Apparently CDs are trending up as a nostalgia format in some demographics! https://www.axios.com/2024/01/06/gen-z-cds-buying-collection

I found this small community just a few days ago: !cd_collectors@lemmy.sdf.org Thought it was interesting, and curious. I did not know that CDs are considered by some as collectible.

Nice find, it is weird that I'm now a collector because I still have all the CDs I've bought, and I still buy one from time to time

Indeed! Apparently I too have unwittingly been growing my collection since 1991. Of course back then we just called it "buying my music".

I would show it off to that community but it's just stacked in cardboard boxes (alphabetically, I'm not an animal), not nicely curated and organized and dusted weekly in pride of place. Also, I've never counted, but it must number in the several hundred; I wouldn't want to overwhelm any fledgling enthusiasts there. ;)
