Great vid Morgan. CDs 💿 are a fantastic format.. i love buying them you get bonus tracks on alot of them.. I try nd buy at least one a week... Great tips for people who are newbies to the format my friend..
I really enjoyed this video. I've been collecting CDs since they first came into existence. I own over 10.000 and counting. I remember when I used to burn mixed CDs for my co-workers and my friends. I wish I could still do it. I have so many of those CD carrying cases. They have all the mixes I've made for my friends. I like to keep copies of them for my own listening pleasure. I wish I had the time and the patience to enter all my CDs into discogs but it would take forever. Maybe you could do it for me. LOL. I glad to see that we CD collectors still have a voice. Great video.
Thanks! Personal mixes are awesome, it's one of my favorite things about CDs. Over the years I've put my own playlists and music onto CDs to share and listen to.
Great video! I mostly listen to Japanese music and own over 800 Japanese CDs. A lot of the releases I have only exist on CD / Have never gotten a digital release. It's always awesome to see other young people collect CDs. I really love when albums come with little goodies like a phone charm or key-chain. I really like that you mention bonus content! I haven't tried vinyl yet due to not really having a desire to do so. I'll have check out vinyl at some point, though. Sorry for the weird comment! I'm bad at wording things.
Thanks! Your comment was fine and made complete sense. I have 3 or 4 Japanese CDs, and they're really cool! I've never gotten a keychain or charm with an album, but that's an awesome bonus. You should try vinyl one day!
You can buy an external USB CD burner for your computer and burn discs. BTW mp3 is a lossy format that compresses the audio on the CD, slightly degrading the sound quality - whether you can hear this depends on the quality of your audio equipment and what mp3 bitrate you use. I rip ("download") my CDs to Apple Lossless which stores the CD audio losslessly. No data is removed to reduce the file size, it uses lossless compression instead reducing the 700mb CD down to around 500mb. For PC users i'd recommend FLAC instead, Apple Lossless is based on FLAC and they're very similar formats. If you do rip them to mp3, don't go below 256 kbps, and preferably use 320 kbps as this minimises the audio degradation. Uncompressed CD audio is 1,411 kbps for comparison.
CD Vs. Vinyl that does have a plus side to the CD. Vinyl will have 40 mins or less and the CD version is 60 mins. you have a shorter edition. one good example of vinyl and the lack of time per side. Pink Floyd - The Division Bell on the original vinyl version had to be edited to fit a single 2 side album. now it was fully restored and issued on a 2 LP set. imagine listening to your favorite album on CD or Cassette and its 60 mins and the vinyl is 50 mins. some other notable albums from the 80s had the standard songs and when the CD came out they added 1 extra song. Michael Jackson - BAD had 1 extra song on the CD. so the CD does have some more value for a cheaper price over the Vinyl. so for all the "i hate CD, Digital crowd" that only sticks to Vinyl they are missing out. but that's ok they wont know what they are missing :)

That's awesome, keep buying CDs!
Thank you Morgan. I am a CD collector and your video was helpful in many respects...
You're welcome. As always, I'm glad I can help!

Thanks Morgan.
The only time I buy CDS is when I’m on my way to my favorite artists concert and I listen to them on the way
I do that too sometimes. CDs are great for road trips.
In a few weeks I’m gonna send you some vinyls I think you will like I’m not gonna tell you the artists but it’s a male artist
I can’t wait, thank you!!

Interesting, thanks for the info. I will look into getting an external USB CD burner!

Good point about the run time, that’s another advantage for CDs.
CD is 80 mins
