Long before the cloud (whatever that is) and before playlists guessed what we’d like to discover, music was something you touched, held, and hunted for.

And now, thanks to a surprising twist, the more “hands-on” approach to music is sneaking back. With the new school year in full swing and more schools banning the use of smartphones in classrooms, students who can’t stream music on their phones have surprisingly turned to retro tech (yes, retro) like iPod Shuffles and other no-frills MP3 players, sparking a surge in sales on eBay. This even sparked a mini-movement for Apple to bring back the Shuffle.

It’s a reminder that the magic of music isn’t just about what you are listening to, but also the ritual.

Why the Act of Listening Mattered as Much as the Music

Beyond the physical media itself, there were also the physical acts of listening to music. There was the moment you carefully dropped the needle between two tracks, used a pencil to wind a cassette tape to the perfect spot for your mix, and inconspicuously slipped your transistor radio’s mono earbud in during church.

Today, listening to music has become what you may refer to as “invisible” — streaming from an unknown server and accessed by voice or an app. It’s almost beyond comprehension how much has changed.

One rare constant in the story of music’s evolution is one of the OGs — radio. Even now, AM/FM radio reaches about 85% of Americans aged 25–64 each week, and that audience has stayed steady, according to Radio Ink. That’s higher than any other format. What does this tell us? No matter how slick or powerful the latest listening gadget is, people still crave connection — whether it’s the touchy-touch of physical media or the comforting voice of a local DJ.

But don’t count out the power of physical media combined with nostalgia. In 2024 and 2025, vinyl sales actually beat CD sales, according to The Verge. Albums once relegated to dusty bargain bins are now cherished and highly sought after. Some artists are even offering new releases on — of all things — the seemingly unromantic cassette tape. Most notably, Taylor Swift is releasing The Life of a Showgirl on cassette, priced at around $19.99.

From the crackle of a pocket transistor radio to the satisfying click of a car’s multi-CD changer, we’re rewinding through the nostalgic gadgets that shaped how we listened to and experienced our favorite music.
