Having everything on an iPod is great, but I also have all of my CDs [~600] to handle, and to look at the info, and artwork. This satisfies my sense of nostalgia. I also play them on my Sony CD walkman when I want to travel back in time, when life was simpler.
Player of choice to this day is minidisc. like the tape and cd, you had to commit to what you chose to listen to for the day which i like because you give the artists room and time to build a complete experience.
Cool video, and a fun trip down memory lane having owned all of those devices in their prime. Really nice production with the video, too, man. Considering this showed up in my feed, here's hoping you get big views with this one!
Fantastic video man! Subbed. I believe the perfect format for portability, quality and being digital while also physical for that human interaction-ness was MiniDisc.
Lol😂 tape didn't "break" mate. It unravelled. Also u forgot the MiniDisc player (format released in 1992). Great video, nobody is perfect. Cool collection tho❤❤😊
@burgundyonly lol. Nice. Gkad u fixed it mate. Dirty pinch rollers cam cause them to unwind / unravel like that. Oh u didn't hear nor use Mini Discs? They are awesome esp for the time. Lots of support out there for them. If u were local (I am from the Caribbean) I'd spot u my player and discs for content. Mini Discs were made to replace the compact cassette format but 🍎 launched the iPod devices, leading to a bjg part of their (Mini Discs') demise. Cheers and warm greetings from T&T
Cool, remember the introduction of walkman. A real gamechanger for listenibg to music. Gave gone through numerous players of all formats. God kniws how many headphones I have went through, many, many more. Before the walkman we had portable casette players with builtin speakers. In the 60s my mother had portable battery driven single player and a bag filled with records that I used to play with as a kid. The lid was a loudspeaker. I look back romantivly into buying albums, loved the sleeves that had information, lyrics etc. Then you taped the albums putting them onto casettes. Remember listenibg to tge same 1 or two casettes fir months and you got really deep into tge music. I do hiwever prefer today, I have access to all music snd can dig in deep into whatever music I love. Unfortunstely the streaming platforms are not ststic and music i love have disapoeared and tgere is no way to find that music again. Iphone and airpods is the best! I have revived my old listenibg devices, they are very unconvenient.
oh also mini disk was the best of both worlds smaller than a cassette.. but digital like a cd.. and skip able ultra shock resistant.. the only negative was that mp3 made made it obsolete
If you burn a MP3 CD you can fine tune based on the quality. And have more then 100 tracks on one cd. I burned an MP3 CD with 3 or 6 albums and two EPs at MP3 320 total of 69 tracks. Luckily a lot of the newer CD players on the market support MP3 and I think most cars.
Portable music players have existed for a lot longer than this video lets on, since portable gramophones existed in the 1920s and 30s, such as the HMV 101. They're bulky machines that weight a ton, but they're still incredibly fun machines to use every now and then and I highly recommend looking into them if it seems interesting. As mentioned, portable record players existed prior to the Walkman, but the gramophones are where it started.
@@MiaTheFailure i did mention that they were attempts to make portable music earlier. I didn’t claim that it started in the 80s but it did take off in the 80s.
Hello! I have cassettes and CDs. Your video is great!! Where can I find portable cassettes, CD players, and MP3 players online? I HAVE A GOOD COLLECTION OF BOTH FORMATS, 8 TRACKS, AND LPS TOO!! THANKS AND BLESSINGS!!!
I think now is the best era of music, actually. Dedicated music players are making a comeback, old iPods are gaining a rather large fanbase, and music can still be purchased physically and digitally. In fact, more albums have recently been published on CD. Choosing to stick with streaming is just a skill issue. For me personally, I rip music tracks from games and old software, and sometimes download some music from TH-cam, and I put it all on my iPhone 3GS, which is what I use as my music player. I do have rather unorthodox taste in music, though, as I only tend to like ambient background music as seen in games and old Nintendo software, and I actively avoid tracks that focus on the lyrics rather than the melody, but I think my way of listening to music can be adapted to most tastes.
Pd. The only Big problem with the new or modern way of carrying music is that people haven't learned about musicians, composers, and arrangers and have the art of LPS covers!!!
@@gameingdude2266 ngl as a kid i was a total apple fanboy so i always thought the zune was bad but it would be nice to look back at it and see how good it really was.
@@burgundyonly yeah I’m more of a Apple fan too when it comes to mp3 players but it would be cool to see how the Zune has hold up over the years and if you do try and talk about all of them it would be cool’s to see how better that gotten(or worse lol who knows)
Very nice historic summary! Personally I never went into streaming. I like owning my music and mostly listen on MP3 files. I prefer dedicated devices to listening on my phone. Recently I found a flip phone that someone else dumped, so I picked it up and repurposed it as an MP3 player and FM radio receiver. I love it!
I used to create and sell some mixtapes for my friends back then, that's why recently for nostalgia, I bought a walkman and portable tape player, and when I played them I realized... my memories are false coz the quality is not that great lol... I guess I will move to CDs next... Also for me who growing up in late 90s... the reason of late adoptions of the CDs at least in my country were not because the people afraid of the old tech but: 1. The Prices. The price of the players and the Discs are a lot higher then the cassette's counterpart. 2. The skip (shock), many early portable cd players had issues with lag and skip when wear while moving. 3. Many people already had big collections of cassettes. That's why for example there were less user for portable CD's players (like Discman) but many people had static combo audio player like BoomBox or home audio cd cassettes players deck.
I love this comment cuz it gives a lot of insight on how things were back then. Thanks for the extra info! And yea i can imagine people having a huge cassette collection and not wanting to switch to CDs. Thats why the transition from CDs to iPod/MP3s was pretty seamless because you wouldn’t lose that big collection.
i buy my last casset player in 96 , was more convinent than portable cd , i had lot of tapes , was fiting in my pocket , and cd skip and jump ,, MD was supose to be the next portable format , but was to expensive , in 2004 i got i pod shufle , that die after a year ,, (making it the furst and last product i buy from apple ) and the game was oven when i got nokia phone with sd card ,,
SD card on a device is good, but after listening to music on my phone for a while I went back to listening on a separate device because I grew tired of interruptions to the music by notifications, calls and so forth. I recently found a dumb flip phone that someone else dumped. I picked it up and repurposed it as MP3 player and FM radio receiver. It doesn't have a SIM card, so no disruptions. It did take the SD card, so it's a lot of fun! It is also small and pocket friendly...
We have chased music availability for decades. Making it a common product and too much availability lowers the value. Nowadays nobody cares about new music. Album launch parties are not the same as they were.

Same here. Have both CDs and vinyls.

honestly the way it see it
cd is digital vinyl
minidisc is digital tape.... at least since DAT took a backseat as a consumer standard

@@Zimmy_1981 yeah I fixed it when i rewinded the tape again 😅. Might make a dedicated video for mini disc since i never heard or used it👀

I honestly wish i was there at that time to witness that. I feel like tech was moving at a crazy pace back then 🥲

CDs are the perfect hybrid of Digital & Physical. U had quality and convenience with ownership.

I would love to see a video on your thoughts of the Microsoft zune it was a competitor to the iPod and is pretty underrated

5:45 my favorite part
I find 💿 have better sound quality than streaming
Yup & no rent fees, data usage or dependency on a super reliable ISP & no crrdit card required or additional fees on card😊
The best generation is now in my opinion. Great video, man.
