  • I remember that time and it was kind of awful. It was brutal in terms of packaging, and lugging around all those cds sucked. It was way more expensive and the money still all went to record companies, not to mention how terrible it felt to pay full price for a mostly garbage cd just for one song (singles existed though but not for everything).

    Records companies also had final say on who we listened too and completely controlled the whole scene essentially.

    I get the nostalgia but it was 100% worse both for artists and consumers. Well it has always been rough for artists tbh, I don’t know if it’s harder right now or not.
