Yeah except in 1999 you could go to Sam Goody or The Warehouse or whatever, and listen to the album in the store before buying, especially if it was a new release.

Personally, I was going to the public library and checking out it CDs from there.

There was also a market for used CDs back in the day so you could sell it and buy another

I used to go to Tower Records to listen to albums. Never bought a single cd.
