New Addition That feeling when you get an unexpected poster in your CD

I was content to just add another CD to my internet meme music portion of my collection. I had no idea what I was getting into as I started looking at the album notes and unfurled this beauty.

It felt like watching meme giving birth to a meme.

The Idiot (1977), le premier album solo d'Iggy Pop, est largement considéré comme l'un des disques fondateurs et précurseurs du mouvement post-punk.

Quand pensez-vous ?

Question Monorail Music

2 Upvotes

This may not be the right place to post this, so if you guys know a better place to post it let me know!

Recently I bought a CD online (WTIALY) that I'd been searching for for months. Can't find it anywhere unless it was 200 bucks. Someone reached out to me and let me know that a shop was selling it and wished me luck if I could get it. Good news was that I was able to get it, but bad news is ive never bought from them before.

Has anyone here ordered something from monorail music/been to the store in person. Is it legit? Did you get what you ordered? Thanks again guys.

CD Player Got a CD/radio player, but the CD player part isn't working.

1 Upvotes

I could not find any other sub to put this on, so my apologies if this is not the place to put it either.

In the mechanism, there's this loose part, and CDs put into it don't seem to spin fast enough to be read. Could this be related, or is the loose part normal for a CD player? I have never had one before, so I do not know.

Background noise is the radio going.

I got this for $5 from a thrift store, so it's not like I was expecting much more from it, but I'm still wondering if a fix is simple enough that I could do it at home. What would a fix be?

Collection Good portable CD player KC-918, BUT...

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

Last year I purchased this portable CD player (model KC-918), it’s currently available almost everywhere online for 35-40€ in Germany. It’s a decent device that plays CDs reliably on the go and even features bluetooth and a speaker. However, what really bothers me is the built-in, non-removable battery; a full charge lasts for about 5 to 6 CDs. There have been a few times when I wanted to take the device with me, only to find that the battery was dead. A full recharge takes 4 hours. It would be much better if the CD player could run on replaceable AA batteries instead so now you know I'm not a fan of this build in battery shit. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

New Addition Probably the coolest CD in my collection

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

Two more CDs arrived for the collection the other day: toe’s For Long Tomorrow and CQ’s Communication, Cultural, Curiosity Quotient (or as I like to call it: you know, the other one). Really happy to finally have both in my collection, two amazing albums.

This CQ album in particular is what really got me into shoegaze and alternative rock in general. The first track Disco Crimson is such a gateway drug. At the time the rest of the album was too heavy for me (closer to noise rock than shoegaze). It took about a year of listening to other adjacent sounds before returning, and here we are.

For anyone unfamiliar, CQ featured three members of Tokyo Shoegazer: Hiroshi Sasabuchi, Kiyomi Watanabe, and Yoshitaka Sugahara, alongside Jun Shibuya from honeydip. So if you’re a fan of either band, I’d seriously recommend checking out their work.

I'd recommend sticking to the original 2016 version of CCCQ and the 2024 remaster of WWWE. I specifically sought out those versions for my collection because I think they sound the best. For these albums in particular, the differences in sound are pretty significant.

Mainly picked this up to have the album in my collection, had no idea how cool the physical CD itself actually was. The reflective disc with the matte black square and minimal text in the middle is such a cool look.

Two great additions to the collection!

Check out the image that was on this ebay listing I bought.... first picture is what the listing showed, 2nd picture is what showed up in the mail. I think it was supposed to be auction but got listed as Buy It Now for $10.52 plus media mail shipping!! Very happy, will share my new collection in another post.

FYI...thug Mentality 1999 is a super underrated album and not on streaming so its like normally $50 for a copy. No idea why they used AI image for the listing but it paid off.

CD Player Found this player at my house

It's an Optimus CD-3420 and it had almost no dust inside! It was sitting in a pleather bag for years and after a bit of cleanup it works perfectly! I'm thinking of crocheting a new bag so I can take this on walks with me a bit easier. It does what I need and I think it used to be my mother's so technically I inherited it.

CDs shown are Vindicate by Black Veil Brides and Helluva Boss's Season 1 soundtrack!

Question Does this happen a lot to your cases?

167 Upvotes

Its happened a few times now where I will open my CD case and the plastic bits (?) holding the CD fall out. I dont mind it because the CD is still in good condition, but it is annoying that I have to be extra careful when opening or closing the case now. Most likely a mix of age and quality, because these CDs are around 16 to 19 years old but I do have have older CDs that dont have the same issue.

Question How do y'all track down specific cd's?

0 Upvotes

After an internet outahe 2 weeks ago and not having access to my streaming sites for music i realized how dependant i'd grown on them and decided to track down a small cd player for us ein my room and to collect cd's of my favorite albums.

The big, big problem is that i've had shit luck tracking any of them down and due to import laws, the ones i could find would cost me 6-8 times the cost of the single cd ion customs fees alone. Is there any reliable way to track them down locally or just generally for your country?
