Hello fellow CD collectors!

I was hoping to make a megathread for the community containing a bunch of useful CD information and links. If you have any links of info regarding CDs, where to buy them, how to listen to, burn, rip and look after them, or even just general tips that could be thrown in then please let me know :D

There used to be CD stores and every major outlet had some assortment of CDs. Then they all went online and you could order CDs from all sorts of quant and off colour websites. But that's all gone now, or have escaped me. How do people get there CDs today?

Do they even still make them? It's those thicker double CD jewel cases used exclusively in Japan. I live in the United States and I can find any available anywhere online. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Getting ready for the new week, gotta reset those vibes before monday!

Do we count minidisc? Seems like it would, it is just a very small CD after all :D

This one I don't have a player for, so it's a pure collectible. Came with the high res audio though, so all good.

The Clash truly understand "boxed sets". This one contains every single, packaged just like their 45s. I'm absolutely here for this sort of thing... I have a couple collections like this :D

I also love that the box can serve as a 'crate' for you to browse through.

Dropkick Murphys got kicked out of Xitter for standing up against Trump and Musk, and that's the kind of energy I need today.

I feel like I might be posting too much on this sub, but I just had to tell someone :D

Today I finally got Sector 3, the final piece I was missing for my collection of the Rush Sector remastered set.

Collection spread out, showing how each remastered CD has the individual art and individual record-style sleeves, not counting the accessory DVDs for the concerts in bookfolds and the book itself full of photos, info, etc

My wife gifted me with a quite a fun and eclectic CD haul!

Some of these I had only in digital form, so it was lovely to get the physical to go with it.

My 5 disc changer is having fits, so while it's awaiting my weekend repair I thought I'd bring up a fun topic - What's your favorite mix CD?

My wife and I make these every year or two, and they're often what rides in the car as a backup for when our DAP fails.

Powerwolf's "Monumental Mass" collector's edition is nuts, there's 2 disks (BluRay + DVD) and it's excellent to toss on the computer and just immerse into. Technically this version isn't a CD, but I have that one too (and the vinyl...) :D

Bought this used over the weekend because I have a whole pile of the Compact Jazz collection, and I've loved most of it. Looking forward to this one.

From Mad With Power fest 2024, which is a cool metal event

Great album, and such an interesting cover. Personally, I think part of the love I have for this album was the hours spent playing Quake/Quake 2 with this as the backing. The interior has a nice continuation of the exterior aesthetic, IMO.

Interior of Downward Spiral with booklet overlaid, showing the teeth and scratches

For me, one of my more unusual is this Android Lust collection
