Hey SpaceSleepers (61): Sourcing My CDs

I said I would talk about so here is the long awaited CD sourcing entry! I have been dropping a lot of small stuff here and there about how I get my CDs online mostly since CDs that pique my interest are harder for me to come across at thrift stores up until I find a more consistent location in real life. The place that started my collection was decluttr, a site that, if you recall from previous entries, stopped sales on-site a few months back, mostly dispersed to Amazon or eBay. Sadly, this makes their stock harder to keep track of, so I would really just recommend buying your used CDs via eBay, which I am pretty sure most people already do. Decluttr not selling on their website anymore is honestly a huge bummer, but a decent replacement is Amoeba.

I do suggest used CDs a lot, but if you're not privy to having to deal with a surprise CD in the jewel case of the CD you thought you bought, or having to scour thrift stores to seek out some random guy's mixtape,
you can also purchase new ones. I would recommend online stores other than Amazon because I don't think we should centralize our purchases to evil eternal warehouse that's ran by the modern oil baron. Barnes & Nobles or Urban Outfitters since they both have extensive inventory both online and offline. If you have any recommendations for sites, I would really love for you to drop it under this entry.

I think really finding what you would want in physical form can be a process that's rewarding. It can lead to you finding out what you think is really important and what you'd want to keep with you. Music is very personal already listening to it digitally, owning it physically just has a feeling that is all the more private. No service could take away that you own the CD, it's yours (08/07/2024).
