Am I the only one here that still buys only CDs??

[nailz]

I will dl'd music off iTunes only if it won't break my heart if I lose it... but the stuff I absolutely LOVE, I have on CD...

You do know you can

1. Back up your iTunes folder
2. Re-download purchased material.

For those of you who still appreciate CDs and records, be sure to visit http://www.recordstoreday.com/Home and go occupy a local record store next weekend.

Very cool! There is a teeny weeny little heavy metal record store in Vienna VA (the Vienna Music Exchange) that I'll have to occupy on that day.

A.K.A. The bedroom metal shop. I've been there a few times. CD Cellar in Falls Church is also worth checking out. I know they're running some specials that day.

The only used CD shop in the area worth a damn anymore.

I've had good luck at McKays used books in Manassas too. Hmmm, maybe I should stop listing my sources before you all swoop in and take my precious metal.

Nah.. Manassas is a bit too far for me. I miss McKays, tho, when they were in Centreville.

Anyone notice the used CD's on Ebay are becoming more expensive? Use to get many of them for roughly 5.00 or so, but now with the increase seller fee's and this "free shipping," I have noticed prices creeping up.

But you get free shipping!!!

Cannot believe i didn't chime in on this. Yes, i still buy cds as if they were crack cocaine. i have a problem and i know this. My database program says i currently have 10,534 CDs cataloged in my system.

Over the past few days I've learned that there are people who actually keep databases of CD's they own.

When your collection is closing on 6000 discs databases are a necessity. Here is mine: http://connect.collectorz.com/users/mcharris/music/view

You should see my DVD-R database... 2200 strong.

 

[templeofmax]

How do you guys catalog all this stuff???

Hey! I'm assuming these are live shows on DVD-R? If you trade, send me your contact info. I have 1300+ and counting. Thanks!

 

[farren]

Heh man, I wish... I'm afraid they're almost entirely old PC/console games I'll never play It was a bit off-topic, but hey, it's still a database to manage...

i only buy cds....never buy mp3s. I want to be able to rip it to FLAC if i want to or any format i choose.

 

[Diamond45]

I do a mix of MP3s and CDs. As of right now I'm limited in storage space, but that will change starting in June

I maintain an Excel spreadsheet of the CDs that I own as well. Looks like I'm not the only one who maintains a database of their CDs

Oh I know but it's more like 'hey for some reason this song won't play on my iPod. I'll fix it when I get home' against 'I WANNA HEAR THAT SONG NOW!!!! WHERE DID IT GO?!?!?!?! IT'S NOT ON MY IPOD!?!?!?!?!? WTF IS HAPPENING?!?!?!!?'

 

[Riceloft]

I only buy CDs. I rip most of them to 256 bit MP3 so I can load up a DVD to play in my work laptop, but everywhere else I listen to the CD.

 

[Justin G]

I just use Excel. It helps that I started when I had less than 100 CDs.

Cataloging collections of any kind isn't a strange, or even new, concept at all....
Discogs is a total life saver!
