RE: Portable CD Players. That was a Horrible Time to be Alive!

I loved my tape walkman. I loved my cd walkman. I loved my ipod.

But more than that, I loved the things they exposed me to. I stole my dad's queen cassettes and listened to them until the batteries couldn't spin the reel anymore.

Then I discovered that walkmans could play mp3s, and I had cds full of eclectic rubbish.

Then I got an ipod , and another, and another, and another. Then I used that ipod to put custom firmware on my ps3, because it could.

These devices were all magic as a kid. But the magic wasn't the devices. It was the MUSIC all along.

And the bloody paper folio's that held cds. So many cds.

Yeah there were definitely a vibe I still like about. Sometimes the best things aren't a result of convenience.

Then again, I never once owned an iPod. Was always poor. By the time I had enough money for such a thing, iPods had long gone lol

I didn't own a walkman as they were too rich for my blood. iTunes was free; so I downloaded it and got some free music. I ended up buying a low end iPod as it was only about $10. It broke after a few uses.
