I can understand buying vinyls for their collectability, but CD's? Are you mentally challenged or something?

How big is your CD/Vinyl collection, and where do you usually get your music from? Been scouring a lot of Goodwill-type stores and flea markets lately.

I have around 7-800 cd's and you can all suck one if you don't like it. I grew up during the era of compact discs and will be damned if I start all over or change what I like based on arbitrary bullshit like some ass-scratching, hand-sniffing uberfags on 4chan.

>>74671442
Just broke 200 records. Started collecting about a year and half ago.
There's a couple of decent local new/used record shops. The thrift and 2nd hand stores around here have been picked clean of anything worthwhile. However, if you're into country and gospel.......

>>74671011
can rip to lossless, play in car, etc. not as ephemeral as streaming - not sure if you're joking tho

Okay but can you buy Meeting of the Waters EP in CD???? I don't think so

>>74671011

I started to become a music enthusiast in the 90s when vinyl was at an all time low and buying cds was the only way to listening to stuff. Then I continued to this day.
It's cool to have a physical copy of the albums you like. CDs usually have a good sound quality, are more convenient to use than vinyl and they're a lot cheaper.

>>74671442
I think I have something like 340 CDs, mostly bought from thrift shops and the like

>>74671442

Way more than I should. I really enjoy hunting for stuff, and have found some weirdly good thrift finds but I also shop at regular music stores.

It's also a great way to find music.

>>74671011
vinyl is for collecting
cd is for listening

>>74672734
Vinyl is for listening while chilling in the living room
CD is for ripping to FLAC on the PC then forget it on your shelf

I have more than 7000 CDs, bought over the last 20+ years.

New: Amazon or Amazon marketplace
Used: Discogs

This is today's haul. Biggest score was Citizen King's Brown Bag LP which is worth about $25 in the shape it's in.

>>74671442
I have about 60 CDs, 40 records, and 15 cassettes. I like going to thrift stores because I can pick stuff out based on the album cover and not worry about loosing too much money, plus i've found tons of obscure albums there that weren't even on discogs.

Collecting cassettes in 2017, that's something I can't really comprehend. I grew up in the 80s and boy, what a shitty format. At least albums on vinyl have the big artwork.

>>74673012
Cassettes are still cheap (for now) and more interesting than CDs. It's only shitty for people who only played them on shitty systems (car players, cheap walkmans). They mostly shine on tape decks

>>74673012

Not the person you're replying to, but at least for me I grab the cassettes of small bandcamp artists I like. It's cool cause it's physical and you're helping out some guy in his room.

>>74670372
Fucking awful taste OP, pls neck urself

>>74670372

What's top right up there?

>>74673012
Guy you replied to here. I like em because they're cost effective. I mostly look for albums that seem obscure or albums with interesting covers and rip em to my PC. After that I hardly ever listen to them (on cassette) again, that's why they're my smallest collection.

It makes sense for k7-only releases.
But I guess millennials dig cassettes for the novelty factor only.
At this point, why not make 8-track tapes cool again?

What was so wrong with the 8-track? I had one growing up as a kid and it was fine.

>>74673230

A few years ago even Locrian released a ultra-limited edition of 13 copies on 8-track of one of their albums.

>>74673318

Everyone in this thread has great taste

Just bought two Coheed and Cambria CDs. Their second and third albums. I saw them live in like 2011, even though I only knew Welcome Home. I didn't get into them until recently when I started wearing the shirt I got at the show and started feeling like a poseur.

I've got, like, a plastic milk crate full of them (pic related). I live in the sticks, though, and don't really have access to any local record stores. Most of my purchases are from Amazon (recently got Heaven And Las Vegas for $12 on there, that was fucking cool) but occasionally if I can get out to the city that's an hour away I stop into the two record stores that are there. One is an independent local place, really good selection of stuff I hadn't heard of before (including Dinosaur Jr., a band I hadn't heard about until then), and the other is a Books-A-Million that had The Wall for $20 one day.

Are there people actually willing to pay 50.00+ USD for vinyl? I have a few classical Japanese vinyls from the 70s I've purchased from online auctions. Most of them were sold without the owner knowing what they where. I looked them up on discogs and they have people selling them from 50-80.00 USD. Also some of these are made on red transparent vinyl.

Also whats the best way to rip vinyl to digital?

>>74675560

Selling niche stuff on Discogs is a game of patience, mostly. I mostly do CDs but normally you can find that one person if you have the patience to wait.

However, those people who pay 50 bucks for a single LP or CD are normally super picky.

>>74671067
good finds tho

>>74673012
theyre really cheap and many underground releases only come in cassette

>>74673565

Are those the new Klaus Schulze reissues on MIG records? I bought X and Timewind a few months ago.
