Who needs turntables when you have cardboard? GGRP Sound has come up with a brilliant way to play records: with the record sleeve. The needle-embedded carboard package folds up to hold a 45rpm in place, making sound while you spin it with a pencil. Instead of outputting to a speaker, the vibrations go through the needle and into the cardboard, and the sound quality is not bad, from what we've heard anyway.

Cardtalk is kind of old. It was used mainly by missionaries, for people who could not read.
That's awesome I want one! I imagine it would get tiring constantly turning the pencil though.
...and when you quickly tire of the gee-whiz effect, you can add it to the already overburdened waste stream.
That's one record you want to have on a desert island!
This is a great idea - its innovative CD packaging like this which will encourage consumers to buy the physical CD rather than download :)
What an amazing idea. Glad you shared it with us. Another way to make some noise. Thanks
That's interesting, how is the sound quality? and the most important question what should be the speed of spinning? If you spin too slow or too fast you won't hear the music.
