During my life music has changed a lot, not just in sound but in availability and the medium through which it is listened to. I can remember listening to tapes, and trying to record my favorite songs off the radio to listen to on tapes. Though mostly, I remember CDs. They were everywhere and I had so many, well, most of them were the boy bands. I loved my portable CD players, they were amazing. I could listen to my own music when I was out with my parents. Though they did skip, a lot, sometimes they had to perfectly still for it to not skip. I didn't get a MP3 player till they had been out a while. But I love being able to change up my music, and not being stuck to the radio or one CD. Unless I really like a song, I can hardly stand to pay attention to the whole song. So MP3 players are great for me. I also love the fact that on the internet I can listen to a song before I actually buy it, because I do not want to waste money on something that I will not listen to. The internet, I love the internet, point blank. I like to watch music videos; it gives me a sense of what the song was about to other people, sometimes. The internet provides all sorts of outlets for discovering new music, some that I have never heard in my life, nor probably would have if the internet hadn't changed music.

I completely agree that it's really nice to be able to listen to songs on the Internet before buying them. It's so convenient to not just have to go into it blindly and waste money on songs I end up not liking.
ReplyDeleteYeah I have alot of nostalgia about cassettes. The one thing I dislike about MP3's besides sometimes they have lower quality than cds is I view songs as part of an album and not singles. With cds, I know exactly how the artist wanted me to hear the order of the songs. If I hear a song I have on cd and its out of order it ruins it for me.
