r/CDs

What would you swap out?

I was bored today, so l decided to go through my dad's old cd/lp collection and found origin by evanescence. My dad wad born 1969 so l was suprised to see it, since he mostly had rock/metal from the 70s/80s.

i have recently started building my physical media collection. mostly CDs and DVDs for now. i have an at home CD player that i use, but i’ve considered getting a portable CD player to throw in my purse while i am out. my only concern is the accessibility of it. i’m afraid i’ll tear out/ break my headphones as i walk, or ill bang up my CDs + CD player while moving around. is there any specific bag that works well for this sort of thing? has anyone had similar issues? i’m not sure the best way to keep it safe while transporting. i’ve admittedly always been a little rough on my bags. pic for visibility. thanks!

All this at a Half Price Books yesterday

I started to listen to Enya back in 2006. I was a huge fan, but one day I decided I didn't want to listen to her anymore. It was just that the connection one feels with music, was gone. I felt her work was too much gloomy, sad... not my thing. So i gave all my cds away: i gave them to my English teacher, who admired Enya so much; i thought she was gonna enjoy them more than me. I bet she did really loved the cds and cherished them very much. Sadly, my teacher passed away last year; it was hard because we had become friends and shared lots of music; of course i thought a lot about her when i learnt the terrible news: we hadn't met for years and didn't have the chance to say goodbye.
Last year I went back to Enya's music and wanted to get all the cds again. I know my teacher took care of the one i gave them, and i can't help it but wonder if they were given away again or if her nieces and sister got all of her stuff. Anyways, last december my quest for all of enya's albums started and look how far I've come.

Thrifted the other day and thought it was cool

​

i was born in the 80s and grew up in the 90s and 2000s..

i used to have a way bigger collection.. when i move out of my parents house, i gave more than half of my collection to my younger brothers.. and these are the ones i kept. nowadays i only buy cds from local and underground bands.. its a good way of supporting new bands. 🤘

i'm from Portugal, so there are a few local portuguese bands cds in there.

hope you enjoy. 🤘

So I was walking on a treadmill, then I noticed my foot was covered in tomato sauce. So I checked under it, and saw my CDR that I had millions of songs downloaded...it has a few scratches, but will it still work?

I have found my people

Noticed a record shop I haven't browsed before in my old town, dropped in while the extended family annoyed the barista at the 'cool' coffee shop.

Nothing mind-blowing, just a bunch of reissued discs I have owned before and which at any given moment may have been on MTV in the early to mid-90's

The cases/ liners/ discs are all immaculate so I won't worry about $5/pop and we should all be supporting the cool local stores we have anyways.

Then the older nieces wanted to go to Hot Topic and I regailed them with my own experience of buying band merch at the mall...they weren't impressed

[supprimé]

does this make me a savage? im a monster, arent i?

*i got MOS:TA going all the way back to '99, btw. its my christmas present to myself every year*

I found this on eBay and it looks really cool, but I don't know if it is really worth it or how rare it really is, does anyone know any information on this album?

I found this at a thrift store for $5 dollars and the lady said she is not even sure if it works. I took it anyways because it was cheap and maybe I could fix it.

Surely enough it does not work. The blue light turns on but no text appears, and the buttons do not do anything. I thought it looks pretty cool so I want to fix it.

I looked it up and I can not find a single video on this cd player. So I do not know where to even begin on a repair. Should I even attempt to fix it or cut my loss and throw it away?
