    Buy Blu-rays. Highly underrated.

    • The sound and video quality is the best you’ll get anywhere.
    • It selectively supports the movies and artists you like.
    • You get amazing extras and documentaries about the movie.
    • Nobody can take the movie away from you.
    • You can rip the disc with MakeMKV to view digitally with Jellyfin.

        I think basically that’s it. I don’t even have a CD player to rip my own CDs

        Edit: guess that’s on me, though

          Do you have a tower PC? I have a stack of DVD read/write drives +/- that I need to get rid of pretty soon, I won’t have a place to store them after the next couple of months. I’d offer to ship you one, but I have to put an asterisk in there. The last time I offered to ship a guy some RAM it turned out there was a lot of international barriers and it was going to cost me about 10 times what the RAM was worth to ship it to him, with no guarantee he’d actually receive it. So… ?

            I have a tower pc or two, but I gotta go pick it from the attic, hose it down, and then see if the cd tray still works
            But I appreciate your reply, even if I took my time to reply Farewell, friend 🙏

      I have too many Blu-rays with unskippable ads at the start. I really don’t need to be shown ads for movies that came out 5 years ago before being allowed to watch the movie I purchased and own.

        You can always skip the movie trailers if you have the right player. I have 300+ blue-rays and not a single one has unskippable trailers. There are also players that’ll skip them automatically. Besides, you can just rip the disc and remove the ads.
