Found these at the thrift for around $1 each. Overall not bad. But the pearl jams are EU reissues.

How did I do?

I’m posting this because I want to hear opinions from people older and wiser than me who know their stuff better than I do. Maybe you’ll enjoy hearing my perspective?

I’m new to collecting physical music, and all people my age are collecting vinyl. Some don’t even own a record player and just hang them on their walls for show, but the people who actually do own one question why I’m so into CDs. (They’re “old”, in a “not-cool” way.)

I just got my first ever CD, In Rainbows by Radiohead, and I’m SO in love. The packaging the design on the CD itself are so awesome, and I’m so excited to hear it when I get a CD player for Christmas. I have a bunch ordered, but they’re all stuck in limbo from the Canada post strike.

Aesthetically, I get it; Vinyl is such an amazing medium to me. At one point I was interested, but now I would never buy one myself. The main reasons are money, storage, and getting the equipment needed (People gatekeep what affordable supplies to get).

Speaking of gatekeeping, the biggest reason I’m not a Vinyl collector is because the stinkers of the community stink BAD. The greatest example of this was when I went to my local record store and asked the ~50 year old bearded man behind the desk if they had any Radiohead vinyl. He looked at me, and as if he was talking to a puppy, said “No, we don’t. Is this your first time here?”

I’m surprised I didn’t cry in frustration looking back. I was really looking forward to that record store trip. I didn’t think about vinyl or CDs for close to a year after that.

But, I’m super excited to start a CD collection!! Supporting artists I love makes me so happy, and seeing their artistic vision in the form of physical music is something I cherish.

Bonus question: Any CDs you guys think a teenage girl would like, drop them here!!

i have alot more than this, but these are the ones i really care about sooo

After a few years of returning to vinyl records and even dedicating a YouTube channel to it, I think I'm ready to go back to CDs. I'm currently in the middle of a deep dive into the albums of 1991, many of which I have on CD, and man these things sound great!

The price and various problems with vinyl records lately has got me thinking it might be time to scale back, if not give it up altogether. This week, I did some crate digging for CDs mission from my collection and it reminded me of the fun of digging for cheap records back in the 90s.

It's got me wondering if there might be a CD resurgence like the vinyl comeback from a few years ago. There might just be one for personally. One of tracks is knowing the difference between excellent sounding CDs and the over-driven "loudness wars" ones.

I'm glad I kept all of my CDs over the years.

finally have at least 1 version (stolen or TV) of every Taylor album! also picked up a cobra starship album to add to my Patrick Stump project collections

E.

It sounds great! i did notice that it didn’t come with its original speakers and i’ll have to find them online buuut good find nonetheless :)

Went in for De La Soul and made out nicely. Even completed my Trenchmouth album discography

I have tried google lens but there are no matching results. It contains the songs of the album Californication by red got chilli peppers and my dad gave it to me. was it just an empty disk in which my dad burned the songs or is it an official RHCP disk? It doesn't look like the official Californication CD disk tho. PLS HELP
