Anyone else uses their Dreamcast as a CD player?

I love playing my favorite anime OST albums and some Misfits and Joy Division. I use a Bluetooth speakers for sound I enjoy the sound the Dreamcast gives.
I know it's kinda ghetto but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Yeah, my favourite track is 'This is a Dreamcast disc, and is for use only on a Dreamcast unit.'

As the kids say, it's 'bussin fr fr no cap'

Yes, actually three of us used it at least once. The best way was Radkin who had the VGA adapter audio output go to her powered speakers so once the music started, she'd shut off the VGA monitor and rock out.

Even a mp3 player that has every thing on the vmu can use power speakers not even have the screen on as well.. Home brew the whole gui is on the vmu but controls on the controller pretty sweet back in the day

When I bought the Scott Pilgrim Vs The World game for Switch (Classic Edition physical release from Limited Run), it came with a copy of the soundtrack. Finally gave it a play on my Dreamcast. An oddly satisfying experience. I think I'll be using music CD's with it more.
