It's probably illegal, but I've bought CDs from charity shops, ripped them onto a hard drive, cleaned up/replaced the boxes and brought them back to the charity shop.

This is the way I've found Tom Jones and Jools Holland have made an album together. I love it.

There is some good stuff if you've got the time and are prepared to look.

I'm assuming there's only one charity shop that sells CDs in your area?!

I've found that most of the time it's actually cheaper to buy a physical CD and rip the mp3s. You can get used CDs on eBay and other sites (like Amazon Marketplace) for like £2/3

I've bought some CDs for pence from zoverstocks, which is the retail arm of musicmagpie. In most cases I have the LP.


This is to rip to MP3, then they go off to the charity shop.

I agree about the Bandcamp, especially if you wish to get music of some new band - cimparing with Spotify, it's better because the money goes largely to the artist, not to the middle-man

My family having eclectic musical tastes, I quite often buy the CD (second hand if seriously cheap, new if seriously awkward to obtain), rip it & then we can have the music on MP3 players & sometimes play the disk in the car. (The awkward disks I sell on again.)

A charity shop we visit gets armfuls of the free CDs with sunday magazines & for the pennies involved will buy a disk to get a single track. It usually triggers another wave of "so-&-so have produced X album" & thus off we go down another musical rabbithole.

zoverstocks here I come! thank you!

Try car boot sales... you can pick things up very cheaply.
