Yeah, I was about to respond with something like this. I knew that CDs came out in the early 80's, but I still more or less associate them with the 90's; it wasn't expected that you bought a CD for music until then. As a very little kid I had cassettes for my sing-along tunes, by the time 6 or 7 (1997-1998), it feels like pretty much everyone had made the jump to CDs.

If you had a CD playing device at home by 1982, it would be like having an 8K 60" TV today.
Or, as a better match, a high end VR device able to push 4k games to each eye at 120FPS.
Everyone and his grandma used tapes/cassetes until mid 90's.
