with a special disc then play expired media again. Not something that was spread around however. CM-1 players on the other hand were only used at national chain accounts. Example: for a time most all Marriott hotels used them with 4 different music programs, user selectable with an external switch. Famous Footwear all used CM-1’s with one music program. Tech note, the fans all crapped-out in the CM-1’s, however the players ran just fine without a fan. I’d disconnect the fans when they got noisy and drive the client crazy! 😂 BTW Taco Bell used to use an on-premise cartridge tape player for years, before DBS was available. At one time every Taco Bell in the US had Muzak music. When I started with the company, the first Muzak DBS system was just being introduced. Very antiquated by today’s standards for satellite. At this point in time Mood is converting as many clients at possible to the Harmony players. Those a very low cost little network devices 4” square 3/4” high with a 3.5mm audio output, a RJ-45 and a IR remote control. The original Muzak DBS has been shut down a few years back, but they still maintain the second DBS platform. Where ever possible national chains are being converted in blocks to network Harmony players. DBS will still be available for the near future, but eventually will be discontinued due to the high costs involved. Every Home Depot and Lowe’s still use Mood DBS, as well as many small chains, but every year it’s less and less. One day only network players will be used by Mood.

We have a much bigger box than that at my pharmacy chain that I work at, and we figured out how to hook up a phone or player to it… only do it on night shift, I figured it out at a gas station. I worked at years ago that had the same system… We played that stuff whenever😅

Does this have a notice on the button that is property of Musak?

Snake on the cd player REMOTE is next level 😂

I still have mine and love the typing experience on the device I also got the mouse that matched it and is all part of my wfh setup

NC in that context is "not connected", that pin does nothing and isn't used.

Bought several of these (used) of the span of about 8 years. Had the desktop cradle with the handset, the clip-on organizer, and the cable to connect it to my Handspring Visor Prism (surfing the web on a palm pilot circa 2005).

👍👍👍👍👍

I'm looking at ours right now. Continuous operation from the Tech Dark Ages to date.

Arguably, DRM was and is the worst thing that was ever invented thanks alot Ryuichi Moriya! Asshat

U look like watchjrgo

It really isnt a bad idea. Printers are mostly just taking up space on your desk or floor, make it useful. If it sounds good.

I also worked at Taco Bell in the late 80's, and we had a BMS that took these large disks that looked like a laser disk. the supervisor told me that you couldn't touch the disks with your bare hands, or it would ruin the disk. I assume it was an CED player for music only, or an early commercial CD system, but not the compact variety for general public use. I don't know if the CED players had disks that were just music, I had one for movies, and the disks were in a magazine. you would slip the entire movie disk into the machine and it would extract the disk, and spit the empty magazine back out.

Wow this is cool

lidz just wanted employees to bring in cd's of "clean rap" .. at least back when I had a part time job there.

I had one of those 😅

Cool video. thanks for making it. I had couple of these InfoGlobes. if left running continuously, they dont last. Various quality issues with the mechanical design.

You need new hard drive

I miss radio shack on Golf and Roselle! 🎱 and da Circuit City a mile down da road at Meachum Road! 🖤🎱

I just called all those numbers. JK

It's odd that it says, "Initializing Hard Drive" like it's going to format the hard drive and erase everything. The typo saying, "Initializing Hard Drive" should say, "Getting Hard Drive Ready" or "Booting Up Hard Drive" instead from whoever made the Muzak computer. .

Video start at 6:33 .

You know what's gonna happen to these company's who are American, and build everything in china, mexico, and every other country where they make their product, and then sell it back over here?? 200% tariff, might be cheaper for them to bring their product back to the US to build it. I wonder if john deere is changing their mind about moving a bunch of their production to mexico. G-d bless

So my IT department was cleaning out some shelf space and they were going to put one of these (new and never used) into the electronic recycle bin. I grabbed it to use super quick. Had no clue it was this old. I thought it was maybe 4 yrs old at most. Looks awesome. Yet to see how well the touchpad works

I have one from *21 years* ago, Sharper Image branded, "InfoGlobe" and it *Still works!* It has one helluva motor + LEDs as it ran nonstop (minus any power outages, which rare in my part of the world) for *16 years!* But since I moved 4 years ago it's been in storage as a keepsake since I no longer have a need for a landline. I may have it buried with me actually, for ID'ing who's visiting my grave. 😉

Yes I remember this! I just found a Brand new Magic 8 ball in the garbage and its Brand New from 1996

I had the wand that had leds on it and was a clock, holiday greetings and personal messages

My mums old Photosmart 5520 Still works But The Colors get messed up after a week and needs 5 deep clean cycles to work I did have to fix it as the cleaning tubes dislodged from the cleaning pump It's still sitting around in my room unused

Hi, did you test ir with VOIP lines? thanks

4/10/10 8 days before i turned 26 !

This is my first time seeing this and I'm 40

We had the Olympia InfoGlode cordless phone combo unit, OL3020, used it up until maybe 8 - 10 years ago or so, mainly for just the caller ID portion. If I remember right it may have started to stop working properly, but it ran for years. We got it off ebay Feb 9th / 10th 2007, I just checked an old email address and it showed the bid date / time the auction was won, yes still have that information in an email surprisingly. Paid about $25+ shipping costs. Forgot about this to be honest, but it was pretty cool.

I got my GPS for free because the original owner left it in the Kia I'm still screwing around with it seeing what I can do

Will have to get one and connect to my landline phone here in Aussie land.

you're so hot!

Who?? Mike Jones!!

Oh hell yeah. I remember walking into the Radio Shack at the local mall to get some XMODS parts and seeing this.

I had one just like that in my office at work going 24/7 for years. I never used the caller I.D. feature. I just used it for a clock and calendar. It eventually died.

Interesting it is surprisingly clear on camera. If you do want to use it legitimately without a legitimate phone line there's a product called the XLink they have various models and it connects over Bluetooth to a cell phone and gives you a landline connection. But it also sends caller ID data! If I remember correct you can even send it to send the caller ID before the ring? Either way you pair that with your cell phone you connect that to the thing when your cell phone gets calls you'll see the color ID on it. I never really got caller ID it was one of those expensive optional add-ons but I remember it being all the rage. Some devices like satellite receivers even had a decoder that would flash up a message on your screen yet of course we didn't have caller ID so I never got to experience that only got to see it in various spots.

I have an HP Amp that has a speaker and I LOVE IT!!! If it ever goes and I need a new printer, I’ll be devastated that I won’t be able to get one with a speaker. Lol First world problems. I guess at that point, I’ll just get a separate Bluetooth speaker. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I just hooked mine back up a couple of months ago..Don't have a land line anymore..Just use it as a cool clock/calendar.

I had a device that would voice announce the caller - if it was a name then it would say it if it wasn't listed it would just give the number or say caller ID blocked. You could add numbers to a list and "block" them although the phone would usually ring once then stop. I had that through the late 90's. When our DirecTV box supported on-screen caller ID we stopped using it - I kept it for a few years then sold it or gave it away.

Might be worth the investment in getting a Link2Cell device so you can see if some of these land line devices work and do some demos... I have a cordless phone that has blue tooth to a cell phone but it only works for handsets off of the base it's linked to (i.e. not back out the RJ11) -

I thought Sony and Panasonic had the slimmest players around 2004-2005

9:45 - Wow, a call that took place on my ninth birthday. Interesting stuff!
