    That was an amazing time to be alive. I miss it sometimes. No need for a music streaming service when you have 4 gigs of music on one CD. Then If you get bored you can pull out the other CDs that also have stupid amounts of music. Or maybe you burned all of a language learning program onto one disc. ALL of the language discs onto one.

        They probably mean the mp3 equivalent of what it would be in wav, since most any CD player that could genuinely care about files could play mp3’s. … Although that could easily get past six CDs on one’s worth so… I dunno’!

      When I started listening to the harry Potter audiobooks I had the first 4 on tape. They filled a small suitcase.
      I got 5 and 6 on CDs, each with ~20-25 CDs.
      The 7th book came on mp3 CDs. Just 3 for the whole book. It absolutely blew my mind
