Yeah, I hear ya. When I was 12 after getting those aforementioned CDs, I would lie on the floor and just stare at the cover art, read the lyrics and just listen to the whole album over and over.

Ah! The memories are all coming back: the CD player we had at home was actually my brother's. When he left home I had to quickly transfer my newly acquired CDs to cassette tape. Fast-forward a year and my step-dad bought us a CD player and each one of us had our own interchangeable multi-disk loaders.

Oh oh oh and my first diskman cost me like 128 bucks. No skip protection. That part was annoying.
