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
The still a few stores around here in Portland trading CDs and vinyl
Still is!

Napster was 99
I was talking those CDs from the library and loading them onto my Rio PMP
I used to go to Tower Records to listen to albums. Never bought a single cd.
