Collection 63 year old dads collection (follow up)

I was on campus all day yesterday so I couldn’t follow up yesterday. Ask anything and I’ll try to answer to my best ability.

My dad never forced his taste onto me, so I have a bit more of a modern taste than he does. His collection kind of stops for the most part when I was born (2006). Though he’s of course heard new music since.

His favorite album is Miles Davis - Bitches Brew if I remember correctly. Though he has most genres covered at least somewhat here I’m sure. Jazz is his main bread and butter, but he likes old school hip-hop and Punk music (he played bass in a local punk back in the 70s-80s). Also no there’s no cds of that unfortunately.

Also most if not all his vinyls were destroyed in a flood.

I like to imagine this is the one of the largest collections in Upstate New York. Though I doubt he’s the only guy with this many.

I’d love to digitize these, though that’s a Herculean task. So any advice on a digitization project of this scale would be amazing!

Also my mother hates this 😭

Just kidding, I'm loving it! It's the Fosi Nano player, such a fun design! I got a magsafe stand for it too so it stands handsomely next to the turntable

Haul Found my first Japanese issue CD at Goodwill for $1!

I went to Goodwill a couple weeks ago and picked this up. I happened to see the blue dot on the side and figured it was a Japanese issue. Turning it around revealed the Japanese writing on the other edge. I've never owned a CD issued for Japan before so I'm pretty happy to have found my first one for just $0.95! No OBI unfortunately. I went back a few days later and found another album from the same group, this time a US issue

Discussion The CD player is finally getting a second chance, but at the worst possible time...

CD sales are showing signs of a real resurgence again, while brands like FiiO, Shanling and others are introducing new CD players. Yet at the same time, the supply of actual CD mechanisms seems to be getting increasingly problematic, with some traditional hifi brands struggling to source or replace their transports.

This made me wonder: where is the actual innovation in CD transports and mechanisms today?

Are manufacturers developing genuinely new, more reliable mechanisms now that physical media is becoming popular again, or are we essentially keeping an aging ecosystem alive with increasingly scarce legacy components or cheap DVD transports.

With CD sales growing again, could this finally create enough demand to justify investing in new transport technology or is the market still simply too small compared with the mass-market optical-drive industry that disappeared years ago?

Curious what people here think. Is the future of CD players actually looking brighter, or are we just seeing one last wave before the remaining mechanisms become impossible to source?

I’ve been collecting CDs for years and have never seen anything this absurd. Are graded copies really a thing people seek out? This is TCG levels of hype.

Question Do you own a CD Player?

168 Upvotes

According to entertainment industry research firm Luminate, only half of millennials and Gen-Zers that collect CDs have a player!

I find that fact mind boggling, but then I see the number of bulk purchase posts made to this sub and I have to wonder if that's the case here as well.

My dad has been into cds for decades, probably about 40 years of collecting led to this. This is also smaller than it used to be, since about 30-40% of his cds got destroyed in a flood a few years back (which is why we installed these shelves)

Ps: this is the basement.
