Physical Media Lovers

Two new additions, got as a gift for my fiance

New shit dropped

Does anyone know if CD players or VHS works on Roku tv's? I would assume so, I mean my xbox or playstation CD player works.... o.O

My diskman got to my house today!! I'm in my dorm right now so I can't get it, but I will get it on Thursday! I'm so so excited!!!!!

Malice mizer mervailles cd !!! I really want the memorie cd but it's actually so expensive!!!! Uggg why r CDs so expensive 😔

Hello homosexuals and others, here is part of my collection, I intend on growing it soon, you have been warned.

New addition (big fan of body count)

SO glad I found this right after I started collecting! Literally just got my first cd player/radio/alarm clock!! She's so cute but I desperately need to get a toothpick to get in all of those dihGUSTING crevices.

Burned my first CD this week and it worked really well! Made the cover sleeve on canva but couldn't get it to print right... looks a little small but that's okay!!

My diskman I got the same day as the other cd player... he snapped in half four hours after having him. I was in a library printing out the cover sleeve for my cd case when my leg got caught on the earbuds and it freaking CRASHED to the ground. The top is fully disconnected and even when I was able to get the thing to close it still didn't work! ;-; I have a new one coming in this weekend. Hopefully it doesn't slam off the table AGAIN!!

Lastly my most important piece... BOOKS!! I think a lot of people forget books in the conversation about physical media, but books are so so SO important to collect and take care of. I'm reading Project Hail Mary as my nighttime book and Lord of the Flies as my day time book! I have been neglecting Lord of the Flies though... Should probably get back to reading that...

so last year i got a cd player from amazon. my friend recommended it and it looks like a suitcase so i was like omg thats so cute!!! and ive been looking for a cd but im a little wary of getting it from amazon bc i was worried it might break or smth. but my friend uses it and no complaints!! I GOT MAYBE A FEW USES OUT OF IT AND IT DOESNT WORK ANYMORE. IM SO DISAPPOINTED.

SO MY QUESTION LMAOOO IS- do you guys have any cd player recommendations? preferably cheap, and i dont need it to be fancy. i literally just wanna press play skip and pause LOLLL. preferably a small one as well. :')) thank you

does anyone have any experience burning their own cds? is it cheaper than just buying one?

I got another mitski cd!!! I really want to buy some madman’s esprit cds🥺

New CDs!!!

has anyone ever recorded albums onto cassettes (in a 100% super legal way) because im thinking of doing it because it seems pretty easy on paper but im wondering if its as easy and it sounds 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Albums that have been in heavy rotation the past few weeks. (L-R) Low Forest - Entrovert, Choir Boy - Passive With Desire, John Carpenter - Lost Themes.

How much do you want to integrate physical media into your life? Do you want it to be more popular overall? What things, if any, do you think should be replaced/mostly replaced by physical media? Any stuff you want to keep digital?

Personally, my ideal car would have a CD player. I think I would mess with playlists by skipping songs and stuff while driving. Pretty bad distraction. With CDs, I've already curated the playlist. Having less flexibility would force me to skip less and focus on driving more.

That said, I'm a fan of bluetooth speakers. I know most chunky radios come with okay-ish to good speakers and might come with CD/cassette player integration, but I don't want to haul a big speaker around. Bluetooth speakers are so handy.

I don't want bluetooth forced into everything, though. Don't charge me for something I don't want or need. From what I've experienced, modern devices think that quantity is better. It's kind of hard to escape unwanted features and then be charged more for it ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ

I got another mitski cd ^^

My physical copy of animal crossing new leaf is arriving wednesday!! very exciting, i have a goal to collect every entry in the series physically, with this it means im only missing amiibo festival and the gamecube OG... owning the first one is like my collecting DREAM but i need to get a whole set up forit... don't have anything that can play GC games yet

Downloaded DVDstyler and am working on putting a silent playthrough of Detroit: Become human (specifically Connor's deviant path) into a dvd with menus + chapters and stuff >:) never done this before so made about 3 million mistakes already but hey I'm learning lots!

I love how the owner of this group's username being "????" makes it look like Kwenk doesn't know who owns this group.
