How many music CDs do you own, and do you still listen to them?

[NoDecision]

A few, or a lot? And how often do you listen to them?

[Calyptomaniac]

I have the same few dozen I bought 20-25 years ago, but they mostly just sit in one of those old CD cases I have had them in since then. I copied them all onto my laptop forever ago so I don't listen to the actual CD but playing them in Windows Media Player on my computer is way easier than actually playing the CD itself or picking them out on youtube

[NoDecision]

But you can't play your computer in your car.

[Calyptomaniac]

I can't play CD's in my car either

[_Jenny_]

@nodecision I know someone that copied more than that, an entire room full

[NoDecision]

They must have worn out several CD burners. 😯

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Not anymore, I ditched official and burned ones somewhere around 2010 maybe.

I didn't shift to streaming subscriptions though, because I'm not a fan of depending on internet access for music. So I download any music I really like from YT, to get files stored on my computer and phone that I can play offline

[MikeTheBartender]

I posted about this recently

Do you still keep your old CDs even if you never play them anymore?

I managed to sell 90% of what I had left for a fraction of what I paid. It wasn't really about making money. I just wanted to know they found a better home than the trash.

[DryGermanGuy]

Close to 400, I think. I still listen to them, my nice Hi-Fi system is faaar superior to any little laptop speakers.

[ohsheeT]

I probably have 200 or more some I have listened to so I have it same with movies I have 200 to 300 maybe more that I haven't even watched

[exitseven]

I probably have around a hundred. I do listen to them but not very often. I have a lot of Christmas CDs and listen to them during the holidays.

[EveryDayIsPretzelDay]

Not a single one.

No gramophone records either.

[MrChinaski]

On behalf of everyone on the site over the age of 30 ... 😠

[Iron_Man]

A few of them no I don’t if I wanna hear music I’ll just go to YouTube. or turn my radio on when I’m driving

[jamesgoldman]

Without checking 30-40 and sometimes... my dad needs to get his car stereo sorted then it'll be a lot more playtime

[MrChinaski]

400 odd. Half of them are on reasonable rotation.

[AngryCarl3]

I probably have about 300 CDs and nothing to play them on.

[AngryCarl3]

Are those all yours? I'm uspet that I can't read all the titles.

[Mike_Hum]

a lot. I don't listen to them and don't really know what to do with them

[CubaPirate]

A few hundred and no but I do listen to my vinyl collection quite often

[TonyMetal___86]

Vinyl? You mean these black big discs which were used in the 60's and early 70's? 😄

[CubaPirate]

@TonyMetal___86 yeah and 50s lol

[TonyMetal___86]

It's amazing that your vinyl player is still working 😄

[CubaPirate]

@TonyMetal___86 a bought on the 90s but you can still buy them in the UK becaude vinyl is making a revival here with new albums etc being released on that format

[TonyMetal___86]

👍🏻👍🏻

[NathanDavis]

now my niece... owns our music collection

[TonyMetal___86]

A lot and i stopped listening to them...

[TonyMetal___86]

Not only CD's but a lot of cassettes snd vhs tapes too, i hope that you know what these are, since you're only 26 😄

[NoDecision]

They don't make VHS players anymore. Cassette players are about the same. But my car has a CD - mp3 player in it.

[TonyMetal___86]

Yep there are no vhs and tape players anymore, i still have them and it's nice to have a cd-mp3 player in your car hehe

These days it's usually a flash memory or blutooth connection...

[NoDecision]

Don't they take up a lkot of room? Maybe donate them to a thrift shop?

[TonyMetal___86]

Well i have them all gathered in one place, never thought what i'm going to do with them 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Bklynbadboy12]

I dont own any Cd's thats old tech

[NoDecision]

But if you have an older car, and unless you have replaced the radio, it won't have a USB port for having music on a small thumb drive.

[AgentG111]

I would say I still have like 30.
