Take Me Back Tuesday - 5/15/07

Hey, it's Take Me Back Tuesday!

What musical formats do you remember (CD, Cassette, LP etc)?

I remember L.P.s from way back in my youth. I never had any, but my parents did and I remember them being played. If I had any childrens' albums, they were all on L.P.

I also remember cassettes, because I used to own a whole bunch of them in my youth. I'd even buy blank cassettes and make copies of songs from the radio and such. Ahh, those were the days!

I obviously remember CDs, because I use them now. In my youth, I remember thinking they were the coolest thing and wishing I could have them. How great it would be to not have to rewind things and change sides, and listen to whichever song you want when you want! I take it all for granted now.

What was your favorite format 5 years ago? 10? What is it now?

Ten years ago was 1997, and I was using CDs by then. So everything after that is CDs, and my current preferred format is CDs, supplemented with mp3s on my iPod.

What was your first portable music player? What is your current portable music player?

I don't remember my first portable music player, but I can be certain it was a portable cassette player. In 1996, I finally acquired a portable CD player, which I thought was just awesome. My current portables are a CD Walkman (which will be rarely used now), and an iPod Nano.
