Phew, that's expensive! 24 USD for an album?Hdtracks/7digital are good sources if you are looking to purchase replacement but if you are anything like me, I really didn't want to spend extra to purchase albums AGAIN. So I second the suggestion @Jimbob54 made.
Switch to streaming services!! Qobuz is my preference. Discovering new music became do-able for me when I quit limiting myself with my physical albums.
There was a time when i was living the struggle and couldnt afford qobuz/Tidal so i had to make free trials every month with a new email lol.
Also there are tools/applications for intercepting or ripping FLAC files that you stream with a streaming service account. But if you are going this far you might as well torrent the albums haha. Don't do that tho. Support the music industry please.
I admit I haven't bought a CD in decades but I remember they cost the equivalent of 15-16 USD.
