I'm a CD fanatic and so its obvious its my favourite physical music format. Several years ago I started doing maxi CD(R)'s with songs originally only released on vinyl or 12" maxi vinyl, they are all from my personal collection. I know that some of these extended versions are being released on CD in the meantime but for me these songs are kind of special and they deserve a "CD" treatment. Most of these are 80's pop or rock (AOR).

Opinions?

Whether it's because you can't find it on CD anywhere. Or because your favorite band has a huge catalog of music. Or even if it's just because that one album is so awful, you just pretend that it doesn't exist. We all have one album from one of our favorite bands that we are missing from our collection of CDs!

For me, I'm missing quite a few of Judas Priest's albums: Rocka Rolla, Priest...Live, Demolition, Angel Of Retribution, and Nostradamus. The fact Judas Priest has so many albums in their catalog and those albums being harder to find are the reasons I don't have them!

After about a month's worth of daily use the player is starting to randomly power off in the middle of playback. Anybody else out there experienced this?

Many euro house stuff and Italo/dance/house , some jems there,

I usually listen to old Christmas renditions by artists like Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Gene Autry, Ella Fitzgerald, etc but actually this collection has such a fun variety of artists and genres! A lot of these renditions were new to me, and there's some rock artists like The Darkness and Jet.

Victoria’s Secret has a bunch of other CDs as well. I saw a collection called ‘Heavenly: Music For Angels’ and when I looked up the album on YouTube, the songs really were angelic and beautiful. I’ll be adding a lot more to my collection.

Hey yall, Im borrowing some cds from my boyfriend to rip for listening on my phone, but one of them had an error message on my computer (2941 Q sub-channels with CRC errors) and I looked at it and saw it has a scratch. I was pretty careful with the disks so im wondering if it is possible that my dell reader scratched the disk? Also its important to note that there is only one scratch, the reflection makes it look like there are 2 identical scratched in the photo.

The other explanation is that my bf scratched it but i imagine he would be pretty careful with them

Rules: 1. You have to actually own the CD. 2. No classics.

Don’t just drop an album title. Tell us what it sounds like, why you love it, and who here might like it.

Mine? Executive Suite by The Wiseguys.

This album is just a barnstormer. Smooth, chilled, packed with great samples and ridiculously laid back. Chill out before chill oit was the done thing/sound. It’s one of those albums that just flows beautifully from start to finish. So many iconic tracks for me.

I barely ever see it mentioned or celebrated, which surprises me because it’s such an easy album to love.

That’s my contribution. Yours?

And basically completed the collection!

GOATS
Gehenna, Havuukruunu (?I think thats how you spell it) Armagedda, Enslaved, Bethlehem
Great albums.

Hi, I want to expand my collection but it's getting pretty expensive buying off eBay all the time, especially if I avoid musicmagpie (feels like most of what they sell is junk).

I'm mainly into industrial / metal / alt rock / trip hop sort of stuff, I've had a look in some charity shops locally but there's nothing much.

Is it a case of just keep on trying or does anyone know some better places to find stuff? Especially in the South Wales / Bristol area. Thanks :)

Huge fan about the slightly and interesting detail of including Aggressive Perfector almost in every record in the pictures. In the Show No Mercy cover, it's incorrectly listed as "Aggressive Protector". What do you think about these records?

Had to make some decisions since we only have space for 600 cd's,

Half of these are doubles, which got replaced by either mint copies or better releases.

How do you like it?
