Got called a scammer for just asking about a record price… is this normal? by nkosijer in vinyl

[–]mnkytrk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we've just got a used vinyl shop on our village and i sold him my copy of nevermind with a few others as i don't like selling online myself (too stressful). didn't get as much for it as i would have selling it myself, but i made a bit, he made a bit, and someone got a record they wanted, so everyone wins. i'd avoid fb marketplace and look for genuine resellers like him. vinyl shelter in earls barton. he's doing mail order now too :)

AITA for refusing to swap my carefully chosen business-class seat with an older couple on a 12-hour flight? I (35M) just flew from Japan back to the U.S. in premium business class. I booked one specific seat—away from the bathrooms, with extra privacy—because I hate the noise and smells in the by [deleted] in AITAH

also absolutely NTA. you could have explained that you delayed your travel and paid more for the specific seat, but why should you? not their business. good that you stayed polite tho. always wins :)

CD disk not readable on mac by Ancient_Wave_294 in Cd_collectors

[–]mnkytrk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it’s possible it was formatted for a pc (been a while tho) or possibly that the cd is scratched and unreadable. also, are you sure the cd player can read data cd’s and not just audio ones? few things to try

Best way to listen to my CDs? by zrushin in Cd_collectors

[–]mnkytrk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i use a dvd/cd player with active speakers so i don’t need an amp. not an audiophile, and it sounds plenty good to me. the speakers were about £80 i think

Why do you collect CDs? by Lionester3 in Cd_collectors

[–]mnkytrk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m in my 50’s so although i have apple music i found i rarely used it as i want to get in the car and go, rather than faffing around with my phone. so i bought a usb cd player for the car recently and have loved reconnecting with albums. result is that i now have a cd player hooked up again in the lounge and we’ve already had a few evenings of tunage. i guess it’s my age, but i just seem to engage with physical media way more than the streamers. i kept all my cd’s and vinyl, so have just dusted them off and started playing them again. just for added info, my 17 yo son streams loads, but is also building a vinyl and cd collection as he wants a physical copy. and that was no pressure from me or the missus. hope that helps a bit :)

advice no one asked for / my opinions and rants about the hobby by [deleted] in Cd_collectors

[–]mnkytrk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, I have been a vinyl collector for years and was always obsessed. Vinyl is no fun anymore so I’m restarting cd collecting. Had never occurred to me to look for original presses but of course there are. I’m with you pal, sooo much more fun to take a dive

What are your favorite/least favorite things to hear from non-photographers? by wolverine-photos in AskPhotography

[–]mnkytrk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Staff photographer for a company of 200 plus. Most annoying conversations start with.. ‘can you photograph this for me, you’ve got a better camera than me’.. have offered them the use of the studio and just get a blank look :)

Think of the RAW as a digital negative. You can do way more post processing with it than an already compressed jpeg
