Will you continuing buying CDs selectively alongside downloading, for reasons of completing certain artists or genres? it is fun to find random half-remembered boxes of media. Will you leave them as a record of 80s/90s to early 00s buying? i am sure that eventually i will convert everything to flacs and be done with the physical objects. i think the best way to purge is just to continuously edit. like others here i still enjoy the physical artifact though organizing and moving it all is a chore and not nearly as exciting as it once was. I have been thinking about a big purge lately, but i find it really difficult to part with archives. Will you bother trying now to sell off your existing CDs? But then, I rarely find myself impressed by such singles artists and even less frequently cite them as influential either in my continued study (as it were) of music or their impact on their peers. I think the only thing that sabotages the argument is artists that don't deliberately set out to make an album per se (and are, by design singles artists).

I wholeheartedly agree and it's the single greatest driver of my continued purchasing of CDs. People need to see an entire album as an artistic statement, and not just pick single tracks. The external drive, as I still had (and have!) a vast majority of my music on CD, I didn't look into salvaging b/c it just didn't have a pulse (i.e., it'd turn on sometimes, but usually not, or wouldn't get recognized by any of my PCs/Macs) and given the aforementioned expense and lack of the necessity above, just wasn't worth saving. I only say "apparent" b/c, well, it didn't seem to improve my grades much (sigh). I had the internal drive repaired out of apparent necessity (it held all of my class notes/outlines and crashed a week ahead of my first year law school exams). When you say fail do you mean it was completely beyond repair/no way to salvage at all? It's only going to get better over the next few years, too.


So much stuff that I would never expect to find in used shops. As others have mentioned, there are so many good finds on used CDs right now, it's great.

I'll keep my CDs as much more than just a record of this particular time, as they have fucking music on them!!ģ. I'd rather hang on to the album, sorry, then take your 50 cents.Ģ. Most used stores never offer very much for CDs, and now when I think about it, the best offer I've ever received (about $3 for a CD, not common at all) is just not worth it to me. Plus, it always killed me when I tried to sell stuff that I knew was of really high musical quality or that someone would love to have, and the clerk would offer a pathetic couple of bucks (usually less!) for it. I used to regularly purge my collection of stuff if I hadn't played it in awhile, but there are too many CDs that I'm kicking myself now for selling then. I stopped selling back CDs a few years ago, because I tend to regret it later on.

First off, CDs are still the primary way i listen to music, and I don't download very often.ġ.) I'll hang onto my CDs for a long, long time, until they rot away (none of them have).
