Thought you guys would get a kick out of seeing my Dad's cd collection. He's in his mid 60s and has been collecting for quite some time. Despite the quantity of CDs, he's a very particular collector, only buying actual albums, no greatest hits, and only buying artists that he actually loves and listens to, so, yes, all of these have been played lol. I'm only saying that because a quantity like this could be full of the endless sea of Barbera Streisand, Kenny G, and other shelf warmers that plague the thrift and antique stores while searching for gold, but his collection truly is special. Full discographies of every classic rock band you could think of, save for a few rare ones that he's always on the hunt for. I don't know much about CD collecting except for what I learn from him, but there are certain ones that are quite pricey, and I always remember those for birthdays and Christmas. For example, the albums Modern Times and Nuclear Furniture by Jefferson Starship are both quite rare and expensive on CD, but are ones he's been on the hunt for for quite some time. I had picked up Nuclear Furniture for him for Father's Day, and plan on doing the same with Modern Times once his birthday rolls around. Anyway, I'm just rambling. Feel free to ask if he has anything rare from 60s-90s artists! That's mostly what he collects!

Which album has the best CD design in your opinion?

I offered to buy it earlier this year, but as it had been sitting in storage for quite some time, it needed a bit of work to bring it back up to spec.

Before selling it to me, the owner kindly arranged for it to be overhauled. The power supply has been rebuilt, and the laser pickup assembly was realigned just yesterday afternoon.

It now seems to be performing spot on and is ready for collection!

It’ll be joining the stack in picture 2 shortly.

Say what you want about the hella remasters/re-releases Crue has done over the years, love this ablum regardless.

I can't understand why there are this many people asking to rate collections. Are the people on here just buying CD's for other people to see them or do people here actually enjoy collecting music they love. I don't know when validation became so important to people. If you want to show off your collection just show it off in a post you don't need to ask other people to rate it. Everyone has different tastes, and what you may think is complete shit I may love. Please people just find satisfaction in enjoying what you like.

I've started collecting around this time last year, and it's been such a fun ride! I know it's a really small collection so far, I just felt like sharing my own music after lurking this sub for months. I've still got a loooong way to go, most of my favorite and most wanted stuff isn't here, just off the top of my head I have around 200 more albums I regularly listen to and would really love to have a physical copy of. But almost all of this stuff, I've found it second hand in shops/fairs so I find myself to be quite proud of my CDs! Been building up slowly but I only pick up music I really enjoy and listen. I also have a few Doors CDs, currently in my car so I couldn't show them here.

Due to the fact Amazon broke my damn CD case I didn't realize water got into my CD case.. Basically what happened is I had a can with barely any water in it and accidentally smacked it with my shoulder off my table, so it like SPLATTERED everywhere but like a couple hours before I knocked it off the table. So today (it's been about a week since I did that) I look and what do I see my CD is stuck to the booklet and the booklet is all stuck together. This is a friggin travesty because if you couldn't tell from my username my favorite band is Primus and this is my second favorite album from em :(

My CD collection after 5 months, mostly alt rock.

Working on this rack and re alphabetized since my last goodwill haul.

Figured it was once again time to update everyone on my growing collection🥹

The Kinks-Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround Pt.1

Next was Achtung Baby by U2 and The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan

Fixed these old Denon DN-S5000 cd players a while back. Back in 2003 they were Denon's top of the range dj decks. They have some cool features you don't see very often. Besides spinning platters which you can control like vinyl, they can actually play 2 tracks of the same cd at the same time via separate outputs (either analog or digital). You can also edit tracks so you can skip sections of songs as they play, as well as store cue points and loops. Old dj cd media players. Worth digging into. The'll never get made again.
