# Toy Block CD Changers This LEGO Jukebox Wil Make Use of Old CDs By Ian Andrew Panganiban | Published 2013-05-19 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-jukebox References: [toplessrobot](http://www.toplessrobot.com/2013/05/for_when_your_hands_dont_actually_work_a_lego_juke.php) & [sites.google](https://sites.google.com/site/ralphslegomindstormscreations/home/jukebox) The show Happy Days was the first time I was introduced to a jukebox; needless to say that was a long time ago, but I am again introduced to this construct in the form of a [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cdj-2000) jukebox. The DIY LEGO CD changer is an interesting project. It wasn’t too long ago when Compact Discs were the norm, but now they’re mostly found in trash bins or the dollar racks at pharmacy stores. Ralph, the creator of this piece, found some use for his [obsolete CDs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/k8-cd-player) when he created his LEGO CD changer. The CD changer is made primarily of LEGO pieces. The LEGO jukebox is placed on top of a computer’s PC. The CD changer possesses the same functionality of any jukebox, but with some added LEGO flair. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **LEGO CD Changer:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the potential of repurposing obsolete technology through creative LEGO designs. - **DIY Jukebox:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine traditional entertainment devices with DIY elements to create unique and customizable experiences. - **Obsolete CD Repurposing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Find innovative ways to give outdated technology new life in functional and aesthetic designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Entertainment Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate LEGO components to modernize and add a playful twist to traditional entertainment devices. - **Creative Toy Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with LEGO or similar toy brands to develop DIY kits for building unique jukeboxes and CD changers. - **Sustainable Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Promote sustainability by repurposing obsolete CDs and incorporating them into artistic and functional products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [DJ Console-Inspired Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cdj-2000.md) - [Intricate DJ LEGO Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pioneer-cdj-2000-nexus.md) - [Retro Cassette Brick Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-sony-walkman.md) - [Retro Puzzle Block Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-fan-build.md) - [Mint-Tonal Retro Radios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-5.md) - [Retro-Inspired Toy Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-atari-2600.md) - [Vintage Projector Puzzle Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-lantern.md) - [Interactive Bloclk Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dancing-hula-girl.md) - [Building Block Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ps-one.md)
