[Peep Game]

Not my pics **

I know gas stations probably have quite a few gems I may start actively paying attention to what they have.

[Hahahaha]

I’m a big fan of this album. I don’t understand the hate it got.

I picked this up a few weeks back but haven’t popped it in the car. Gonna do it sometime this week.

 

[ghenges]

Nope but I still have all my CDs I bought in the 90s.

I found these the other day at Folks Arts in San Diego, California

I miss the days of going to Best Buy or circuit city on Tuesday mornings to get the newest rap album release for 9.99. Something about owning the physical copy just got a different feel to it. I like getting music from Apple Music, but it’s just not the same. Thankfully, I still have all of my CD’s with the booklet in my CD book carrier with o er 300 CD’s.. Never getting rid of it. Now, that’s a sentimental value for me.

fdub yeah, I got those same memories for Best Buy, Fry’s Electronics, Circuit City and Kmart. I loved browsing the aisles for everything. Movies, CD’s and video games.

I’ve been adding to my cd collection steadily. Just picked up Janet Jackson’s 1st album for $3. I hope it’s nice.

I'll bless this thread one day. I have about 500 retail CDs and over 1000 burned CDs. I still have them in storage, just have to dig them out.

I have a lot of Texas-southern rap releases that didn't see huge distribution. A lot of stuff you can't find online either, for purchase or download.

Hope that storage unit is climate controlled.

Heat/humidity is cancer to a lot of our favorite things. Burned discs are more sensitive/susceptible to issues over time. (The dye can fade. Retail discs don't use dye)

Yea, they're in a closet in an extra bedroom. The temperature and humidity never gets too extreme. I check them every few months.

Crazy

Good while it lasted. I’m still going to keep my CD’s and DVD/Blu rays

 

[Peep Game]

I dip through Best Buy every now and then purely out of nostalgia and it was pretty unrecognizable. Hoards of phones, laptops, and iPads mostly.

 

[executive76]

Bestbuy still sells vinyl,blu rays and some cds online along with dvd/blu ray players and cd players/boomboxes.


The "newer" Best Buy locations I've seen have been a lot smaller than the original ones.

Hit up the thrift stores like I do

Yep! Or, Amazon and EBay…

 

[executive76]

CD single in 2024. Priced like an album though. So I'll take a jewel case or the cardboard sleeve

K pop bands don't play with their presentation. They have cd packages with books, posters etc

Most of us never realized that the last cd/dvd we bought would be the last one we bought.

 

[TURBO UNO]

I think I’ve added about 100 more cd’s since the last time I posted in here

 

[Walk like Denzel]

Latest pickup

I swear, the parental advisory sticker makes any album cover look dope and official

I’m starting to see more high schoolers walking into the thrift stores for CD’s. They head straight for the records of course but eventually the cd stuff. Funny to see because I’m not sure they know what they’re looking for. I know I’d be lost looking through a pile of music from the 60’s-70’s at their age.
