I used to have hundreds of records but my parents got rid of them when I was in the Air Force (to be fair they did store my comic books and sports cards until I could get them). If I had the space and a record player I’d collect vinyl. Right now I have a few records I’ve found at yard sales, the biggest being a Jim Croce record and an Elvis gospel album

I have about 4-5 vinyls (and 2 more in the post) with no way to play them. Absu, Hate Forest, Windswept, Origin, Inquisition...
I bought CDs all my life, where I would rip them all to digital storage myself after purchase. I'm a freak who still walks around with an mp3 player (although they call them 'HD audio players' these days to justify charging 1000 bucks for the high end). However for the last 5 years my rig is just a laptop with no optical drive, so the actual CDs are redundant. If I really want the files for posterity I can just go to Soulseek, which is still around.
As a pirate it feels cucked to act like purely digital music has any real monetary value, so I won't just buy download codes, but as a metal fan I still value the physical product, with the art and inlays, so I figured if I'm going to continue buying something, it may as well be the vinyl from now on.
I just can't play them. As pathetic as it sounds I don't have an inch of spare space for a new sound system.
Yea I used to burn CDs like crazy and then would download songs off YouTube and put them on cd. Use Apple Music now but when I have the space I’d love to have a massive physical music library
