In the past, I've mostly listened to music through streaming services. In 2022, I bought my first two records, both modern reissues. A copy of Outkast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below and a copy of More Songs about Buildings and Food by Talking Heads. Since then I've added more records to my collection, some new, some old, some common, some rare. I've also started collecting tapes and CDs. My CD collection started mostly by buying cheap greatest hits compilation albums from Goodwill. In 2024 my parents gave me much of their old CD collection, which doubled my collection.
