Took my Big Boi CD out of the digipak (NOT JEWEL CASE DAMMIT) at approx. 7:33am Wednesday morning, btw.

Is it actually a digipak with the hard plastic back, or a cheap-shit all-cardboard number?
― beiber, benz or bentley (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 8 July 2010 14:48 (fifteen years ago)
There's a jewel case version for the non-suckers going for cheap, and there's a digipak (no hard plastic, all cardboard) with TWO BONUS TRACKS OMG and a DVD or something also (I never play those things).
― ilxor has truly been got at and become an ILXor (ilxor), Thursday, 8 July 2010 14:49 (fifteen years ago)
the slow switch to all cardboard is the worst thing that's happened to "physical media" since Napster. What a fucking cancer
― beiber, benz or bentley (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 8 July 2010 14:50 (fifteen years ago)
Are you kidding? The slow backing away from the restrictive jewel case format is fantastic. Cardboard is only a problem if you toss around your CDs haphazardly and generally treat them like shit. A jewel case is like putting a thick, plastic case around your iPhone -- that shit is only for people who can't bother to treat an item nicely and keep it in good shape.
― ilxor has truly been got at and become an ILXor (ilxor), Thursday, 8 July 2010 15:07 (fifteen years ago)
ya jewel cases are so awful
they break so easy too

great thread so far

Thank you kindly for your contribution.
― ilxor has truly been got at and become an ILXor (ilxor), Thursday, 8 July 2010 15:10 (fifteen years ago)
For people that have large CD collections/stacks of promos that come in the mail, cardboard cases are worthless because you put another CD on top of it and it goes flat.
― beiber, benz or bentley (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 8 July 2010 15:12 (fifteen years ago)
I don't live in a world where my CDs can only be vertical at all times
― beiber, benz or bentley (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 8 July 2010 15:13 (fifteen years ago)
Is the CD case you're putting on top of it made of solid lead or something?
― Matt DC, Thursday, 8 July 2010 15:13 (fifteen years ago)
best ones are the cardboard sleeves with the plastic cd tray imo
― ciderpress, Thursday, 8 July 2010 15:14 (fifteen years ago)
I suggest shelves.
xxp
― ilxor has truly been got at and become an ILXor (ilxor), Thursday, 8 July 2010 15:14 (fifteen years ago)
OMG SOMETIMES THERE'S MORE THAN ONE!!!!
― beiber, benz or bentley (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 8 July 2010 15:14 (fifteen years ago)
ilxor, am I correct in assuming that music publicists don't send you CDs for any reason whatsoever?
let's hold on to the world's worst packaging format as to not inconvenience some shelf-less music journalists.
― young werther's originals (s1ocki), Thursday, 8 July 2010 15:16 (fifteen years ago)
??? aren't cardboard cases already flat? what do you mean they "go flat"?
feel like tuomas here
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 8 July 2010 15:16 (fifteen years ago)
xpost i said digipaks were OK
― beiber, benz or bentley (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 8 July 2010 15:17 (fifteen years ago)
if you think cheap all-cardboard is better than a digipak, than I don't know what, sl0cki
let's just say, you can take the BIG BOI cd out of the jewel case, but you can't take the jewel case out of the BIG BOI cd
― young werther's originals (s1ocki), Thursday, 8 July 2010 15:18 (fifteen years ago)
Yup. But I have enough CDs that I might as well be being sent them by the truckload. Why does it matter how they are acquired?
― ilxor has truly been got at and become an ILXor (ilxor), Thursday, 8 July 2010 15:20 (fifteen years ago)
Because you're not getting giant piles of CDs in the mail every single day.
If you had to deal with getting 30 CDs in a day instead of one, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be all fucking nerdlinger about, "let me meticulously organize these 30 valuable promotional items on my shelf as that is what I am dying to do with my time right now"
― beiber, benz or bentley (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 8 July 2010 15:23 (fifteen years ago)
You would put that shit in a pile.
― beiber, benz or bentley (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 8 July 2010 15:24 (fifteen years ago)
Maybe you ought to throw away 29 of those 30 CDs and put the 30th CD on a motherfucking shelf.
― ilxor has truly been got at and become an ILXor (ilxor), Thursday, 8 July 2010 15:24 (fifteen years ago)
Cool, it's the job of every good music journalist to make a split decision about every CD that comes in the mail without listening to it as to save space, you horse's ass
― beiber, benz or bentley (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 8 July 2010 15:25 (fifteen years ago)
Well, I wouldn't expect you to hear 30 CDs in a day. Why not pick 4-5, then? Maybe you should review 1,000 promo CDs in a year based on the promo packaging alone. That might be equally worthwhile/amusing?
― ilxor has truly been got at and become an ILXor (ilxor), Thursday, 8 July 2010 15:27 (fifteen years ago)
Review 1,000 CDs based on the % increase in flattening of the cardboard when placed into your stacks.
― ilxor has truly been got at and become an ILXor (ilxor), Thursday, 8 July 2010 15:28 (fifteen years ago)
have you considered asking for tapes instead? might be easier to shelve/store

so glad the disc still has a nudie lady on it, some traditions should always be kept. wonder if idlewild and class of 3000 keep this up.
― fuque santa cruz (a hoy hoy), Thursday, 8 July 2010 23:52 (fifteen years ago)
feel better disposed to this album already seeing that cover
― r|t|c, Friday, 9 July 2010 00:24 (fifteen years ago)
yeah that terrible cover is much less awful than the terrible CD cover
lol at Whiney thinking all music packaging decisions should be based on what people who get hundreds a week for free will do with them
