Seriously? No CDs for mentor appointments?

Am I reading this wrong? On the info page for mentor appointments, it says "Bring your music on your phone, laptop, or iPad this year. Mentors will have their own headphones."
The 'Song/Career/Production Bar Session' info page says the same thing :/

I thought I heard that as well!
Hopefully Admin will keep a couple of the Boomboxes from the past rallies nearby...
I'll bet you at least a quarter of the people coming will miss that and still bring CD's

Oh the times, they are a'changin'...
Yeah - that bit o'fear jumped out at me, too.
Us Flintstonians do not have iDevices of any kind...
and flip fones just do don't that.
Long live the boom box!

I did read this and it was mentioned by Michael, I believe on TAXI TV. Since it sometimes is a pain for me to cue to the tune I want to share on my phone or iPod, I am considering bringing a portable CD/MP3 player.
Like the Insignia Best Buy offers for $14.99

Ah - thanks for the reminder - I think I have a little battery-operated portable that might do the trick.
Silly me.

Huh? Where is a link to this "No CDs" thing? I do remember in the RR Taxi TV episode Michael saying that the mentors don't like USB sticks and I had assumed that meant that I should take a bunch of CDs.
To clarify, this is only talking about "Mentor Appointments" and we will still need CDs for handing out at booths, mentor lunches etc. right???

Just read the One-To-One mentoring sessions pdf and it says "Bring your music on CD or mobile device.". Crisis averted!
