You’re right. This post appears to be closer to when the tech was invented vs when they became mainstream. CDs were invented in 1982 but usage really didn’t take off until adoption in the 90s.

Back in the days when the slightest breeze blown in the general direction of the CD player would cause it to skip.

You have to expect some skipping when the cd player is attached to your hip

I don't think cassette tapes were common in 63 either. They were using 8 track cassettes commonly before that.

CDs were more like 1992. I was around 5-6 then and distinctly remember getting Vanilla Ice's CD.

And vinyl has been hot again for decades. Especially when it was the only medium for DJ’ing - before digital turntables became a thing. Major cities have been littered with hipster vinyl shops for like 20 years.

Nothing really makes sense here.

Cassettes weren't big until the eighties and cd's were nineties. USB? Sure, maybe. Spotify didn't become Abaya for the US until 2011 (I waited patiently for that). And vinyl has definitely been coming back for quite some time now.

Usb got big in like mid-00s.

We were still using CD players till 2005. I remember somewhere in '04 or '05 when 128mb mp3 players went rampant.
