I don't think that matters.

Everybody had a bunch (or thousands) of MP3s because mobile phones weren't a thing, fast mobile connections weren't a thing and there was simply no infrastructure to have something like Spotify.

If we'd have Spotify with everything in 2003, we would not swap hard drives in school breaks.

I was a subscriber to “Yahoo music unlimited” in 2005 and transferred my DRM’d WMA files to a zen micro with a 4GB spinning disc.

granted, i never met anyone else at school doing the same thing.
