Black Friday in 1999 or 2000, Best Buy had these for $20 with a $20 mail in rebate that I never got.

Rollin - Limp Bizkit, Bother - Stone Sour, Linkin Park - Crawling...
poopyfingerbang
Amen!!

Maybe so but it doesn't skip when I walk briskly so I'm still glad I ditched the cd "walk"man
QuanticChaos
I was going through old photos today and I found one from 2008 and there is one of these on my dash!

Can we go back to those days where everything was easier and we didn’t have to worry about anything but homework due the next day.

Great, Californication is stuck in my head now
LAMovieDesign
Better than the really random song I just woke up to in my head: No Random Sacrifice by Elton John. Like where the fuck did that come from?
Itseasymkay
I guess you'll dream of californication now
LadiesPleaseDontPmMeYourNudes
Its stuck in my head too but, as a I am a little girl from Sweden, ill dream of silverscreen-portation.

Yep, I listened to HIM too back in the day.

why bother downloading these when you could just turn on the radio/MTV and hear all these songs pretty much in this order?
Stalinswife
I used to convert the YouTube music videos to mp3 files. Was I the only one getting music like that?
stilloldbull
Nope.
Glasgow351
I used WinMX to get all my MP3s. Spent hours editing the filenames & downloading cover art on Media Monkey. Still have all of them.
j3llis
Winmx with Winamp was a powerful combo!
Aprilmadness
Oh my god.
yuukaikara
Am I the only one here that's bothered by the 3 on the last line?
swedeonamoose
oh i remember the absolute BS they talked when these were new, 128mb would fit 100 songs acording to 1 comercial i saw.
previoustopcomment
with low enough audio quality you probably could.
swedeonamoose
is it a song, is it a screeching demon, wtf knows but hey i managed to cram 100 songs in xD
rasheans
So you didn't convert your CDs into mp3? This somw sort of peasant joke? Lol
TwoAccountsDown
You're not in any position to be calling others peasants if you're listening to MP3 instead of WAV.
rasheans
Im in position to make jokes whenever i feel like it tho, so there's that.
vidiv
flacc is where it's at.
Radix865
Oh look at the rich kid with his CD's, probably also had an actual brand name MP3 player too!
crateo
I had one. It broke. Got this Chinese one on ebay for 20$. Still working today.
rasheans
Well i got a netMD, but ummm yeah instead of waiting a week to download an album by dial up it was just a 30 mins rip and better quality.
pandro
I converted mine. Into wma because I'm an idiot.
cjandstuff
While everyone was buying iPods or a Zune, I bought a Dell DJ. I was not a smart kid.
rasheans
I tried to convert mines to FLACC, got like 20 songs in one GB and drained yhe battery like it was an iPhone lol, just stick to mp3
pandro
this was in 2001. Then I found out if you get a new pc, windows assumes you *stole* them and refuses to play them. fuckers.
RampantRabbid
Err someone cant count he clearly lists 8 viruses. All these songs suck ass
PancakeQueeen
+1 Like, for Evanescence, Linkin Park, and RHCP.
theglimmeringwarlock
And an updoot for you! Those are good jams

Well I owned a walkman and these days no one visits my sarcophagus anymore.
Memongo808
Tru day. Too old for this digital generation, but I can't get into AARP yet. Where's my Walkman ?
AtsaMattaForMe
maybe ease up on the whole cursing anyone who dares to approach the sacred chamber
spongebobmingepants
All downloaded from limewire running the risk of giving your pc all sorts of virus.
kesaci
56K baby. I can’t wait until the end of the day for it to finish downloading!
twfeline
Usenet. No virus worries.
Garuff
Occasionally downloading an audio file that began with "My fellow Americans" instead of what you wanted.
Bullchip
Soulseek ftw
Zephronias
I used MP3Rocket back when it was free and even more questionable. Oh, those halcyon days of youth. . .
fajere
Learned how to format and backup my computer the hard way. Yes in that order. FML

Yup. That or bear share
AwesomeTeddybear
Kazaa or Napster my man, how young are these people :)
banz111
And Morpheus
Stuey1221
Yeah MP3 players were post Napster though
AwesomeTeddybear
True, I had mine with LimeWire I think.. Napster is GTA 1 timezone :)
JoeMalmsteen
I remember having one of those.
scottyzelsnyder
I actually still have mine :D
LeafofGreen
I found mine, plugged it into my laptop and my antivirus lit tf up lol
grazaoth
Same one and at some point half of those songs. Now its like +1k songs on the phone.
Jonduke19
Grey one here too
Yotengo
This was the pinnacle of MP3 players, just pop that cap off use as a thumb drive it even had a microphone to record shit
CoffeeAndCinnamon
Same, but mine was blue
caprisun2
Pepperidge Farm remembers
ZiomalZParafii
Still have it (had 3 of them actually). Could change volume, hit next song or pause in winter, with gloves, through the coat. Beat that
MyEndWillNotBeOnEarth
Mine was blue
BlueRacoon
silver baby
AbsolutelyNotTheNSA
Me too!!!
JoeMalmsteen
So was mine.
Sandwichbandit
Same, and my brother had a pink one
Zenshien
Mine was dark grey :)
Askerith
Mine was white, then it soon become beige
IxisColorBaron
Mine was black, or maybe dark grey also :)
orangefactorfive
Except the MP3 encoding on Californication is terrible and makes your car stereo speakers buzz when you play through the cassette adapter.
MistryBabylon
Wasn't it the song itself that was terrible?
PedroBenecol
Then again, the whole album was a victim of the loudness wars. Even the CD gives me a headache.
discorage
I know how you feel Pretty much everything by RHCP gives me a headache.
Panomosh
And one of the tunes has special characters in the title so you now know it as "In a god's country"
YoudSwearImAVirgin
They clearly forgot Half the Man I Used to Be by Nirvana
Sprinx
You mean “Creep” by Stone Temple Pilots?
YoudSwearImAVirgin
Yes, but growing up with friends/family using limewire and such to download songs, this one was always mislabeled as Nirvana
SeeYouInTheNextOne
Or the girl next door by blink-182
EvilKam
The master mix of Californiacation was overseen by Rick Ruben, and he ensured the CD release had gobshyte quality.
kirmokum
pls explain.
EvilKam
In layman's terms: All of the various tracks for vocals and instruments have been processed so that everything is nearly the same volume.
EvilKam
What results is a lifeless production, with no emotional content. There are no exciting "louder" spots, no calming "quieter" spots, just a
EvilKam
stream of unchanging volume. Over the radio, music is "compressed" to maintain a more constant volume, but that's not to make it sound
cheeseisatypeofmeat
I think it was one of the ways to stop piracy. They couldn't be turned into mp3s easily. The whole album was like that. Was really annoying.
jtxyz
You had a cassette player? Well la de da Mr. Cadillac.
ZeroCoolisCrashOverride
As far as I’m concerned, those cassette adapters operate on pure magic
tomyironmane
Nah, DA converter and a thing to make the electromagnetic signal the tape head expects. Easy day. You can probably get most of the parts.
tomyironmane
... Actually, if you're playing it out of the headphone jack, it doesn't even need the DAC.
thomas20071
as am I.
SixtyFourAndTwo
I'm a certified & successful audio engineer. Its magic.
IHuggedaCorgiToday
Im still running my cassette adapter in my 1997 car, sound is actually not that bad. Better than those fm ones
Cr4zyC4tLady
The cassette adapters weren’t bad. The fm ones were garbage in most areas, but some were ok. I went through so many adapters over time lol
counterfeitdreams
I still make cds for my car
causamortis1
Gotta step it up to 2010 and get that bluetooth cassette adapter.
IHuggedaCorgiToday
Yeah I've seen these lol
DrkBluePenguin
03 Buick Century. Using a bluetooth cassette adapter.
DogeTopMK2
Take off or un plug the cars antenna if you want the rf modules to work better
tiderfish
I got a cassette deck with an aux input in the 90’s so I could plug in a disk man. Eventually I got a 6 disk changer for it
warmNchewey
What year are you guys living in? I'm old enough to remember this shot but for God's sake...upgrade.
BananabalNectar

LOL!
IHuggedaCorgiToday
It's a classic car!
warmNchewey
Lol!
Atomic2
You have to get the Chinese FM transmitters. They don't give a fuck about US laws about being overpowered. Never had a problem.
donteatlegoplease
That's how you get the 'rona!
Atomic2
Whats a 'Lona?
donteatlegoplease
Misspelling of "'rona," as far as I can tell
