I have seen it all. The gramophone popularly known as His Masters Voice where one had to wind it repeatedly for it to perform. Then came the turn table for playing the LPs that were once played on the gramophone. We then saw the deck to play cassettes, CDs played on DVDs, laptops and desktops. Just download music on your pen drive from CDs and elsewhere on the Net and play it on your smart phones, laptops and desktops and now YouTube. I have cassettes and CDs languishing. I just copy music from the Net which is free and load it in pen drives. Just open up YouTube and listen to loads and loads of music. When did you step in? Did you experience "His Master's Voice'?

My grandparents had an old style gramophone. Growing up we had a vinyl records player, good quality and I still love a lot more to listen to those records than to the cold sound of CDs, not to mention the poor quality of computer sound.

@allknowing - We gave one of our turntable to my niece, but we kept our best one and we still have all our vinyl records, both mine and those of my husband.

I didn't experience His Masters Voice. Our family has a turn table for playing the LPs.

They sure are changing things all the time. You get used to one thing and than it is replaced with something else. I go on you tube all the time to listen to music.

I stepped in from the world of cassettes. I knew that the company HMV was the abbreviation for His Master's voice.

I had cassettes, and LP's and now I need to get rid of the CD\s and DVD's. Any takers? No! I thought not. I guess I will just have to throw them in the garbage, You can't even give away the old technology anymore.

These guys when they upgrade never think of how those who are attached to their old belongings would have to just chuck them away

That is what we called the RCA Victrola and RCA dog, but I stepped in with turntables. We have a huge record collection which are in vogue now and all our CDs. Of course, one needs a top notch stereo system to enjoy the music.
