I grabbed a USB BluRay player, which happens to work great as a CD player/ripper as well.

Thrift shops, library shops, and even second hand "media" shops are everywhere and completely drowning in CDs. (DVDs too but that's another story)

For a couple bucks, you can go grab an armload of CDs, rip them, play them whatever, and donate them back or resell them, get yourself some random seeds for music discovery.

Yep I see the same thing, thrift stores are drowning in stacks of CDs and selling them for super cheap. It will not be like this forever and feels like a golden age right now to snag good CDs.
