CDs were so much better than cassettes. But as soon as I could get an MP3 player in the mid 1990s I was over CDs forever. The first car MP3 player I had was a dock for a computer hard drive, it had a faceplate that displayed file info and a knob to select songs/folders.
We got a first gen iPod when we leased a New Beatle convertible in… whatever year that must have been. It still had an actual spinning hdd inside with, I want to say, 30gb of storage. I regret tossing it eventually. Those are collectors items now.
That sounded high so I looked it up. It was 5gb! Seemed like so much at the time. Of course I’m so old I remember my first computer had a 200mb hard drive and I wondered how anyone could fill up so much space then.
I had a big cassette organizer. Later CD wallets.

Honestly 5 gb is thousands of songs, especially if they’re not FLAC / mp3 320.
It won’t be your entire library if you’re a music buff but it’s days worth of music.
Cassette organizer? I just put em in a stack or on a shelf lol
I had a double-sided suitcase type thing with slots for the cassette cases, it must have held 50 at least. That was on my car
And a wooden rack in the house that held dozens. I still have it and the cassettes in a closet somewhere.
I never lived through the era of car cassettes. I just have a deck at home
