Who still has a collection of CDs? Anyone still have cassettes?

[Daniela1982]

I still have CDs, but most are ones I burned myself of my fav songs from other factory CDs. But in my car, it has a USB system that I play my music from. That or I listen to Sirius XM Radio.

[WindAtMyBack]

I still have and play a lot of CDs. It's been a number of years since I bought them though. I get them from the library so I have an almost unlimited supply. It costs nothing to explore new music. If it sucks, it's no loss. I don't know how many the library has, but it's many thousands. Plus I can have them sent to my local library from any library in the state. So I can find just about anything.

Unfortunately the CD multi-disc changer on my stereo broke. I have a temporary one-CD player hooked to it for now, but I like to load up multiple CDs.

As for cassettes, I think I have 3-4 that somehow managed to survive since the 70s. They were good for playing in the car. I never did have a lot of them though. I thought they were really unreliable. That was just a bad type of media for music.

[Daniela1982]

The problem being that, just like old VHS tapes, they got eaten by failing players.

[Dargil]

Dozens of CD's. A few tapes. No 8-tracks. HUNDREDS of LPs. Many classics.

[Daniela1982]

What do you play your LPs on?

[Dargil]

I have a 90,'s oakwood cabinet retro Crosley LP, CD, Cassette player combination. I used the headphone jack to pipe it through my sound system. A little tinny compared to my Grandad's 60's Mahogany cabinet Magnavox tube type "stereo" with (guessing) 16" speakers, but it will do. If I were a geek, I'd fiddle with preamps and upgrade the speakers on the Crowley.

CD collections are like nostalgic treasures, each holding memories of past musical journeys 🎶. I still have some CDs and even a few cassettes that remind me of simpler times. While technology has changed the way we listen to music, having these physical copies feels special. It's like holding onto a tangible piece of history that digital media can't quite replace. Enjoy those musical gems, whether they’re played from USB or a disc! 🎧

[sage2021]

I have two drawers full of CD's and I just bought a portable CD player and headphones 🎧

Now I know one reason why you and I hit it off together and that's because music 🎶🎼 is such a big part of our lives.

I had a pretty big vinyl album record collection that I had been collecting since 1964 - when they stopped making them. I also had more than 100 45's too.

But t sadly back in 2015 tragedy hit my family and my stuff and I lost everything I owned and I mean everything!! Including my apartment.
So there went my record collection too!

When I got back on my feet again in 2016 I started buying CD's. That's fine with me because I have a very nice collection of my favorite songs and music.

[Daniela1982]

They still made 45's until the early 2000s. I have Britney Spears on a 45 as well as some others. But, I got rid of my 45 collection, and the few albums I had because they take too much time to play and change out. A lot of my early CDs I made were from 45s.

[Massageman]

Not as many as in the picture, but we still have a decent assortment.

In my massage studio, if my massage clients bring a CD, I still have my CD/cassette tape player/boom box in there. I also have Spotify and some of my own relaxation CD's, so we're covered.

[Nikki1989]

We have too many to count but well over 15,000. We also have over 10,000 records. Not many cassettes, though.

[Daniela1982]

Question is, what do you play them on? When I used to play my 45's I had a Voice of Music record changer. But it finally stopped working. It is just faster to listen to them put on a CD now.

[llorando]

I still have a CD collection, I prefer physical media as it's mine to keep and listen to anytime I want to without fear of it being removed due to licenses not being renewed. I also prefer CDs as they provide a audio quality that streaming/download audio just don't matched. I have all my CDs copied to high bitrarte OGG so I can listen to music on my phone.

I don't have any cassettes, but I do have some vinyl LPs.

[Jerre]

I still have Cassettes and CDs, but nowhere near the above picture. Perhaps 150 total. Probably shud get rid of them as I transferred all the music to my PC. I have over 9000 songs on my PC.

[Daniela1982]

Hope you have a backup as a PC can fail at any time. It happened to me when my hard drive crashed through the floor.

[Jerre]

@daniela1982 Thank you for the Like

[Jerre]

@daniela1982 yes I have them backed up on an attached back up drive as well as an external USB back up drive

[emeraldsaphire]

I never really got into CDs. When i was really little i had some CDs and tapes, but when I was old enough to really appreciate music I got an Ipod lol

[exitseven]

My CD player has died. I wanted to use it yesterday to play Christmas music. My cassette player was dead too. I ended up streaming music from my laptop from my wife's Sirius account. I have CDs , Cassettes and s pile of record albums.

[DryGermanGuy]

Cassettes, CDs, DVDs and VHSs. The CDs and DVDs I still use often. My parents still have their vinyls collection.

[dudeinohio]

I have cassettes somewhere; but nothing to play them on.

[Daniela1982]

They went the way of the VHS tape players. No one makes them anymore. You have to buy one used somewhere.

[Circushowcowboy]

I still have a case of them in my car. I usually just listen to the radio on a day to day basis but if I’m going a long trip I’ll break out the cds

[FunkyMonkee]

A few thousand, most, that I burned or recorded myself from my own record collection. I've got about 62,000 of those, including albums, 33's and 78's. I still have at least 1000 cassettes, mostly that I record myself.

[Anonymous]

I have both CDs and cassettes, as well as LPs (Gramophone or vinyl records).

[Daniela1982]

Gramaphone? Now those are really old, before 4 and 8 track.

[Opinion Owner]

Indeed, about 40 years old.

[LiamJHayden]

Yes. That is the minimum quality I can listen to for any length of time without getting a headache.

[NathanDavis]

yes, to both... they're somewhere up there...

[FreyaRed]

I have few Audio CD but I have no CD player since new desktop and laptops are sold without DVD-ROM

[Lynx122]

Nah I got rid of cds and dvds when they became useless.

[Daniela1982]

They are not totally useless. And they don't have commercials on them like on cable TV.

[Lynx122]

I can stream movies online whenever I want to. I don't watch TV. I don't need DVDs

[Nerdvana]

I have a few CD's, but a ton of cassettes and a bunch of ablums.

[electromagnetic]

not me. Pretty sure my grandparents still have old vinyls somewhere in their home.

[mrkdvsn]

CD's, cassettes, and LP vinal records. My cassette collection used to be much larger

[Jamie05rhs]

I had a few tapes when I was a little kid. They were from a company called Wee Sing.

[Daniela1982]

Wee Sing or Bee Sting? 🤔

[Jamie05rhs]

Wee Sing. lol

[YourExLover69]

I do have lot of CDs, DVDs especially of video games, OS systems, audio songs, softwares.

[zagor]

I have a bunch but they mostly sit on shelves.

[Likes2drive]

I have a lot of CDs and cassettes

[Daniela1982]

They don't make cassette players anymore. Some cassettes recorded on high grade tapes sound better than CDs.

[Likes2drive]

I still have a portable one and a dual cassette deck

[seeyounexttuesday]

I still have CDs - mostly because I can't stand the thought of only getting $.50 for each of them.

[Surely]

I still have CD’s and even a few vinyls!

[dinojames22]

Not anymore but I still have the old ones.

[Awantika03]

I have both
