Let’s talk about media collections: How do you keep your library of your favorite movies and TV shows? (beehaw.org)

I recently started buying movies on Vudu. I was struggling for a long time with whether or not I wanted to collect media on physical disks or digitally.

Right now that’s what I’m doing but there’s always the looming fear of anything I buy being taken away if the service gets shut down.

I’m curious how others keep their media collections. Are you a Blu-ray or 4k UHD collector? Do you use a digital service like Vudu or something similar?

Tell me your thoughts!

I don't really watch movies or TV Shows, but I'm really big into music. I try to download all of the music that I care about, and I listen to it through Jellyfin or Navidrome. I keep all of the files on my server in digital form, although I do own some records on vinyl.

Do you tend to get FLAC releases through Qobuz/7digital/bandcamp, or do you stick with MP4s from iTunes or MP3s from else where? I tend to grab FLAC releases myself or get the music I want on disc to rip them into FLAC through Exact Audio Copy.

It's a mix between getting 320Kbps mp3s and FLACs from soulseek and buying from artist websites/bandcamp/qobuz/amazon.

When I was in highschool I also used to be on piratebay and a few other websites for my music so I have a lot from that time period too lol.

Oh that’s cool! Self-hosting is something I’m curious about.
