    Nope, not every place had the money to burn on a cd in a jukebox from every artist. Also standing there for 45 minutes to listen to the entire thing? Who actually does that?

      You’re not wrong, but there were definitely people who spent tons of time listening to music at the record store.

        I guess, I was thinking of strictly purchasing. Yeah some people do just go and hang out and chill instead.

      There were actual listening stations with headphones here in Germany at certain media chains. Some people spent whole afternoons in there.

      But yeah, the opposite did exist. I remember, when I was a teenager friends got a dozen or more CDs for their birthday. Good old 1998.
