Rec'd on 📻 how did you listen to music when you were a kid

It had radio cd and tape options. I would use the radio to listen to baseball games and pretend I was living during the Great Depression (heyday of baseball). I would use the cd to listen to Tracy chapman in the dark while eating raisins. I would use the tape to listen to my Suzuki method prescribed cello homework

I had a Barbie car

With a built-in CD player and i would play whale sound and healing ambient music CDs in it while i took baths in the dark. I also had a normal CD player and I think a boom box type situation but the Barbie car was my preference

buying cassette tapes!!

now i love buying vinyl. i think the sound quality is better and it's fun to build out a physical collection of my favorite music. BUT, they are SO expensive that for a person not made of money like myself, i can only splurge on one every once and awhile. seriously, like 30 dollars for a vinyl i just cannot justify sometimes. BUY A CASSETTE PLAYER AND BUY CASSETTES!!! this has become my new favorite way to build out a music collection while still enjoying the physicality of a tape. also tapes are just so cheap compared to vinyl. go to your local record store and they should have boxes just overflowing with tapes going anywhere from 1 dollar to like 10 MAXIMUM. at this point i just buy random 1 dollar tapes in the hope that i am exposed to some new music i haven't heard before, and i am always pleased!! now is the sound quality a little worse? yes, but that is a trade-off i am willing to make at this point. also most portable cassette players have radio functions, and nothing is better than falling asleep to AM radio.
