Curious if anyone else collects movies virtually on Apple? If so, how many do you have? I’m currently at 1477 movies.🍿 🎥
I bought a couple of albums on Apple Music. They’re no longer available to me. If it’s not on your shelf, all you’re buying is access to their file and you own NOTHING. Good day, sir!
This shit gets boring, this wasn’t what was asked. But the anti-digital media crowd always have to pop their head out and echo the same thing over and over and over. Even when nobody asked.
What does Apple Music have to do with anything? And if you are so concerned with your access just download the music files?
I thought about it, but i prefer to collect movies via Plex. Cheaper, and more chances to still own it 40 years later.
What if i don’t like Apple anymore in 20 years? 40 years? I’ll lose everything.
At least i know i’ll still have my library (maybe still on external hard drives like today, or a new format coming in the future).
Physical collector and digital (iTunes UK) collector too. Mainly horror/sci-fi and always on the lookout for good deals on 4k and HD releases.

Just over 10000 now. Love the multiples…
Yep. They have some great deals. I have a couple of hundred already.
Just wish you could download them to your Apple TV and have the option to watch them without the internet.
I wonder if there’s a way to download them to an external drive and get it to play through the box?
Just starting out. 52 movies.
I have over 400 in my Apple TV library. Quality is great and many I bought as HD have been automatically upgraded to 4K. My only wish would be a better way to organise on the Apple TV itself. On the Mac app it’s possible to create playlists e.g. by director or series. Sadly they don’t sync to the Apple TV box. Scrolling through 400 movies is a chore.
I hope with the new iTunes/Apple TV refresh we get these options. I would KILL to be able to label movies with genres, the current ones are AWFUL. Pirates of the Caribbean isn’t a horror movie lol
Yes, but not through Apple. I still pay for the best cable package available. I pay for pretty much every streaming service out there, and pay for HD/4K. But everything I watch (outside of sports, which I watch through my Apple TV through the Channels app and a couple of HD Homeruns I have) is through Plex using files I’ve “acquired”. Nothing I’ve watched in the past decade has been something that hasn’t been available through one of those services. But it allows me to have one place for all of my media, organized how I want it, and keeps track of things much better.
I’ve recently started to build a collection again, I used to have a large physical collection in the early 2000s but then cleared it all out in my minimalist phase.
I pretty much only buy 4K movies I like that are on offer on Apple TV app and relevant bundles, I’ve accrued about 100 movies in 6 months.
About 250. I’ve purchased all of them via the appletv app. I tend to wait for sales and scoop them up when they are around $5.
2,153… lol though I still collect physical and find that WAY more superior.
Wow! Nice work! I still have some physical especially the special edition movies since I love some of the packaging.
Yeah, the special features, lossless audio and higher quality video (let alone you ACTUALLY OWN the physical disc movie) is why I still prefer physical.
Just over 2500 now and thanks to sales and codes I don’t think I’ve paid more than $5 for the vast majority of those. I still buy the occasional physical copy but that collection has dwindled to 1/10 of what it used to be. Digital is just so damned convenient.
Bit over 1,700 at the moment (Yay for multibuy offers).
Would be more, but some of them I’ve re-designated as TV since they’re sequels/prequels to television series (such as Serenity for Firefly).TV shows, I’ve breached the 500 shows barrier (Star Trek counts for a dozen alone) and for music, over 400 music albums/10,000 songs (yes, there are duplicates…).
And all this requires 4 external hard-drives…
