I wish my parent's record player still worked
they legit have 3 big-ass boxes of old vinyls.
you can get fairly cheap ones on ebay, look for ones originally intended for children, I believe the fisher-price ones are trustworthy. I mean they’re not going to be great, but they’ll let you hear your music. You could also try to talk your parents into investing in a record player that also converts to mp3 so they don’t lose all their music. Or have to rebuy it.
Also you definitely should have eaten that stupid cake.
