Aux out of pc into your home audio system did the trick. CDs were getting soooo cheap back then you could just burn mixes and cd players started to put in direct mp3 compatibility around then. I grew up a geek though, so this probably just came easier to me back then, but the high quality options haven't changed much in the last 20 years as far as audio is concerned. Just the proliferation of SoC devices has eased the playback access.
- dhosek 1y agoThe thing is that the PC and the stereo were often in different rooms. That was the case for me where my stereo system was in the living room and the computer was in the second bedroom of my apartment. Remember that home networking, wifi and “spare” computers were also not really a thing in 1999 or before either.

- dhosek 1y agoWhen I got my first high-speed internet and bought a 4x1 ethernet router/switch, I remember wondering what else I could network since I only had two computers to connect. I really wanted to somehow connect to the music gear in the main bedroom, but I never did.
