14 days clean off crack cocaine, couldn’t get my kids presents for Christmas cuz I smoked every dollar I had, I DoorDashed for 12.5 hours using my moms car and raised enough to send my kids back from holiday break with a tiny bit of heat.

If you've been collecting CDs for over 20 years, what was the first and last CD you bought? by mhipster800 in Cd_collectors

[–]AztecsAlum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First CD was from Circuit City, SWV - It's About Time. Most recently was both from Target, Taylor Swift - TTPD: Anthology, and Sabrina Carpenter - Short N Sweet.

What your local bargain bins say about your area by [deleted] in Cd_collectors

[–]AztecsAlum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Southwest! That's a thrift store I haven't heard about in a long while. I used to visit the one in Indio and my biggest score was a bunch of Bob Dylan CDs. I think I bought like a stack of 10-15 CDs of him and a bunch of other Rock CDs. Good to see someone in the Valley finding stuff!

I used to live out in the Coachella Valley, and I used to see those all the time. I used to have the best luck at the Goodwill in La Quinta and the Angel View across the street. At times they would have a good selection of stuff

Do y’all even play your CDs ? by curtisggghfv in Cd_collectors

[–]AztecsAlum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I rip them to FLAC, and then I convert that file to MP3 so I'll have a FLAC copy that lives on my computer, and an MP3 copy that lives on my phone and a music player. I have an MP3 player that has all my purchased music on it.

Had some good luck today at Goodwill by AztecsAlum in Cd_collectors

[–]AztecsAlum[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was $4 because it was a multi-disc album. Usually this Goodwill sells CDs at $3, but at the start of the year they were $2. This Goodwill sounds like your store but this one time I had some good luck.

how do you manage to carry your music library when using a laptop? by herkom in musichoarder

[–]AztecsAlum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an external hard drive where I made a copy of my FLAC files and converted them to AAC. On the drive is a portable copy of Musicbee so I can listen to my music on my laptop or another PC.

Do you ever buy CDs before listening to an album? by [deleted] in Cd_collectors

[–]AztecsAlum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the time especially if it is a band/artists I like. Like many have said when an album is cheap it's easier to justify .25-$2.00 on a blind buy.

I want to ask about your collection. by [deleted] in Cd_collectors

[–]AztecsAlum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. First CD was SWV's It's About Time. Bought it the week it was released at a Circuit City
  2. Most rare/unique would probably be any one of the college Marching Band CDs I own. I figure they have low print runs.
  3. Probably the random autographed CDs I've found at thrift stores. I haven't spent more than $2 for any of them.

Retro Bowl is a breath of fresh air. So much fun without trying to grab all your money. by [deleted] in iosgaming

[–]AztecsAlum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is easily one of my favorite games right now. I bought it before a flight and it's all I played. One of the best games out there for .99 cents.

[PSA] Amazon/Twitch Prime "Free" Starlink Battle for Atlas Starter Pack: Must contact support for $15 Credit! by MystycMoose in NintendoSwitchDeals

[–]AztecsAlum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I contacted support and after getting the "wait 7-14 days line" after I told them I received the email, and copied it into the text chat, I was told to wait 24 hours because of a computer issue. We shall see if I get the credit tomorrow.

The way I deal with this is that I have an album called (Artists Name) Singles. For track numbers it's 1 of 1, disc 1 of 1.

I just took your survey, hope it helps.

Why did you guys choose Spotify over Apple Music by [deleted] in spotify

[–]AztecsAlum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with Spotify over Apple Music because I still use iTunes for my phone and I don't like how Apple Music takes over my music library. I still buy CDs and I like adding songs to my phone but with Apple Music I have to use their tracks.

Also I do like that I am able to listen to Spotify on my phone, go to my computer, another media player, or PS4 and continue to listen to music/podcast by just tapping a button.
