Cd bruner in the early 90s.
I paid 600$ cash for a 4 speed cd burner.
I made my money back in 6 weeks.
Everything after that was pure profit.
Haha dang dude. You were ball'n to afford a x4 CD burner back then.
I made my money back in 6 weeks.I figured you were getting paid to make mix CDs from CD albums you had. As P2P Napster didn't come out till 1999 and Limewire, 2000.
CD burning was definitely something I wish I had done back in middle school. Ha
How was your CD burning hustle? How much did you charge for a CD? I'm interested to know more.
LOL, back before p2p there were direct download web pages in the prehistory of the web. I was pirating music in 1996 (maybe earlier?)
deeznuts had a basic search page and hyperlinks to a direct download of most popular music, and on a 56kbps modem it would only take about 45 minutes per song.
