Not talking music - but I can just imagine how awesome if I had that for some of my old games that still came with proper manuals and extras.
That sounds like me. I used to collect limited edition, numbered press albums. I'd rip them to lossless audio files and only listen to that. My prized possession is a 1000x copy press of a band's EP + album combo, both both fitting into a neat matt black box with beautiful artwork by renowned metal artist Necrolord. I've seen them sell for a couple of thousand ZARs on eBay and the like. This is the only album pair I've never spun the discs of - I bought seperate jewelcase versions of the albums for listening pleasure.
