I did get music for free. But at the time internet was barely a concept were i lived (rural city in bumfuck nowhere) so my setup for getting free music was recording it from the radio to a cassette and then digitize it on a freak in-bay tape deck on my uncle’s pc. So i could load it on a nomad jukebox i had somehow found for cheap at a flea market. (And no. I wasn’t smart enough to plug the nomad straight into the radio and record)

I miss that hackery. I don’t miss the abysmal audio quality
