I started collecting CDs a few months back because I got fed up of not owning my music, now I’m looking into refurbished mini pcs to use as a server for it all.
A charity shop nearby sold 10 CDs in mystery packs for the price of one normal cd so my collection grew pretty quick, some of the stuff is shit but some of the CDs were multi disk compilations that have really helped bulk it out.
I’ve started collecting specific things now but at the start I just wanted to build up my library. It’s pretty rare to find my favourites even when buying new stuff though. The random packs helped me to find some new songs at least.
