Not just that, you’d hold the button so your portable CD player wouldn’t recognize the door was open while playing, and you’d write on the disc as it was playing and get perfect circles on a variety of colors. That was how you have people sweet mixes.

I understand that of course, what I don’t get is that it’s still there even though it hasn’t changed one bit since. Maybe I’m overthinking it

Yea cos you couldn’t use a normal pen or it’d scratch the disc.
