CDs? I remember tapes.
God I used to hate DJ's that would talk up to the post. Used to record all my music from the air from the late night DJ's because they would often just queue up a few songs with no talking.

I have very fond memories setting up the candle and tuning the laser prism just right, following Razor 1911 instructions to set everything up correctly. While trying not to burn a hole in the walls of the house.
