I love most of them, but some are absolute shite.
Love em though havent played them for a while. Need a new player.
I value them more than Space.. i want them in my happy place with my favourite books and guitars and anything else which will make me feel good.
More is more for me... i dont need lots of space. I like stacks of stufffff space is just space..sooner or later i will fill it with something why not my memories. The itch stays scratched.
Not bought any for a while as too busy with kids at weekends etc. Love searching for cds and love looking in the local library for books.. I would like a local cd dvd vinyl books posters library. Free for a good rummage etc instead of computers and free internet.
I will have to start the arduous task of putting them on a spreadsheet, because I have been caught out recently buying things I already have.
I like the ceremony of putting a vinyl record on. It focuses me on an album. The same goes for CDs to some extent. It's just more involving than clicking a link to a track on my phone or computer.
I've avoided subscribing to a streaming platform so far. I think I'd probably be overwhelmed by the vast amount of music available to be honest. I struggle enough with the size of my own music collection at times - it's probably a couple of thousand CDs and a few hundred vinyl LPs - and it's hard to choose what to play on occasion, even though it's all music I chose to buy. My CDs and vinyl are all stored on dedicated shelving units, which look pretty cool to me. They do take up a reasonable amount of space though.
All my CDs are ripped to a NAS which feeds various SONOS players around the house, so I have the 'streaming' thing sorted to some degree even though SONOS's sound quality is basic at best. It's fine for background music.
A few years ago I ditched all the jewel cases and stored the CDs themselves all in several of these Amazon 400 CD cases. Worth it to me for the amazing amount of space saved - they now all fit on a small shelf in a wardrobe rather than a dedicated wall of shelves. I've kept the cases that were limited edition or otherwise interesting though. I'd recommend the cases, they feel robust enough and protect the CDs. I also kept the booklets, which can just about fit into the pockets too.
I don't have a CD player any more, not since my beloved Rotel bit the dust. Everything is ripped to FLAC and run via a Squeezebox server (aka Logitech Media Server) running on a Raspberry Pi and into a Squeezebox Duet connected to the hi-fi.
I keep a record of my collection via Discogs. It hasn't quite stopped me buying the same album twice though!
Love them. Will now need to rip them to a digital platform. Some lovely obscure stuff.
Injured Veteran and head injury survivor. Bouts of grumpy behavior and brutal humor are to be expected.
Red meat and functional mushrooms.
Persistent and inconsistent guitar player.
A lefty, hence a fog of permanent frustration
Not enough guitars, pedals, and cricket bats.
USA Deluxe Strat - Martyn Booth Special - Epi LP Custom
FX Plex - Cornell Romany
The CD into a good DAC and into my amp sounds brilliant even though most of the tech's is 25 years old, I still see Hifi as a treat. I do love spotify for it's convenience and sheer quantity available.
We are spoilt in this modern era. I do miss going to woolies for some pick n mix and a browse through the CDs though.
