I grew up watching DVDs so I have a nostalgic connection with these plastics discs. I started collecting because of the realisation that streaming platforms SUCK. I do not want to pay a subscription to listen to the only 10 songs I like to play, and I definitely do not want to give away my data for ads. Also, music discovery is now homogenised because of the algorithm. Artist or labels can pay streaming platforms to recommend their songs in more algorithms, so our algorithmic recommendations are not tailored to our musical taste. The only benefit to streaming music is convenience at the cost of our individualism (not to mention how AI is harmful and aren't as good as HI-Human Intelligence). HOWEVER, I still use Spotify to listen to new releases and I do not pay for their subscription (I don't like subscription models). Anyways, click or tap the titles on the right to see more information ^^)/ I listen to my C.Ds with Dunu Concept R (player) and Senheisser IE200 (earphones). Yes, I RIP C.Ds but I do not have a digital audio player YET. I would love to know your set-up if you have one ^w^)
Fetty Wap
Bought as: 1st HAND
Comment: THIS ALBUM IS BANGER AFTER BANGERS!! Highkey a CD for parties. You could not escape Fetty Wap and this banger album ever after like idk how many years now
Mariah Carey
Comment: I love me some Mariah Carey but Emancipation of Mimi is my most favourite discography with my JAM 'We Belong Together' and butter 'One And Only'. There's a reason why you barely see this album in second-hand shops. You wouldn't throw away treasure (looking at you Music Box... this album is everywhere).

Comment: There's something about 'The Way' that makes me want to buy this album and put it in my Digital Music Player... IF I HAD ONE.

Erykah Badu
Bought as: 2nd HAND
Comment: This album led to me to be obsessed with Erykah Badu through 'Green Eyes'. I listened to this on Youtube and this album was my most listened to for a few years! I bought a CD bundle from the US that had RnB and Neosoul with various artists (Erykah included) and they LOST IT. MY BABIES!!!
