Most of my friends using Napster, back then, used to burn CDs from MP3. Meaning, back to CDA format, so that they could listen to them on standard cd players.
That, or only listened to them on the computer.
Yes. That was me as well,once I got a PC powerful enough to decode them without glitches.
I now remember swapping MP3s with a friend after downloading them on a 57K line before ADSL times. Not nice
Actually, I would also occasionally record them on a cassette tape for my pre-empeg Pioneer car stereo. Then the Empeg came and the world changed and all was good.
I still remember the immensely satisfying feeling of having some intelligent, computerish, versatile, powerful car stereo in my very first car (VW Polo, 2001). A dream come true. And the liberating feeling from all the tapes and cd cases and all that waste of space and time.
Oh well, you all know well about that
