svjiminfxv Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I have been collecting BTS albums since 2019 as I am a big fan of the group and want to collect all there merchandise. I like collecting the Photo Cards in the albums. Do you collect albums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I wouldn't say "collect" per se, but when a band I a big fan of releases a new album I always buy the CD. When I get it, before I even listen to it, I rip it first. On a rare occasion I may buy a vinyl of the album, but it's not common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dismal_Bliss Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I've been buying digitally for a while now, but I would like to get back into CDs. My son is big on collecting vinyl. I can't believe records made a comeback. The art they are able to put on the records themselves these days is pretty sweet. Back in the day it was just black with a label in the middle.

CoryAR Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I went through a big music stage and as a result of it I have two big CD towers full of bands I like. I've barely used the CDs compared to using services like YouTube Music, so I kind of regret spending so much money on them, but who knows? They may be worth some money one day. My uncle collects CDs and has a whole room and closet full of them. Dismal_Bliss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I don't anymore. I used to do this a lot when I was much younger but now, I don't even want to hear most songs because I just know I'm going to get a lackluster experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But back when I was younger, an album was a complete experience. Songs were crafted and tracked in a certain order. Some songs would lead into other songs, or share the same theme. Making sure you had a hour to sit down and digest the whole album was a must, But the experience today isn't like that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Barida Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I used to collect albums of Backstreet Boys when I was 13, but relocating made me stop as the pressure of settling down and handling some other life challenges didn't let me continue. At the moment, I don't collect any and doubt I will start anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I used to collect albums years ago but since everything went digital, I tend to have most of my collections now online. I don't mind purchasing an album if I really want it but most of the time now, I tend to listen to albums old and new on Spotify or Amazon Music.

Cpvr Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I use to collect physical albums all the time when I was younger, but now, i just download them on Spotify and add them to my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Yes, I've been collecting vinyl for about 12 years or so now, and I own about 250 records. There's just something about vinyl that I really enjoy. It sounds good, I like having the large artwork on display, and I just like being able to physically hold the music in my hands. It's also one of the best ways to support small, independent artists.

Knight Barida Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I don't collect albums at the moment. I buy most of the digital versions of the songs that I play. So, there is no point trying to keep albums since I don't even buy discs anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
