Even at 19 I was a lazy one, so my first CD player (purchased in 1989) was a five-disc carousel that made mix-tape production a (relative) breeze, as I could program a song each from five different discs and then just hit record on the cassette deck. That same year I also acquired a small mixing board so when I felt motivated enough to actually play around with cross-fades between vinyl and CD I could do so.
