Good idea.
I "woke up" after 10 years of streaming servies and realized that all my favorite artists are out of print and I've just payed X amount of monies during the last 10 years to own absolutely nothing.
2020 has been my year of buying up music I grew up with. So far this year alone I have a whole shelf of CDs that I OWN and I've only payed about half of what I did to stream music I don't own for 10 years.
Unfortunatley some albums cost 140 dollars and up to 300 dollars for me to import, because they're so hard to find.
In some cases it's actually easier to find the vinyl print than the CD, in good condition or new. Makes me wanna get a record player.
- qz2 6y agoWhen my wife and myself got together approximately 20 years ago we had a combined CD collection of about 1200 CDs with a ton of overlaps. Eventually the iPod came along and we ripped them all, kept the CDs for a couple of years but eventually sold them on ebay laboriously. This was augmented with various things from mp3 sellers such as 7digital etc. Then along came Apple Music and the convenience lead to the realisation that dragging this huge chunk of data around as unnecessary. One day naively, we had a discussion and then deleted the whole collection as we hadn't touched it for about a year. In January this year, one of my favourite tracks disappeared from Apple Music, I assume to a licensing dispute. Regret is a terrible thing. I haven't worked out where to go yet but streaming services are not the answer.
