I made something similar 10 years ago.
With a discman, I recorded audio tracks from old spec games, and loaded the games through it. I guess I made the first CD-ROM drive for ZX-spectrum :D

I am suspicious.. Found this wondering if there were mp3 files i could run out of my pc into a speccy. But seriously, how does using new technology speed up the loading time of a spectrum prey tell?

@arhpa Imagine the schizoid technology that would've arisen had the ZX Spectrum remained in mass use up till this day.

@arhpa Codemasters released a Spectrum games compilation on CD back in the day...

awesome!!!!

I have been thinking about this for some time but i have no speccy to muck about with... i like the tv though, my god i sound old :(
But first have to find a decent 128k spec that people don't want a kings ransom for!
I just wouldn't mind playing target renegade again, or spy vs spy arctic antics or saboteur ah i could go on.... no really. Anyone know what happened to the compact flash card interface?

@1861robertelee i assume it would but i had no need in the end because i discovered OTLA, it compresses the game loading into seconds rather than mins, just plug the laptop directly in the spectrum
-
@greyhoundgill well, did it work?
-
@maiki60fps Sorry for the late reply but i got a mini amplifier that came with some portable speakers, ill let you know once i get my spectrum on tuesday if it works.....

Hey, you are not the only one. I did the same thing myself; Had a Sony Discman D145 back then :p
Now I am using some cheepoo no name portable CD player as external "CD-ROM" for my Spectrums; Yea, I have a rubber keyboard 48k and several clones.

Where can I download old SPECTRUM vintage games on MP3?
did you have to amplify the sound from the mp3 player? which type of spectrum are you using? on my 48k I was unable to load anything from the pocket mp3 player since the volume level was too low...

The loading of video was on a Spectrum+ with a cheap mp3-player and with no amplifier. But you are right,some mp3player has very low level. Solutions can be using amplifiers or edit wav file for increasing its volume level
