Defects in brand new Verbatim blanks

Any idea what causes this, or if it should be reported to the company? This stack was shipped to me yesterday and I opened it today to burn some music and noticed these defects on multiple disks in the stack.

Began collecting CDs in May last year

Back in high school I only bought a handful of CDs here and there. It was never really my main hobby and my collection was pretty inconsistent throughout the years

Some are brand new, some are thrifted, and some have actually been with me since 2016 😄🤍

Why do people digitalize CDs when streaming apps exist?

Pretty much what the title is. I am digitalizing my family's movies and I know a ton of them aren't on streaming services but we also have a ton of CDs. Is it worth it to digitalize them? We have a family youtube plan so its not like we get ads on yt music anyways. Sorry I am not into music at all so this is probably a dumb question. A bunch of the CDs that we have in storage are probably from when my mom was younger in like the 90s or 2000s.

Total beginner to all kinds of repair, baffled by this CD player (SHARP CD-PC651)

These discs all work perfectly beginning to end on a boombox I have, so the problem is entirely the player here

You can see in the video it starts by failing to read all 3 discs, then it... tries? To read some?

After I finished recording, I tried again and disc 2 started to play flawlessly, I got excited... only for it to exhibit this exact same behaviour again on restart

Does anyone know where to even begin troubleshooting this

Brand new CD player won’t play brand new discs

Everything‘s brand new, and I have tried multiple other discs. It just spins for a while and then says no CD. Nothing is blocking the laser, and it’s fully pushed down
Solved I think? I got one cd to work and I think it jump started it or something and now a few more work?? I ain’t complaining

Looking for CD store recommendations

I’m looking for some good online stores to buy CDs from for my collection. I was planning to order from Rarewaves, but I’ve seen quite a few people saying they’ve had bad experiences with them, so now I’m looking for alternatives.

I’m mainly looking for stores that ship worldwide, have good/cheap prices, have a big selection of CDs (especially older albums), sell new CDs (not used), and are reliable with decent shipping.

What stores do you recommend?

Collection

I’ve been collecting CDs for 2-3 years and tapes more recently. I was hesitant to post because it’s not a huge collection but I’ve seen people posting here just starting, so…
I really like the upper shelf because there’s a lot of items I cherish, important to me.

I also have a lot of posters and flyers from gigs I went to, but I’m not hanging them on my walls because I’m waiting to move in a new apartment.
Also some shirts, stickers and goodies…

Slowdive - Live Recording Vol. 1

Sharing with you guys this CD-R that somebody made for me on Slowdive live recordings.
In the 90’s, music fans would have these
CD-RS in their collection.
Napster/Torrents came along and these
CD-Rs would go into the rubbish bin. 😢
I still keep this as I love the songs very much.
Anybody still keeps CD-Rs of Slowdive ?

CD burning

What could the problem be when I try to burn a cdr with a Philips CDR 765, but it wont even start trying because of "no audio". When playing discs normally, there is definitely audio, so why does it not recognize that when it's meant to burn? The same thing happens when trying to burn from an external analog source (3.5mm aux)

Walmart must’ve been cleaning the warehouse…

Very surprised to find this at my local Walmart, they put new barcode stickers on top of the old yellowed ones

Help playing cds

So I found this in my grandmas house and when I went to see if it would play some cds, I’ve got nothing. It opens fine, seems to accept the cds but otherwise that’s it. It won’t play them or switch out of dvd mode ig. If anyone knows anything about it I would love to hear it

All of the CDs in my collection that are not jewel cases

All of the CDs I have that are in paperboard sleeves/cases instead of jewel. I hate how fragile they are, but I do love the weathered look they get to them after 10-20 years.
