By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A South Korean company called das_POD has released the CD-ROM PLAYER 01, a DIY kit that allows users to repurpose old IDE optical drives into standalone audio players. The kit, which costs between $190 and $220 depending on the color, features a design reminiscent of Teenage Engineering products and emphasizes ownership and repairability. Users must provide their own IDE optical drive, which can be sourced from old computers or second-hand markets, though das_POD also offers some drives for sale. AI
