Who /CDs/ here? I must have at least 3000.
I buy them occasionally. I think I have around 30. I'd get more if I could find stuff I wanted in stores but most stuff I want I have to order on Amazon or something and don't like having to wait.

I don't mind the wait, it gives me something to look forward to. It is a shame stores don't carry what we're interested in though. I look for stuff from collector-oriented labels like Bear Family and Ace Records.

CDs are pretty great. I've been going back to CDs lately, because vinyl is too expensive and I was running out of room for records (plus being able to easily rip the audio is nice). I'm running out of room for CDs now though, so I dunno. I currently have around 300, plus a big box of shitty CDs I have from my teenage years.

I often burn CDs and sometimes buy them because my car has neither a tape deck/aux nor Bluetooth, so the only way to listen to music is through the CD player. It takes up a lot of space and I really should just buy a replacement sound system one of these days, but overall it doesn't bother me too much
cds are pretty unnecessary

you're pretty unnecessary
Cds are less useful than vinyl

I got sum CD's. I started collecting very very recently though. I think my total is around 50 now, Amazon has a good selection for disgustingly cheap
>the music industry is so dead that CD's sell for extremely low prices
It's a mixed feel
I have a small collection of around 40 CDs, it's pretty pleb cause I haven't bought anything online or at a legitimate record store yet
I started a few months ago
I buy all formats. I don't discriminate.
>>63761603
horrible collection
>there are people deluded enough to think that cds are a reasonable alternative to digital
>there are people who have internet access purchasing second hand discs that give nothing to the artist
>there are people defending this logic
Here's my collection. Please note that I started this years ago when my taste was basic and I was a kid.
>inb4 taste still basic

>that bill evans box-set

About 30-40% of the music I've bought online has had problems, tracks not downloading, missing artwork, broken tracks (cutting off in the middle). CD's are a pain to deal with in terms of storage, but once you rip them onto your computer you're golden, and then you can resell them once more, removing the need for storage as well. Very few CD's (even one's ive bought at flea markets that dont play without skipping in my car) have ever failed to rip into skip free tracks for me.

I have around 1000 CDs. Storing them is quite difficult. It's easy to find shelves for vinyl records, but I've never seen anything good for CDs. My favourite CDs are in drawers like this one. The rest are in a pile, out of sight in a closet.
>>63760143
Got around 400 right now
200 of them are classical

You can get purpose-built CD racks.
vinyl albums start at about $20; CDs are undervalued. tons of people are shelling out for new pressings of "Kind of Blue" and "Dark Side of the Moon" before they've even listened to 50 albums yet.
my taste is still changing quickly, so why would I spend more on fewer albums, when I can own more music for less?
some albums were only available to buy on CD, some music was packaged best during the CD era, and some older music (20s-60s) were only given a proper release on CD.
buying something alters my relationship with an album - some I get disappointed by, while others I end up liking more, and it's hard to predict which will be which
holding 10-20 albums in my hands and looking at the spines of what I consider my core collection is useful for refining my taste - deciding what I consider the strongest music I own, so I can figure out what genres to pursue further
some amazing music isn't available online (download or streaming - legal or illicit), and never got reissued on CD. only this makes me buy vinyl. maybe if I become a die-hard audiophile I'll learn the difference, and come to prefer it, but not now.
