    Excluding magazine comp CDs I have 426 CDs and 47 vinyl, of which about 95% is metal and rest is hard rock, hardcore or punk other than Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds.

    I have probably sold or given away qt least  another couple of hundred CDs as well as a small number of vinyl over the years, many of which I regret getting rid of (note: don't sell your extreme metal collection when your future wife says she doesn't like wall of noise- just listen to it when she is not around).

     

    I love physical media and wish I had more money for more music.  Alas that is not my lot in life - since start of November I have brought one measley CD for $10 due to extreme financial distress.  

    i know how you feel....as a teenager i dont have a job and ive spent roughly all my birthday money, im just glad i have internet access and some decent speakers tho, even if they do tell me to turn it down....ill never give away or sell my collection, i know that for sure

    I got an email from Bandcamp saying it is:

    ...excited to announce that Bandcamp is joining Epic Games, who you may know as the makers of Fortnite and Unreal Engine, and champions for a fair and open Internet.

    Despite my inherent distrust in selling out to bigger players in a market, I guess it is their business that they founded and so can do what they want with it. Just hope that the core platform and purpose does not shift, i.e. providing a direct way to legitimately buy from artists and labels.

    In fact, maybe it is an opportunity to broaden the services. What bandcamp lacks is a social media aspect that can effectively do away with me ever having to feel the dirtiness of posting to facebook ever again. I long for the day I can cancel all facebook, instagram and twitter accounts.

    An authentic music-centric social media platform seems to be missing in this crazy messed up world. I don't want political shit or inane photos of someone else's holiday, I just want to check in with bands I like and see what they are up to and buy a download or t-shirt from them if I really want to.

    The cut that bandcamp makes from sales should be sufficient to support such a service, without having to resort to general advertising*, all the trappings and questionable practice of which have made Facebook the most evil socially disruptive force on the planet.

    There was a metal-specific social media platform called Bandbond that surfaced a while ago. But, unfathomably, it was a phone app only - like no web access - WTF. I do most of my messing around and profile viewing on a PC and don't want to be limited to staring at a 5 inch screen.

    I tried to sign up for it but bands apparently needed to be vetted before a page could go live. They never replied to the submission form. What seemed like potentially a good idea was implemented in the most retarded way possible.

    Bandcamp already has the framework and userbase to give me an alternative that actually promotes value in music.

    *although, if it is a band/label that wants to pay for a banner ad to promote a release....that make perfect sense on a music site. It is the insidious targeted *other* shit that is the problem.

    At the moment I have a rather unimpressive (in comparison to others) collection of 25 CDs, all metal. If you wanna call Radiohead metal. Moving on, how many CDs do u own and what are your thoughts on the matter? CDs or Spotify/Youtube? I personally prefer CDs for the authenticity, plus its just awesome knowing that your actually adding to the bands record sales, as many will know that Spotify and Youtube don't exactly pay the artists which pisses me off. But that doesn't mean I wont ever use free online listening, because, well, its free, and online.
