I picked up a HUGE pile of music at a nearby thrift store. Not much in the LP area, although I picked up about 20 LPs, all in mint condition. My other pickup was jazz CDs, lots of box sets from the greats in the 1960s and 1970s. Monk, Coltrane, Peterson, Brubeck and a lot more. Selling off most of the CDs as I am a vinyl guy. The person that donated was also into classical music, lots of classical imported vinyl. I picked up about 100CDs, many were multiple CD box sets, so the number of individual CDs is higher.
The thrift stores around here, if you are looking for vintage hifi components or recorded music, you may go months or even a couple of years without finding anything. And then you get a pile, got to strike when they are there.
Basically, finds fund other finds.
Records were 25 cents each, CDs were 75 cents each. A box set was treated the same as an individual title. So the box sets were the best scores.

Cool! Good to know I'm not the only one scrounging for deals. I got back into CDs, especially stuff from the 90s and jazz. I cleaned out their inventory of good records, so I'm set for awhile.
I wish I could describe a typical visit to my local thrift store as "Not much in the LP area, although I picked up about 20 LPs, all in mint condition." 20 mint LPs, heck even VG+ would be a score. I've only found maybe 20 total since they re-opened about 5 years ago.

I'm fortunate. I don't think there are that many people buying used records or CDs here.
The good records started going to eBay when a certain manager took over about 10 years ago.

I've gotten all mine from Friends of the Library, the last couple years. Went to donate books and stuff and there they were.

Instead of going surfing, I went to The Friends of the Library Anniversary sale at their warehouse. I overhead the volunteers talking about it in the store, when I was thumbing through used records. I found them awhile back when I donated books, DVDs, CDs, Laserdiscs, VHSs and other stuff.
85 CDs for $8. 4 art books for $4. Crazy! Best score, yet! They're spread out because I wiped them down.
It's raining, so it's perfect for some music and art. Problem is, I don't know which one to listen first!

Helped an old buddy sort through his dad's house before it's sold the other day. Rescued a few classical CDs, a couple knick-knacks as souvenirs of good times now decades past, and a few records, none of them very good. There were a lot of records, but they all had pretty bad content for my taste lol. Marilyn is a fine novelty keeper at least, hope no mods yell at me for this post! 
In his home town of Durham, North Carolina, my brother is the head of the Durham Friends of the Library and they get inundated with CD's and have to offer bargains like that. I wish I was there rather than Massachusetts!

It's so crazy! The CDs kept piling up! There are 1000s and their good titles too!
Plastic inner? Probably. If it is rounded on one side and shows signs of being perforated across the opposite.
