My Entire CD Collection

[@SteveMace79]

That's an excellent collection of CDs that you have there, Morgan. It's great that people of your generation are still buying music in physical format, be it CD or vinyl. I started collecting music when I was buying cassettes in the 1980s 😂 I switched to buying and collecting CDs in the 1990s. I have a lot of them now 🤣 I am looking forward to see how your collection develops and expands.

[@MorganBrandon]

Thanks! I’m glad I joined the vinyl community as it’s making a comeback in my generation. From my experience I think vinyl is more popular (to collect) among people my age but I also like CDs too. I only know a few people with actual CD players and some newer cars don’t even have them lol. You must have some really cool CDs and cassettes in your collection since you’ve been collecting for such a long time! My collections are always growing so soon I’ll need more space haha!

Nice start. Ive been collecting since CDs first came out. I just went through my entire collection over the last 3 months and organized mine. I have over 700 CDs. I had to replace a bunch of them due to DISC ROT and I had many that were scratched. I had about 3% or 4% of my collection subject to DISC ROT so keep this in mind when handling and storing CDs. I alphabetized mine by surname and band name. But I have 6 different categories of music. To differentiate the different categories I use colored 1/2 inch electrical tape along the spine at the bottom. I have mine categorized by Roc/Rap/Pop/Popular Comedy (RED TAPE). Country (BLUE TAPE). Pop/Rock Compilations (RED and YELLOW TAPE). Country Compilations (BLUE and Yellow Tape). Movie/Film/Radio and Theater Soundtracks (WHITE TAPE). And finally World Music such as Classical, Classical crossover, Jazz, New Age, Celtic, and traditional are classified with GREEN TAPE. I used to work for a radio station so this was how we did ours back then. Ive been wanting to organize mine like this for years and finally got around to doing it. It looks cool color coded in my shelving system. I also created a master list to print off and put in a 3 ring binder. Some of my CDs are rare and very expensive to replace so Ive noted that in my logbook. This will give you ideas as to things to keep in mind as your collection expands. Keep collecting!!!

[@MorganBrandon]

Wow! Sounds like you have an awesome collection and it’s very organized! Thanks for the tips!

[@jameskoralewski1006]

What is DISC ROT? I have been collecting CDs since 1983 and own over 2000 by now. ALL my CDs play the exact same way as they did when they were brand new. What did you do to destroy CDs?

[@Jedi71]

Way to go, Morgan! I'm glad to see you so excited about your CD's! I love mine, too.

[@kaitlynporter]

i love your niall horan shirt! :) great video!!!

[@MorganBrandon]

Aww thank you!

[@graemeknowles1431]

Very cool Morgan. Keep on collecting CDs of your favorite artists and albums. Physical media is still the best.👍

[@MorganBrandon]

I agree, physical media is awesome!

[@jameskoralewski1006]

I have been collecting CDs since 1983 so now I own over 2000 Cds. Collecting CDs can be a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy your collecting.

[@MorganBrandon]

Over 2000!? That’s crazy, you must have an epic collection. I’ve picked up more CDs since filming this video I love the hobby!

[@written12]

Go with the cds. The vinyl takes up too much space and you’ve got to flip the record over to hear the whole album. Have no idea who these bands are, but you did a good presentation. The guitar in the corner is well placed; no clutter in the background. Ashton would, I think, agree.

[@MorganBrandon]

Vinyl is high maintenance but that’s just the nature of it. I do like CDs because they don’t have to be flipped over, but I love both my CD and record collections. I have a shelf designated to my records. I listen to “modern/current” music, so most of these artists and bands are what you’d hear on the radio today. I have a small minimalist room so no clutter!

[@jimmycampbell78]

Nice CD collection 😎 I catalogue artists in my collection by their surname. So Calvin Harris and Niall Horan would be under 'H' and Martin Garrix under 'G' 😉

[@MorganBrandon]

Lol I just switch first and last names for no reason. I should fix it, it’s more official by surname I believe😂

[@lauracorbett4577]

I still collect CDs. When I go back to Barnes And Noble I'm gonna get the Ariana Grande Yours Truly CD and I want the Sweetener CD I'm trying to get the deluxe version of Know It All by my queen Alessia Cara cuz it has two songs I like up there called MY SONG and RIVER OF TEARS

[@MorganBrandon]

Nice!

[@BUBBLEGUMGIRLONE]

Great video keep buying cd’s

[@MorganBrandon]

Thanks and I have more CDs coming

[@benh-d8733]

That's a nice collection the only cds i have from all of those Is beerbongs and bentleys and Hollywoods Bleeding and spiderman into the spider verse. I think you should do more videos on cds. Great video!

[@MorganBrandon]

Nice! I have more CD related videos coming in the next few weeks actually!

[@benh-d8733]

@@MorganBrandon oh nice

[@ben.08xx]

Hey there, where did you get the stoney album from? Could you send me the link to the website you bought it from? Thanks

[@MorganBrandon]

I bought it from eBay. Since it’s from eBay I don’t have a specific link but if you search for it on eBay you can find it!

[@ben.08xx]

@@MorganBrandon thanks! It would be great if you could do an unboxing video of it? Also you should check out my cd collection video

[@MorganBrandon]

@@ben.08xx you’re welcome! I never thought about unboxing stoney because the album is old but I’ll keep that in mind. I did unbox a Hollywood’s Bleeding CD on my channel though. And you have a nice CD collection too, a lot of new albums!

[@jameskoralewski1006]

When I first started buying CDs in 1983, there were CD players for sale but no CDs. CDs were not made in the U.S. until 1985. Until then, you could only buy CDs made in either Japan or Germany. They cost $33 each and were only the music popular in the home country at the time. When I went to record stores in the U.S. from 1983-1985 and asked to purchase CDS, the employees told me to go to a bank where I could find CDs (Certificates of Deposit) for sale. They never heard of music CDs at that time.

[@weszyj1964]

I have a question have u ever listed to the 1975 they are my favorite bad? If not u should try them out

[@MorganBrandon]

No I haven’t listened to them but I will!

[@theofficialVEVOformu]

Good collection! my cd collection is getting pretty big I have about 51 CDs And now I’m going to take a break from collecting and only buy signed cds when my favorite artists release music

[@MorganBrandon]

Nice! I’ve done the same, the only CDs I’ve bought this year are new or signed albums.

[@theofficialVEVOformu]

@@MorganBrandon yeah the reason why I put a pause on collecting is because I realized there’s a lot of CDs I haven’t even listened to or opened yet and I want to take time to appreciate the music I already own

[@MorganBrandon]

@@theofficialVEVOformu that’s a good point

[@jbrandon4080]

How many CDs!?!? MORGAN !!!!

[@MorganBrandon]

Only 27😂

[@ander6069]

U dont unseal some of your cds?

[@MorganBrandon]

I only have a few of them that are unopened just because I haven’t played them before. But since filming the video I have unsealed them all.

[@janfebroalota6467]

wow! i also collect CDs.

[@MorganBrandon]

Awesome!

[@ringer4883]

Nice

[@lauracorbett4577]

I'm also trying to Wild World and Bad Blood by Bastille on CD

[@NickFortier]

Stack them kn edge so they're easier to read;) when you get more you'll understand. Keep the stack alive kiddo

[@MorganBrandon]

I don’t keep them in that bin anymore because I got more haha. Now I stack them horizontally on my shelf.

[@NickFortier]

@@MorganBrandon don't collect for value. Collect what you enjoy, others will enjoy too. It's always cool to end up with ones that go up jn value. I've been collecting mine since music was a part of my life. I've also got around 800 now. Some vinyl. Vinyl is cool, but having the duplicate on cd will prolong its life for sure. Edit: cds are so cheap now, it's hard not to collect them lol

[@MorganBrandon]

@@NickFortier I agree. I only collect CDs that I’ll listen to. 800 is crazy! I have less than 50😂 Most of the albums I own I have on CD and vinyl. I love collecting CDs because it’s way cheaper than vinyl.

[@BUBBLEGUMGIRLONE]

Keep all your CDs because eventually you won’t find those songs any where. When you get older the radio stations for get about you. Sad to say but it’s true.

[@MorganBrandon]

I download the music from the CDs to my phone so I won’t have to worry about that

[@BUBBLEGUMGIRLONE]

@@MorganBrandon Very good. Keep up the good work. Good video.

[@yodaboyisreal3748]

Bru we have the same amount of cd's lol

[@MorganBrandon]

Woah that’s crazy!

[@gangstamack8397]

Nice I also collect CDs, the sound quality is better than most streaming services
