I never had a CD wallet and I never had an MP3 player and I don't have a subscription to some shitty streaming service for music either....Am I weird?

Radio was an option. If you followed no music, then yes you were odd
I remember when I was a toddler and my parents had one of those.

I feel so fucking old right now.
You probably are that kind of person that remembers learning to use windows.
Yeah, learning windows 3.1, a pirated version given to me by my grandpa, I used to sit there watching him make pirate copies of games using this slow AF floppy disk copying software.
My dad Also pirated stuff for me.
When I was a child, I was the one pirating stuff for my parents.
I would pirate music and movies, and then we'd listen to/watch them during our long vacation trips. We had a small cd/dvd reader with a very, very small built-in screen, and we'd watch the movies on that thing.
I also used to pirate all kinds of stuff for me and my brother. Videogames, animes, movies, you name it. Nowadays I've legally bought most of the stuff I pirated when I was a child (everything that can still be bought legally; I won't give money to greedy second hand sellers).
I thought technology was becoming common knowledge, yet I was surprised to see how many friends and people of my age still don't know how to open a .zip file or play a console game on an emulator.
We weren’t learning to use Windows, we were learning how to break Windows.
I had a big cassette organizer. Later CD wallets.
CDs were so much better than cassettes. But as soon as I could get an MP3 player in the mid 1990s I was over CDs forever. The first car MP3 player I had was a dock for a computer hard drive, it had a faceplate that displayed file info and a knob to select songs/folders.
Cassette organizer? I just put em in a stack or on a shelf lol
I had a double-sided suitcase type thing with slots for the cassette cases, it must have held 50 at least. That was on my car
And a wooden rack in the house that held dozens. I still have it and the cassettes in a closet somewhere.
I never lived through the era of car cassettes. I just have a deck at home
We got a first gen iPod when we leased a New Beatle convertible in.... whatever year that must have been. It still had an actual spinning hdd inside with, I want to say, 30gb of storage. I regret tossing it eventually. Those are collectors items now.
That sounded high so I looked it up. It was 5gb! Seemed like so much at the time. Of course I'm so old I remember my first computer had a 200mb hard drive and I wondered how anyone could fill up so much space then.
Honestly 5 gb is thousands of songs, especially if they're not FLAC / mp3 320.
It won't be your entire library if you're a music buff but it's days worth of music.
Well, I have not thrown them away so, they are still in those huge cases.
Oh god. I’m the grandpa now
It'll happen to you!
You just quoted a line from an episode that first aired last century.
Last millennium actually.
Someone saying "the 1900s" probably makes me feel older than anything.
