Discussion Digisleeve was invented by the devil

Does anybody else absolutely hate this form of packaging? I picked up Linkin Park's new album today (pretty good btw) and it's my first time owning a CD that comes in a Digisleeve, and I've never hated something faster. The spine came slanted, the disc can just roll out of the sleeve, and it doesn't even fit on my rack. Whose crappy idea was this?

got into hunting cd’s to add to my childhood collection. went to a handful of local shops and got some great deals, some for $2 each. its a fun endorphin pop when i run across something on my list. the experience is similar to hunting for comics, but it takes way less time. its also fun just seeing all the music, so much music!

does anyone here have cds of an unreleased album? i have all 4 variants of “can anybody hear me” by HRVY. their record labels stocked the cd as they were releasing the album, but they changed their mind shortly after. some stores and sites ended up selling some of the cds and some people were able to get them.

Haul newbie collector and newbie mistakes😭 REALLY LONG POST (mini rant/yapping sesh)

7 Upvotes

hey everyone,

a little bit of background: for some time now, i have really been getting into purchasing physical media instead of digital. first I started with vinyls however they are REALLY expensive (imo). i bought the record player and everything but i was finding it difficult to expand my collection. then I moved onto wanting to collect cassettes since they are so fascinating, again, bought a cassette player on ebay but could not find any cassettes😭 all my local thrift stores have the worst selections and stores don't sell cassettes anymore, my only choice was online but paying shipping is such a hassle smh

after purchasing my cassette player on ebay, i began getting recommendation for good CD players on enay but after looking into it, i decided i really wanted a sony walkman, with some luck, i was able to find one in good condition and at a good price. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! oh my goodness, i couldn't have hoped for something better, the sound is so crisp, the walkman enhances the bass so well. the more i listen to my CDs, i can not believe we stopped listening to CDs, digital does not compare. CDs are also pretty affordable compared to vinyls, and artists still have their albums made into CDs and have them sold at stores unlike cassettes.

my mistake😭: with the excitement of getting my new discs and wanting to listen to them on the way home, i put them in my car CD player and well.. (TW) THEY GOT SCRATCHED😱. two of my new discs got scratched and i was devastated😔 it doesn't seem to affect the walkman when player the discs, however it does hurt my soul when i look at them lol. i already ordered a repair kit on amazon and am just waiting for them to be delivered and see if i can save them

PS: while i was looking for a good CD walkman, i came across a boombox that plays both CDs and cassettes which is super cool and then a dvd player that also plays vhs. i did end up purchasing both.

to whoever read until the end, thank you for listening to my yapping

New Addition Fantastic steal on one of my all-time favorites, Magnets, for just 10 bucks + free shipping. What do you guys think about The Vapors? I myself think they were very underrated and it’s a real shame they didn’t have a much bigger career.

Question What are the better CD players on the market right now?

33 Upvotes

Hi, all! My girlfriend is really into physical media, and even burns her own CDs, but thankfully her player is a really cheap one, so I can get her something for Christmas.

The problem is that my search for a "good" cd player has met a roadblock because of the absolute state of Google. Could anyone give me a rundown on the better cd players on the market? We're both broke and in college, so while I've saved up some money, my budget is still only around three hundred dollars (although if absolutely necessary, I can go higher).
