Early portable CD players chewed AA batteries and skipped like mad, plus very few people had burners so you were stuck listening to pressed CDs instead of mixtapes. The MiniDisc with a rechargeable lithium battery and dub whatever you like onto a cheap digital medium was amazing. And you could even (very painfully) enter the title and artist on your tracks and see them on the dot-matrix screen! Let's see your CD do that!

When I was young I was so dumb I couldn't actually hear hiss or other artefacts. I used to go to school and leave the longest tape I had recording the radio. When I came home I would scrub through the recording and find songs I wanted or liked, then dumb those recordings onto a "master" to keep. It must have sounded goddamn terrible.

Caesar Saladin posted:How do you go to the next track on cassette? Can you press a "next" button or you do you have to fastforward? Because that sounds like it would be really annoying. If you're really dedicated you write the tape counter number next to each track on the J card.

Tarkus posted:When I was a kid, in order to save money on mix tapes, I would dub records and radio to to the left and right channels separately and listen to them on my stereo with the right or left channel mixer knob. That's hilarious! Our family had a component system and then one of those "fake component" systems that had a CD player; I had a portable cassette player and didn't get a boombox until much later, so I never would have thought of that.
