I'm still rocking cassettes in the '01 but thinking about upgrading to a CD player.
I've kept all of my and my wifes CDs. I should probably reevaluate why as most everything is on some streaming service. I've got them organized though so until it becomes a storage burden I'll probably keep them for some reason. [Reply]

It would be a nice backup system. I uploaded all of my CDs onto itunes and then we donated them or sold them or something. Now itunes won't let me login and have put all of my newer music "on the cloud" against my wishes, so I'm worried that the next time I buy a computer it's going to be a nightmare.
I actually think the new music is more at risk than the old music, though. But itunes is the worst software ever created. [Reply]

That's a good point.
I honestly can't remember the last time I even tried accessing iTunes and I was an early adopter with iTunes and the original brick iPod. So yeah, I likely would've lost all that music or at least had a challenge accessing it.
Even though most everything is on a Spotify type service, sometimes I'll flip through my CD books just for ideas of what to listen to then play it Spotify. I find that I just listen to the same stuff over and over again using just Spotify since its in the front of my mind or search history. So maybe what I need is a database of my stuff and not the actual stuff. [Reply]

Did you store your music on your hard drive also? [Reply]

Hate those Apple pricks. Took me a while to figure out what was happening, but I tunes kept deleting my music that wasn't ripped from CDs or purchased from ITunes. Every time they push an update, which is constantly, I would lose songs. [Reply]

Yes, I still have my CD's and vinyl records.
Spent a couple grand recently on Rotel BT Integrated Amp and Rotel separate CD player along with Klipsch tower speakers for home to match my AT Turntable.
Had > 200 CD’s before the upgrade, have purchased another 50 or so on eBay over the past couple of months. CD’s run $5-8 on EBay these days, where vinyl copies run $20-30.
If I ever dump Spotify, Ill still have >500-600+ hard copies of my favorite music forever.
