I remember >w<

I member!
but who can recall a entire TAPE doing that!

Also I think some of the ones I got where meant to be used in clubs beacuae the had extended and alternative versions of said song

I am..

I've done that. And out of that habit, I wound up doing it digitally a few times, too.

Rob Zombie's Dragula and Gorillaz Clint Eastwood.
And ya know in the grand scheme of things CD players were a smaller blip on the radar than audio cassettes.

Both of those were actual good albums though...

Oh, no doubt. But that didn't stop me from playing tracks more than others.

Yeah, no doubt. Clint Eastwood is easily Gorrilaz' best song.

oh I remember that hehe

I bought a cassette tape for one song...

what about cassettes? i can remember cd's. some cassettes but mostly cds.

Lolll me

I remember, and I still don't know what music I like

EEEYUP!

O aye! I still have my copy of the Savage Garden single of 'The Animal Song' (with the remix of 'Santa Monica' as its 'B-Side' on Track 2) that I bought specifically for that one song. It was....disturbing to find out a song that sounded that good was attached to a banal excretion of a movie like 'The Other Sister', which I doubt anyone remembers today. o_o

-2Paw.

I'm still guilty of that, just digitally now.

yup[

Got that beat - I have piles of 45 rpm records in the basement from the 1970-1990's....

Yes!
I can also remember buying a whole TAPE for one song too

Ahahahah I've done that a few time! Being able to buy individual songs on Amazon is a good thing. Some artists are wise to this because some songs are more desired than others, so they make it where you can only get it from the whole album.

I remember buying a whole wax cylinder for -- wait, they only held one song.

But yeah, I've even bought LPs for one song. Steely Dan's Gold album, to get FM (No Static at All).

It's been so long since I remember doing that once. My dad taught me and I put on one song that I liked for a while... til my brother took it from me and put his stuff in instead.

90's kid, Present!

Oh yeah! Searching through the racks, or whatever they were called, looking through the spaces nearby in case some jackass didn't put it back in the right place. Finally finding it, carefully reading the back to make sure it had the right song smack in the middle of all the others on the list. Looking at the price, serious debating it, then giving in and buy it only to have the magnetic sensors go off as you try to leave and they call you back because you look juuuuust young enough to steal and check over your receipt and they wave it over the demagnetizer pad again. You walk towards the exit and the sensors go off again, you turn and look back at them and they just wave you off as you stand in the middle of the beeping/screaming doorway and you finally make your way home.
The journey for your one song isn't over yet though! Now you gotta OPEN the CD case. The plastic wrap and stickers making it more sealed than gods damned undiscovered Egyptian tomb! If you didn't have a razor blade it felt like you were going to break the case and just live with the crack along the front or back ruining the look of it forever. And even if you managed to peel off those stickers, the residue would attract all manner of dust and hair to it within 10 minutes making it look like a hot mess. You could do this in a sterile surgery room and the same thing would happen. Once out you get that New CD smell, kids these days will never know. That pristine shine on the disc, that pure untouched glimmer you know you will never see again because once you take it out of that case it's only smudges and scratches from there on out. Now you place that thing into your CD player and hit the skip button over and over until you get to the track you want. You are then blessed with the music your soul demands and everything, absolutely everything has become worth it. For those 3 minutes you and your song are happy.
Nowadays, yeah. Amazon or YouTube with a good YouTube to .Mp3 ripper and boom, your song without the rest.

I remember. So does Pepperidge Farms.

Mam, I come from Europe. So I was old enough to buy cassettes and rewind them using my finger until I get the desired song so I could replay it on radio or Walkman we had.

As for CDs, my Dad worked with computers, so he would burn in our desired songs for free into empty disks (early age of piracy, as you see).

i still have a Need For Speed Demo for PS2 that i got from a shell gas station promo. lol

DAMNNNNNN,,, I bought CASSETTS for one song.

Remember, I did many times.

i still do buy cds

Born in 84 I remember when buying cassette tapes before frigging cds existed lol

I do... *Feels old*

I still do that. I used to work at a place where I did that for the soul purpose of procuring The Simpsons Box Set DVDs

Yeah....that happened....once.

When I used to buy CD, I used to make sure there were at least 3 songs I liked to justify buying it

Smart.

*Raises hand* And the first CD I ever bought?

Pokemon: 2.B.A. Master Soundtrack

Vinyl singles

i remember mini disc ads

Once i bought a cassette tape for one song.
I did not have then a portable CD player (I do not have it now), or the Internet.
The Internet in such matters has become holy salvation.
