I've been compiling a library of blurays, music cds, and dvds from local thrift stores. The ones near me sell any media for $2. New sealed, or an entire TV series, doesnt matter.

Got the entire Clone Wars series for $2 because it has the same blanket media price as all the individual cds. It's crazy what people give away just because it's out of style. Someday, as the streaming services get worse selection and more expensive, they'll regret this and wish they had their original library back. For now it's to our benefit.

I've been scanning the thrift stores for 2-3 years, gradually accumulating stuff as it comes in. I think I have over 500 movies and complete series at this point, plus an uncounted amount of music cds, most of the media library I've ever consumed.

Started ripping them last weekend, and backing up the files multiple places-- on my pc, on spare sata ssds, etc.

But my favorite media player is a cheap chinese emulator handheld. Loaded up a pair of sd cards, one with game isos, one with mkv movies.

Now I can play all my ps1, dreamcast, snes, gba, etc (anything older than ps2) roms and all my movies on one handheld device. I can even output them to my home theater setup drm free, with hdmi-out. Its hardware is about as strong as a potato, but that's more than enough. Technology has long since outstripped the demands of hd video and emulated ps1 games.

Meanwhile when I try to stream movies from amazon, they tell me my gaming pc doesnt support HD video and to get a verified device. Ok. Bye Amazon.
