Man that one can play mp3 discs. That has to be newer than 2002. Burning CDs wasn't super common yet.

I had a aftermarket head unit that played mp3 cds in 2002.

I had a mp3 player in 1999.

We were definitely burning cds back then, this woulda come at a premium but the tech was there.

I remember downloading mp3s from usenet in 1999 on my Windows 95 computer. I'd start the download, go to work, then retrieve the file when I got home.

I felt so fancy buying a CD burner at Best Buy so I could burn them onto CDs. It was the first PC component I ever installed by myself.

BMWs in 2002 used Alpine head units. I knew their aftermarket units could play MP3 CDs so I thought “why not test it out?” Turns out it could play it just fine. It mapped the folder buttons to the seek/scan buttons if you held it and played them just fine. I was floored it did that but wasn’t anywhere in the manual.
