Micro library

Name all your CDs if you have 5 or less.

I thknk I have around 1500 CD's and around 500 vinyl albums..

It would be easier for me to list my ITunes/Spotify library contents, but I can't be bothered.

I still like owning physical copies of albums, but I have a space issue in my apartment, so Spotify is becoming my medium for playing music, although I tend to only save albums to my library that I have already purchased on vinyl/CD. If I'm trying an artist out for the first time I always still buy the CD.

I'm not sure what your asking for, but, if you're fishing for, say, a desert island five CDs, I could put together a list for you.

He is asking for people with 5 or less than 5 cds in their libraries to list them in this thread
I must've been 8 or 9 back when I had 5 cds in my collection. Queen - Grestest Hits, Michael Jackson - Bad, Scorpions - Last Sting, Monrad & Rislund - Greatest Hits and Floyd's The Wall.

I don't trust the streaming services to financially support the bands I like. Mostly because they don't....and I am one of those old fashioned music fans that actually get a kick out of supporting artists. That way they may even end up making yet another album.
Also very few streaming sites offer up good quality compared to an actual cd or even a flac download.

If you like the majority of your money to go to the artists the best way to do that is to go see them live when they tour. The money you save from streaming services you could buy tickets to their show and buy merchandise. As for quality of streams, there are hifi streaming services that offer FLAC quality audio. In my earlier post I mentioned that both buying albums and having a streaming service compliment each other very well. Sticking with only one method is very limiting. Also if you think of "support" only in terms of monetary compensations then you are probably correct. But what streaming services do provide is a platform to get their music to a lot of listeners, a form of promotion if you will. There are a good amount of people who wouldn't "risk" buying an album because they don't know if they would like it or not. With streaming services you have the ability to listen to their output, and if you really do enjoy them you could purchase their albums. I have done this on many occasions. A.C.T would be my most recent example of this. I saw the reviews on this site were very positive, so I checked them out. I really enjoyed their music so I bought a CD for my friend who I thought would enjoy them (he did and subsequently bought more of their albums), and I myself bought their live DVD they released this last year. Maybe it's a generation kind of thing, as you admit you are "...one of those old fashioned music fans", but it seems to me that if streaming services were available when you were young we wouldn't be having this conversation. Times are a changing, and if you want to stay in the past then that is no sweat of my back. But I love music, and I don't have a huge entertainment budget, so I am going to do whatever gives me the best price to volume ratio, and for me that includes both schools of thought, not just one or the other.
