This week's new additions.

A bunch of house-music, some ambient-trance, two Duran Duran-albums and an Offspring-album. What are your favorites?

Cheers.

All my CDs I have collected from 2024-2026

My mom had the Slipknot and Hemlock one. I collected and got the rest besides the Korn on it was from my grandpa. The Garage Inc. Album was in a LB CD. I only have one burn CD and it's the Cannibal Corpse one.

Extremely Rare Soundtrack CD

I'm not sure if this fits on this subreddit, but it's CD-related, and I think that's good enough. In the end credits of the obscure 2002 Christmas special Rapsittie Street Kids Believe In Santa, a soundtrack CD for the special is advertised. I have become quite fascinated with learning all I can about this thing, mostly because I have a deep ironic love of the special. However, it is goddamn impossible to find ANY information on this thing (I wonder why), and I couldn't so much as find a real picture of the thing anywhere (save for a few scans of its artwork on the Internet Archive). I am fairly certain physical copies do exist, though. I was wondering if anyone here, with your vast collections and presumably knowledge of CDs, had any information on this thing. This could be anything from someone who may own one today, places I could look for one, or a picture of one. Maybe one of you even owns it deep in an attic somewhere. To be clear, this is about finding and documenting a surviving physical copy of one, not the audio on it, as that is already uploaded on the Internet Archive (as mentioned previously). Speaking of which, that is really the only source of information on it, as it has an image of just the cover art for the album, which may help. I would appreciate any and all help/info on this, thanks!

Started to collect again!

Trying to get my old collection back, maybe an improved collection but what I do know is I enjoy this more than streaming. Just having the physical disc, the artwork, the quality of audio. We really did go backwards.

Starting with this CD, an underrated masterpiece!

CD Burning

Idk if im in the right place but Ive been trying to burn some cds but while experimenting with my test one I've found it just doesnt wanna burn. Im pretty sure it has to do with the drive im using (vlio external drive) as everything else seems to be in order. Im using windows 7 and cd-r discs but it just keeps processing, spinning and whirring like its doing something only to just give me a pop up saying that something went wrong and nothing ever burns onto the discs. If anyone has any recommendations for good external drives for burning discs or maybe some kinda problem im completely overlooking thatd be cool

What's The General Consensus of Greatest Hits Albums or Compilation Albums?

Just curious what is this communities opinion is of Greatest Hits Albums and compilation albums?

I recently bought a 300 disc cd changer off of Facebook and have been loading it up with all my old CDs I've kept in a closet for the past 20 years. I'm a little annoyed at my younger self at the number of greatest hit albums I had acquired, because with a lot of them the tracks are just duplicates of the ones on the albums I also own.
I kind of get how when loading a single CD into a car stereo you'd might want just the radio singles and not the b sides, but when loading them all into one CD changer ir digitizing it on my computer or iPod I just don't nee those duplicate tracks.

As for compilation albums the problem isn't as much with overlap of the same track on the album (although that can still happen) but more I'm not sure how to categorize them.

(oh and don't get me started with all my random burned CD mix tapes. I literally have four burned CD just labeled 2, 3, 4 & 5, not sure what happened to 1 and I haven't got around to seeing what's on them but it makes me want to buy a DeLorean, steal some uranium from Libyan Terrorists and go back in time to slap my younger self)

My collection almost 11 years in!

I started collecting when I was 14! For the first couple years, I would go to hmv and take advantage of their 2/$20 or 3/$15 deals, maybe pick up new releases. I loved checking their inventory online and figuring out which location would make the most sense for me to visit based on what I wanted and what was there. Eventually, I figured out I could get used stuff for way cheaper, got some really awesome deals on Kijiji/FB Marketplace, started checking the CD section every time I went to a thrift store, and would go hunting at my local record shops. Some years have been more bountiful than others. I just love everything about collecting CDs, except for when I run out of money and shelf space lol

Anyways... What albums/bands do you think I should keep an eye out for based on what I have already? Do I have any of your favourite albums?

(last pic is all of my sleeves and some DIY stuff I've picked up from local or touring artists)
