So, Philips did make an eight hour CD player! Yep in 1989 Philips launched this background music system that offered 8 hours on a single CD, of course there's something a bit unusual going on. It's of course a CD-i player, well kinda, not entirely stictly but that's what I'm here for.

There will be a part 2 to this as things didn't go quite to plan, I can't wait to see you again.

Thanks for watching! Andy

PS. My apologies to Michael McDonald!
