Saucer CD Player With Dockable Cup, It Could Happen!
There are concepts that could, and probably will happen. And then there are those that just make us smile. The Drip with Song falls definitely into the latter category. Essentially a portable CD player and speakers squeezed into a saucer, the best part is that you can "dock" your cup and twist it to control the volume. (Though be careful not to spill.) I know I'm a macho guy and everything, but I'm not afraid to say it: How cute!! [Yanko Design]

Classic 1960s Brionvega Radio Gets Retro-Modern Update
If you're a fan of retro gadget styling, you've probably come across the work of Italian company Brionvega once or twice. One of Brionvega's most classic designs was the Radiogonografo RR126 from 1965, a versatile piece with folding speakers, a radio, an amplifier, a phonograph and a friendly little robot face. The RR126 is almost impossible to find nowadays and would cost you a fortune—but the company's coming out with an “updated” version called the RR226. More »

Metaphys Designs Shown Off at 100% Design Tokyo
These Metaphys designs were shown off last month at the 100% Design Tokyo Show, but they're cool enough that we wanted to show you anyway. The Japanese brand Metaphys, which is lead by designer Chiaki Murata, puts out cool stuff like the Lunacalente CD player shown above, as well as the flip-open toothbrush and the flip-open calculator shown after the jump. Although the latter two aren't going to make us drop our Sonicares and our TI-82s, the magazine rack and the fan do look futuristically sexy. It isn't often that mundane gadgets become objects of arousal. [Dezeen] More »

Unique Mini Piano With Hidden CD Player
CDs may be headed towards obsolecence, but that doesn't seem to stop manufacturers from coming up with unique new devices to play them. One of these devices, the Japanese made Cathay PK-24, may look like a miniature grand piano, but the only thing it can play is tunes from your CD or FM radio. The keys even act as the playback controls to add to the fun. Available in Asia for about $165 a pop —which is way too freakin' much if you ask me. [Product Page via Technabob via Geekalerts] -

Yamaha Aims High With CD-S2000 CD Player and A-S2000 Amplifier
Yamaha targets a notch or two above the level of midrange audio consumers with this A-S2000 amplifier and CD-S2000 CD player, set to hit the Japanese market in mid-December of this year. The company upgraded components inside, including the PCM-1792 DAC (digital-to-analog converter) from Texas Instruments inside that CD player ($1466), a DAC that's a favorite of many audiophiles for its low-distortion translation of CD bits into analog audio. Those with golden ears will also like the way the designers strived to keep noise levels low by separating power supplies and amplification inside the 190-watts-per-channel power amp ($1834), too. And just look at the clean, unfettered design. Beautiful. [Audio Junkies] -

Scientists Hack CD Player, Transform It into Lab Scanner
When researchers at the Universidad Polit cnica de Valencia needed a lab scanner, but didn't have the cash to pay for it, they didn't panic. Instead, Angel Maqueira and his colleagues bought a bog-standard CD player &mdash and hacked it, saving themselves a potential $70,000 in the process. More »

Audio-equipped Mini Fridge Is A Contender For Worst Technology Mashup Ever
Seriously, do I really need a CD player on top of a mini fridge? Is it that much harder to bring out a boombox or an iPod speaker dock? If I were living in 1998, I might be impressed by the mini plug line out, because I could hook up my shiny new minidisc player to it. But that's still pretty questionable. If I were going to kick down $263, it wouldn't be on this. Luckily, only the UK has to deal with this monstrosity. [Gadget Box via Crave]

Bang & Olufsen CD | DAB | SD
Another Bang & Olufsen audio system that is, per usual, extremely stylish and easy to look at. The Beo4 is a CD player, FM radio and has an SD slot. If you'd like DAB radio, you can get it factory fitted as an option. B&O says this is the first audio system of its kind to be able to record music from a radio or CD to the SD without a computer (though I think there's a MD player somewhere that can do it). You'll need to supply equally stylish speakers (might they suggest the BeoSound 3 speakers?) and it comes with a floor, table and wall stand. The coolest feature is the front glass door, which opens when you wave a hand in front of it to show the operation panel and CD loader. You can pick this baby up in December for a mere $2,750.
