\"\"<\/a>After my tape deck crapped out in 1997, I was stuck listening to either the radio or full albums in whatever order the artist intended. \u00a0That all changed in 2001, when the new-fangled MP3 technology got combined with my new CD burner.<\/p>\n

This was the last CD of psudeo-new music that I burned. \u00a0Fall of 2005 was consumed with other activities and that Christmas, I got a Sirius satellite radio, at which point I pretty much stopped using the CD player in the car. \u00a0In fact, the CDs that were in the 5 disc changer at the time stayed there untouched for so long that, when I tried to put in something different, the new discs wouldn’t work.<\/p>\n
