Greetings,
As happy as I am that many new titles are being put to vinyl, many for the very first time. there are more still that will never get this treatment. More specifically, releases on Cleopatra and Cargo/Reconstriction that were cd only and most likely wouldn't be good investments for a repress.
As I would like to own these again, I am unsure about how the best way to go about it.
A) Buy a CD player (Looking at used CD6005) and pick up the cd's for $1-2 each on amazon, ebay, discogs.
B) Buy a cheap laptop and a DAC to run itunes, then buy cheap cd's, rip and chuck them into the cloud.
I haven't owned a cd (other than my own self produced album to which I have the final copy) in 15 years but then DAC's can be expensive and I would need an outlet to fire the files into the sky.
I am an Apple Music subscriber but none of these titles are on there. Many are on Spotify but am not looking to have 2 payments every month.
