CDs can’t be erased on the cloud, to then either push other songs on you, or the “remasters” (cough-cough In Flames), and otherwise most digital albums still hold this “artificial” limit. Even worse is when they limit it to 2-3 minutes nowadays, because Tik-Tok.
And remember paying $20 in 1996 for that 15 song CD, and remember your heartbreak when you listen through for the first time and find out there was only the one song you knew that you really liked and maybe two others that were just okay?
Remember popping in a CD?
It could hold up to like 15 songs!
Nostalgia is good & nice but nah I don’t need artificial limits on stuff today.

Dark days indeed.
what about when they started to make cd players that could read a data disc full of mp3s? what a time to be alive. no need for a changer in the trunk!
Ha ha yeah, around the time where 128MB mp3 players got accessible!
