This is a thing few people under 40 will understand. CDs were pretty standard everywhere by the early 90's.
Standard, but expensive. I still had to rely on cassettes till the late 90s
Ahh, but were you buying cassettes or making your own mix tapes with blanks and then taking them on the go with your walkman?
Mix tapes all the way! Sometimes even recording straight from radio shows praying the host wouldn't speak during my recording.
The only album I bought in an original cassette was "August and everything after" by the Counting Crows. I played that tape every single morning going to school for like a year.
And therefore, no boring side.
When we got CDs at home in college, my friend still all had cassettes in their cars.
