Artifact Overview
Introduced in the 1980s, compact disc players provided digital quality music to listeners. Many drivers, who had fumbled through 8-track and cassette tape playlists, wanted to have this new technology available in their cars. At first available on high-end luxury vehicles, CD players now can be found in most cars. The Irish band, U2, released this CD in 1991.
