Oh man, I forgot about this thread. Nice pick ups kurr and getback

I’ve picked up at atleast 100+ cd’s since my last post, lol. I’ll shoot a pic from what I got just yesterday.

 

[6pac]

Last CD I bought might have been TI vs. TIP when I was a jit

damn

I miss the whole package that came wit CDs tho

 

[kurr]

I literally thought I was the only one who cared about their CD collection, TURBO UNO . I kinda stopped grabbing within the past several years. I feel like the last one I grabbed was Weeknd's StarBoy at Target or somewhere lol. My vinyl collection has been growing though.

 

[getback]

I know I've said it before but CD's sound so much better than Sirius, streaming, etc. Night and day

Nah man, there’s still plenty out here buying. The amount of people coming in to the thrift stores to get cd’s, albums and even tapes was eye opening to me. I’ve talked to a few and they do buy new stuff from Target/Walmart but not as much. They’re pretty much going after older music like do. I do my music shopping exclusively at thrift stores because I get cd’s for $1-2 max, that’s a great deal.

Edit: Here is yesterday’s haul, lol.

Took this last year when COVID had started and was stuck at home. Got a lot more but too lazy to look for them

 

[TURBO UNO]

All_$tar1997 , I spot some gems in there. The De La Soul and Ghetto Boys

 

[Nike Jordan]

This was the new album that I bought.

 

[MajinZuub]

What's crazy is tapes are coming back too. Got a few friends that collect them and I guess there's niche artists that release music on them still

Cassettes and vinyls are making a huge comeback. Go in a Borders or Barnes & Noble and the vinyls have basically replaced CDs entirely.

I had posted this in the Music Forum months ago, but I had went to Best Buy to get a new system out in, and while waiting I was just walking around looking cause I hadn’t been in a Best Buy in ages, and the CD section had been shrunk all the way down to maybe 12 albums, with the only rap album left being the most recent Trill Fam album

 

[getback]

All_$tar1997 Need that Xzibit At the Speed of life in the collection. Classic.

TURBO UNO Got a lot of soul heat in there

 

[JusaVibe]

One of the best intros ever into a classic album. Never forget buying this CD

Me either. December 2001 like it was yesterday.

I remember being hyped for that Mobb Deep Infamy CD too around the same time only to be let TF down big time.

I think the best era had to be the iPod Classic era. 2000’s to early 2010s. IPods still had large storage and CDs were still relatively easy to find. Best of both worlds. But this cloud **** ruined everything. Music isn’t the same anymore. I’m not just talking quality but how we listen to it. So much of it for me was spending hours at Coconuts, The Wiz, FYE, J&R, Fat Beats NY, Tower, Virgin, Other Music, Rough Trade. Most of those places are gone, even Best Buy stopped selling CDs. Now, one of the last few places selling CDs is also notorious for being the worst- Target. I have Apple Music but I don’t really like it. I can’t even remember the last CD I bought. Own hundreds (maybe a couple thousand). Several I have signed. My most prized signed album is definitely Illmatic.

I feel like they intentionally stopped selling those large storage ones cause people were keeping them far too long. I’d love to still have an iPod classic with the 160gigs

I had a 256gb Classic for a lot of years and it got to the point that 256gb wasn’t enough space for my library. I was hoping they would make a larger one but by that time was the beginning of the Cloud ****.

With Dmx having a drug overdose today
If your sill buying cds I would suggest you go to Amazon.com and buy is early albums

BTW I still buy cds
Only problem is if you buy current rap music cds on Amazon from major labels you might get a burnt cds and pay $13.99 and up

also cds and dvds for that matter are no longer made in the US

there all made cheaply in Mexico
I hate the quality

The iPod Touch has a 256 GB capacity.

 

[unkn0wn]

I had the 120gb iPod classic with a ton of music. Sold it though. I keep all of my music stored digitally in lossless, which is the same quality as CD.

I can understand why people like Vinyl though

I still got my iPod classic but haven’t had iTunes since like 2013 so that’s the last time it was updated

My ipod touch (original) still going strong
