The CD Thread: Still Listen On Disc, Don't Stream

[E.H. Ruddock]

Went to Book Off in Manhattan yesterday. Their used CD offering was massive. Couldn't stay and browse too long because I had to shit, but picked up some good opera cds and a Paul Simon and REM cd, all for $1.50 or less.

Ruddo is fighting having to take a shit and stops to shop for $1 opera CDs. The man is an enigma.

It is hard to shit in Manhattan. I had to walk like six blocks back to the apartment to drop my dump. I didn't feel like heading back to the store, but wanted to make sure I took advantage of their prices!

I ordered some Benny Goodman CD's from Discogs this week

Planning on hitting 3 or 4 stores this weekend for some used discs.

I have two suggestions for you next time you head to my end of the state.

McKay’s is legit. I frequent the ones in Nashville and Knoxville often. Haven’t been to with it the Carolina ones or the Chattanooga one yet.

The Mebane one is gorgeous. I just relocated to a new build building from Greensboro about 6 months ago.

Ruddo, if you're going, text me.

Fond memories from the CD era

-The satisfaction that came with neatly removing that taped seal across the top of fresh purchase.
-Replacing a matte black CD tray with a clear one so you could add some DIY art to your jewel case.
-Learning the existence of bands only through their alphabetized names near the band you were looking for*.

*To this day, I only know Nitzer Ebb because I'd rifled through all the Nirvana CDs in section M-N-O.

How did you guys feel about digipaks? Better than jewel cases?

How did you guys feel about digipaks? Better than jewel cases?

Yes and no. The glue would usually break down that held the disc part and it would separate if I kept them in the car. Which I did. The booklet even separated in my Vitalogy copy.

This happened to me a few times, but I don't think as often as I managed to snap off the little connecting plastic hinge bit on the corner of the jewel case

Yeah, that was a pain, too. I think the digipaks made for nicer packaging.

Made no difference to me unless I had to replace a top on a jewel case as you note above, though that wasn't very often at all from what I remember.

By the time I got my car I was already ripping CDs so I never took an actual packaged disc in the car, ripped a copy and put it in a binder.

One of my local stores yesterday had a bunch of new cd stock in. Someone sold them a bunch of Will Oldham/BPB cds so i came home with five of them

I really think CDs are having a little resurgence

Apparently, they're inflation proof.

Headed to McKay’s right now.
