Kids don't know the struggle, that was portable music before mp3 and streaming

Rather it was sitting by the radio every night waiting for hrs for that new song to come on so i could hit record to complete my perfect mix tape. Only to have to wait to rewind it each time then the walkman eat it while one the way to vacation. This is how it started...

And when the cd came out, it was like a dream. No more rewinding, no more tape being ate, just the dreaded scratched disk, and the damn portable player skipping every 10 seconds while in your pocket!

The struggle was real kids.. you have no idea how good you have it now.

shite...I was so damn happy when I finally got a Walkman. Before that, I was bringing this on field trips in the early 80's...
Complete with my old man white one earpiece headphone and a bag of tapes...
I do sometimes marvel at my phone today. It not only can access the entire word's collected knowledge via the internet, but hold a vast array of movies and photos AND my entire music collection that I struggled to have even a tiny bit of with me when I as a kid.

That is where the term "mix tape" orginated from. The ability to put whatever songs you wanted on a cassette tape. I had 2 tape boxes filled with tapes. Those were the days....

I used to convert my CD's to cassettes so I could mow the grass without having to mess with all the skipping on my discman.

Songs recorded off the radio with the dumbass DJ talking into the first few seconds.
The struggle was real.

And after the portable CD player, we had this sweet Sony Minidisc player.

I remember posting up by the radio with a cassette player and blank cassette ready to hit the record button to record my favorite songs from the radio back in the day.

I had that series 2 Walkman when I was a Senior in HS, Rush Exit Stage Left sounded awesome on it...

I remember in the very early 2000's sitting in the dugout before a baseball game and a guy whipped out one of these. Had thousands of songs on it. BLEW OUR MINDS. Thing was a freaking brick too. Crazy now I couldn't even be bothered to keep an ipod around since my phone does everything.
