Yeah, for music I was still using cassettes until the very tail end of the 90s. Music CDs (including burned MP3 CDs) from maybe '98 to '05. I wasn't part of the Apple ecosystem at the time and wasn't made of money so didn't have an iPod, which also seemed like a weird thing to spend money on in a world without AUX inputs in cars, but with CD players in cars. Using a digital music player in the car meant breaking out those tape adapter things, for most people. Or short-range FM transmitter. If I wasn't in the car, I was close enough to a computer to use that, or I was outside (the idea of listening to music while doing outdoor stuff was totally unappealing to me), so I'm not even sure what I'd have done with an iPod. Shit, if I didn't need a smartphone for all kinds of other reasons I'd probably still just be using CDs, now that I think about it. Especially now that burners are dirt-cheap and draw power over USB.
