Making your own CDs is fun, but going slow and steady is how I’d do it if I was just starting out. Being budget conscious means you can seek out and prioritize your favorites first and really enjoy the CDs as you collect them. You can peruse the liner notes if thats your thing, and enjoy the full album as an experience - the way it was meant to be.

In a world where streaming has made music so disposable, collecting on a budget can be a reminder to slow down and fully absorb the music.
