CDs remember when they started to show up?

Because I do, it was Jermaine Dupri (JD) – Life in 1472. The CD which include the hit and my favourite song at the time money ain't a thang feat. Jay-Z. I remember my mom saying that CD are a waste of money and how I'm going to starch the shit out of it “and it na gon work”. Little did she know that not only would it be the new way to keep music , but i still got that Cd in my collection of over 200 CD's in my room !!! But i do miss the old Cassettes, making mixes from ish you got off the radio and stuff u got off you friends tapes... good old Dubbing!
