Over the last 2 years I've bought over 1300 DVDs (and blue rays) and over 600 CD's.

I've also got loads of retro games (from atari 2600 up to ps4) on cartridge and CD.

I want to own my own medi., I've seen too many examples of things being edited, censored or banned, and I want to have the original.

Plus, I don't have to deal with adverts, reduced quality, lack of internet or monthly charges. Most of the films and music I got came from charity shops for virtually free (some shops do 5 or 10 dvds for the equivalent of $1.

Most people think I'm insane :) but they can go do face scans to listen to their favorite metal album on Spotify, I'll carry on doing my thing :)

Make sure to rip as many as you can to make digital back ups in case the physical copy degrades. Also with these digital copies you can use things like Jellyfin to host your own media server (essentially your own netflix with your content, free of charge). There are also emulators for different gaming systems so, be sure to check that out as well.

I do that, all music goes to flac files. I haven't done the home media server thing yet, I need to figure that out but I have a really nice little player that has good sound and fits in my pocket :)
