Where the hell you buying CDs for $10 in 1999?

[–] enthusiasticamoeba@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The standard price where I grew up was $13. Feels like a steal these days.

I don't think any CD I ever wanted enough to buy was less than $16. My family was poor so cassette tapes were still a thing for quite a while.

By the time I could start thinking about affording CDs, I'd already seen the movie Hackers (1994) and was convinced everything would be digital really fucking fast.

I started converting my CDs in the Napster era.

Yeah, I only had a handful of CDs because they were too expensive! I jumped on the napster train and got a CD burner as soon as I could.
