Pre-home internet I remember running a line-in to my soundblaster card from a clock radio and recording Tool's Sober to my HDD.
The wav file took up a good chunk of the HDD. After a good amount of funking around with encoding it was barely comprehensible and still took up too much room. Was exciting and felt like a glimpse of the future.
I think there will soon be a nostalgic wave of people degrading recordings to sound like mp3s that have been compressed to hell.
I can hear the jingle bell high hats already.
