I was a tape boy, I couldn't believe how great CD music sounded in comparison. When I saw CD players in cars it blew my mind, the future had arrived.

- bombcar 4y agoCD-players in cars always blew my mind, especially since I got my first one around the time I got my first CD-ROM drive; the computer CD-ROM would throw an absolute shit fit if the case was brushed by a slight breeze, the car player wouldn't skip even over massive potholes.
- hey2022 4y agoMy dad had a large vinyl collection. I collected tapes, then CDs, then mp3/lossless. Out of all these media types CDs were my least favorite. They didn’t offer much convenience over tapes, didn’t look as nice as records, were far less portable and shareable than mp3. Also I really disliked how fragile those plastic cases were. I miss tapes the most. They were so physical (being able to rewind using a pencil)! Also the ease of recording music from the radio, CDs never really matched that.
