The first album I bought on compact disc was Metallica's self-titled "Black Album," after getting a CD player as a Christmas gift in 1995.
I previously bought the Black Album on cassette when it was released in 1991.
When I got an iPhone and music was now available digitally, the first record I downloaded was the Black Album.
When music is implanted in our brains someday, I'll start with the Black Album. It's a tradition, now.

My first CD player was a new stereo system for my room that I got for Christmas or Birthday
looked similar to this
I don’t think I ever had a portable one with headphones.

The first CD I bought for myself was Depeche Mode - Songs of Faith and Devotion. It's still my stranded on a desert island with only one album choice. I never tire of it.

I honestly don't, and that makes me kinda sad.
1990 is also a guess.
Makes me sad too.

I honestly don't know myself. I started out with 8 tracks then cassettes forever and I don't think I bought my first CD until I had graduated LSU in 90 and moved to Houston.
My first 8 track was Glass Houses and my first cassette was Kilroy Was Here but zero recollection of my first CD.
I didn't have a device I could play it on so why would I buy one?
Eta agree with alxtiger that it makes me sad I can't remember. I'm going to have to think a bit about this.
Eta I *think* it was This Mortal Coil. I had played the cassettes so much they developed chipmunks so I believe this was important enough to me to buy something that would last "forever".
To be fair I also still have almost every CD I ever purchased still chilling so maybe I should look back through them.

No, but I remember the first 45 rpm I bought.

Can't recall what the first CD I bought was, maybe Dinosaur Jr "You're Living All Over Me" but that's a guess. I do recall using CDs on air at KLSU in 1985 or so but it was still rare to have albums on CD at the station, it was still probably 95% vinyl. At the time, since I had access to a huge vinyl library, I would bring in blank cassettes and record albums so I wasn't buying much music. I don't think the first car I bought when I graduated had a CD player and I bought a new head unit with a CD player 2 or 3 years later....92 or 93.

The very first CD I purchased was before I even owned a player was Vienna by Ultravox. I had a friend record it for me onto tape. Forced to buy a player, that was my first listen from my own collection. My actual first listen to a CD was Sports by H and the News. (Not something I'd drop a needle on but it was my first experience.)
My next search was Pornography by The Cure, but all the record store had was The Head On The Door, so I picked that up as my second CD of all time.

I remember resisting for a bit, because I had so many records and cassettes... but my first CD was summer of '89... Hoodoo Gurus - Magnum Cum Louder..
Never bought cassettes again.. don't miss them and don't get the revival... eventually replaced what I deemed essential in my collection, with CDs...
I honestly don't know where those cassettes are... I would bet there are a bunch of tape cases in my Mom's attic.. or she ditched them... who knows..
I do regret selling my vinyl back then... I really wish I had held on to it..
edit: I believe I used a walkman with a tape adapter before I had an actual CD player in my car... struggling to remember what car I had an actual CD player in..

I think we talked about the fact your DJd at KLSU while I was in school there and I probably drove you crazy with Colourbox requests.
First 45..hmmm I'll have to think
First album is easy: Pyromania followed by the deluxe Heavy Metal soundtrack.

First CD received? Men In Black
First bought? No Boundaries. Some Kosovo benefit.
Had Ben Folds Five, Bush, Fiona Apple, Ozzy (Psycho man) NIN, Pearl Jam. Was a great album

I got my first CD player for my 14th birthday. It was a 6 disc changer.
The first CD I bought was The Cure Mixed up.
My first car didn't have a CD player. It didn't even have a tape deck. It was a fleet vehicle my dad bought from his job and only had a very basic AM/FM radio.
Once it was handed down to me, and I saved up some money, I got an Alpine tape deck installed at Mobile One in Metairie. I couldn't afford a CD player. So I used one of those adapters shaped like a cassette that plugged into the headphone jack of my discman.

It was this bad boy, and it had to have been 1996-97.
