Need some clarification on managing my collection in Discogs

As the title says ACS I'm sure I'm overcomplicating things cause that's just what my brain does. Lol

I'm working on editing my CD collection(not as a seller, just to reference my CDs) in the Discogs app so that it includes all relevant information and I'm a bit confused on what the "sleeve condition" field should be. The reason for the confusion is when you tap the drop down menu, there is an option for "No Cover". Is that the CD cover art or is the sleeve the slipcase, like Marilyn Manson Triptych CDs or NIИ Downward Spiral?

My (improved) collection so far.

A couple of guys told me that my way of shelving was nonsense, so I shifted it around a little bit. Better now?

External speakers for CD player?

Hi, I made a post a while back asking for recommendations on how to get started on a cd player system. I have since came into possession of a sony 5 disc player, but it doesn't have its own speakers. It has a left and right line out ports, but that's it. What's the best next step regarding speakers? should I use a RCA to aux converter to plug into something? Will the speaker need to be powered, or do passive speakers work as well, since the player is being powered already? Thanks for any advice.

An introvert’s dream, and so good for my mental health.

As an avid record collector, I started to get burnt out. Vinyl is getting too hype, too expensive, and as someone who hates large crowds, can’t stand going to a record store to find millions of people digging.

Enter my new CD phase. Bought a Sony Pulse 5 Disc Changer at a Goodwill for $15. And now I’m just digging for CDs, and let me tell you, I’ve fallen in love all over again. I’m usually the only one in the CD section digging, while everyone else is by the records. I also see a rare CD, and more than likely, will still be there a couple days later. I also am finding albums that normally would be upcharged like up to $40-50 for only $3-5 max.

CDs are healing my mental health, it’s bringing me back to when I was a kid again, and it’s allowing me to still be introverted in stores.

God bless CDs. Even if they don’t make a comeback like vinyl did, well, at least it’ll stay cheap.

The pain of wanting a rare independently released CD

Man panoramic is the CD that make me dive head first into hard rock. Greg Norris' voice puts me into a trace man, thank God he has side bands

Should I attempt to fix this?

Just picked up this mo-fi copy of Aja at my local record store for 5 dollars and didn't see the cracks until I got home. Should I attempt to fix it? I have already ripped the album to my computer just in case and it plays fine. The only solution I can currently think of is one of those disc ring stickers.

How do you decide what to buy when looking around?

As someone who wanted to start in collecting physical media for music, I collect movies, what helps you decide what to buy. Price, knowledge of the band or singer. Or even not knowing who the band/ singer is. Or maybe because the CD cover looks cool. Or you don't know a genre of music and what to give it a shot. Or you just find something on spotify and you want to own it physical.

Currently I'm just buying CDs from some of the bands I know and enjoy listening to. Trying to complete the discography of The Killers currently and owning some soundtracks of some Broadway plays.

Just curious cause the genre gaps I've seen in purchases are wild.

It's a good day thrifting when you get such a quality sampling across so many genres

Went into the city with the wife for her birthday yesterday, and we stopped at a couple Goodwills! There were so many more CDs I wanted to grab, but so many treasures were scratched beyond belief. Ended up spending $25 on this stack!

My beat-up old Star Wars figures and their desert island discs, DAY #15.

The Red Guard- so cool and mysterious. Mine claims to hide a Sony Discman round back of his cloak and whenever the emperor trots off to the loo for (on average) 30 minutes, takes one of his ninety minute power naps (hey, the dark side needs re-juicing too), or just starts rambling on about the Skywalkers for an extended period of time, he pops in this underrated, deep cut bit of jazzy hip-hop from Blu & Exile.
