@PROBLEMASAQUI
sure. back in 1999 when you had to wait for the song to come on on the MTV or VH1, couldn't replay it over and over like you can now on YouTube, when you couldn't download the mp3 to your phone and carry it around in your pocket and listen anytime you want
1999, an inconvience has now become romanticism.
