Re:Why play a music CD? No ads, no privacy terrors, no algor... by rchaud on Friday May 17, 2019 @04:35PM (#19943326)
In 1997, I'd wager more people listened to college radio than they do now, simply because there weren't as many alternatives.

Their bookstores would likely also have had a few rock/alternative/electronic music magazines to offer choices outside of Top 40.

If they were lucky, they might also have had an indie music store in town where you could browse through the stacks and make conversation with the proprietors who'd turn you on to new stuff.
