Are you a music collector? Movies? Games? What brings out the hoarder in you?
@llothar68Ай бұрын
Was a movie collector. Now selling all i have before moving to my retirement place in the philippines. I find collecting a terrible material mentality. Especially now where it's not about finding things but just browing ebay and buying.

I never stopped collecting physical media. Books, comics, music, movies, and TV shows are all things I collect physical media for. Especially if I'm able to go to Value Village and pick up some great DVD and VHS finds. I'm glad you mentioned Big Shiny Tunes, because I love those albums. I have Big Shiny Tunes 3 to 8 on CD. Much Dance is another Canada exclusive music series that I enjoy on CD as well. Same with the Now! series.

@@NerdCrave My dad has Now! 3, and I have Now! 7, Now! 11, and Now! 12. So definitely more 2000's music, all of which were on the radio when I was in high school and my year off between high school and college. Big Shiny Tunes 4 is my favourite of all three series of albums. My dad had it on audiotape, and he always played it in the car when he drove me to a summer day camp I went to in my early teens. I eventually got it on CD, but being in the car with my dad, listening to it on audiotape was awesome.

@@NerdCrave And you're right, you're not gonna find those online. I mean, sure, you can find the songs on iTunes or Spotify from the digital versions of the albums the artists originally recorded them for, but those particular collections? With those particular versions of those songs, as some of them are remixes or special versions not on any other album? Not a chance.

I have all 14 Big Shiny Tunes as well as the 3 spin-off sets - Big Shiny 90's Volumes 1 and 2 and Big Shiny 80's. My wife burned a CD for what she guessed Big Shiny Tunes 15 could have been.

My thing is definitely gaming and I dont like to buy digital only content normally for a variety of reasons. I never really stopped buying physical games or even questioned transitioning away from it as the tangibility of the product means a lot to me. Also, digital only content is worth absolutely nothing monetarily which is a serious problem because it takes money to get or get access to media, so coming out with nothing of note other than a file isnt good since I cant make any decisions with that file other than to delete it or re-download it. A lot of folks spend a lot of money on gaming and other digital content and don't realize or think about how little official worth it has. Theres a lot else to say but I really liked this top 10. Excellent points made all through it and important for everyone to remember. Thanks NC!

Thanks for stopping by. I haven’t heard from you in a while. I absolutely agree about the value of digital products. I actually did get rid of a lot of of my physical media back in the day and I’ve spent the last three or four years reacquiring it. I probably have more now than I ever did.

I prefer viewing content in the native aspect ratio. you can actually lose lots of information during the aspect ratio conversion.

i tell EVERYONE to do this & they think i'm crazy!! it's very annoying--hey! i saved $1,000 in itunes by ILLing international CDs thru my library. over 800 tracks!! i have everything backed up on discs i've made for people or in my server. i figure w/a battery generator one could have music to last a long while; this would be part of control & contact.

Public domain. Movies we love should be archived and freely available to all after their copyright expires... media should not be lost to time. but this is not ideal for current and future rent seekers. I could see corps further trying claw their royalties to century old media.

Hmm, honestly, I really just prefer "obtaining" everything and throwing it on a big ole hard drive lol. Price of a VPN and a couple 8+ TB hard drives is gonna win out every time. Can even add a seedbox in there for slightly more $. And you don't use up any space irl. If you like going out and buying this stuff that's cool though. It's an interesting hobby.
@NerdCraveАй бұрын
i do that as well. i have a plex server feeding me 20+ TB of obtained files lol
@iiquloАй бұрын
The problem with obtaining everything is that little of it has value or is special. At that point it is all disposable. I say this not even from a physical vs digital angle. I have too many physical pieces of media. At some unseen point, it all becomes too much. But, I also have to talk about the physical cs digital angle. There is more to the experience of media than just the core content itself. From going out and buying it, to opening the package, to looking at the artwork. Handling the disc/cassette/cartridge. Touch is a very important aspect for human interaction. That is why car dealerships want you to test drive the cars. Once you've touched it, it creates a feeling of ownership that makes one much more willing to buy. Clicking on a list will never create that form of attachment. Though there is the argument that maybe we should be less attached to our entertainment. Who knows?

I do think there will eventually be a future for physical when something more efficient comes... I personally think there should be a VHS2 that's like a 1TB thumb drive, but is actually not considered piracy to play movies off of. Optical discs just aren't appealing to that many people anymore. The DVD now is as old as the VHS was in 2003.

I agree this could actually be a good and legitimate use for NFTs allowing a digital file to have a unique ownership number that allows people to buy and sell it and move it around

Why would you collect physical media when you can just as easily download onto HDD and make one or more backups that take up no space at all? The physical space, the dust, the need to inventory, the chance of losing your collection if you have a flood, fire or other disaster. What if you have to move, what if you have to move quickly as in SHTF.

Well, there are many pros and cons to both standpoints. I personally do both. I have like 20 TB of downloaded files that I run through a Plex server. I literally have a digital copy of every single DVD I own. I still watch the DVDs and prefer to interact with physical media most of the time.

@@RobertQuant People who choose to own media in this day and age do it because they think it is hip, trendy and makes them superior. They proudly show off their collection thinking men will want to be them and women will want to be with them. You are just amassing a collection that will be tossed out on the day you die, or at the very least sold off for pennies on the dollar after you die. Happens every day.
