Have you ever...

...been amazed to find you own a cd that you were completely unaware of?

That happens to me entirely too often.



Maybe I should stop buying cds for a while.

That doesn't happen to me very often because I keep a careful inventory of my collection

This post made me laugh! I too have been there. I am very organized but moving around a lot you somehow lose things, like the sock in the dryer thing. I have been looking at my CD's or DVD's and came across one I did not even know I owned. Or the worse is when you have not seen the CD for a long time and miss it and are convinced you no longer have it and order another and it happens to be OOP and then suddenly you find it. But the best is looking for something and running across one and you did not realize you owned it. Those days I love! :Spin: ~Alison

Yes. Relapse records used to have this deal where for $20 you could get 10 random CDs. I think I did that deal like 4 times, so periodically I would look through stacks of CDs and find ones still wrapped. Its like Christmas, only not, at all.

sometimes i run across a cd and wonder why i havent thrown it away yet...

 

[Loner]

No, although I do occasionally rediscover a disc I didn't really enjoy at first.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

absolutely it happens to me all the time...

my latest was:

and if Larf03 knows this album he wins such a good bonus point

I've never heard of that band (I would guess old thrash by the cover though) but that is the greatest cd name ever.

I don't usually get rid of bad cds, unless I can trade for something good, like Horror Show for Gateways of Annihilation.

I go through stages of disarray and neurotic organization. Currently I'm ripping every one of my cds to a new harddrive, and then organizing every mp3 on my computer to match the format of Metal\"Band Name"\"Cd Name"\"Track Number"_"Song Name". Then I'm going to put my cds into alphabetical/chronological (band by name, cds by release date) and recount the the number of cds, demos, lps, tapes I have. After I'm done fixing my ipod I'll probably record all of my tapes (like 20-30) to mp3 and then cut them into individual mp3s and label them.

Why don't people tell you that ipods crash for no reason?! Bah! I have to copy 6000 songs individually to my harddrive so I can reset it. I got 2000 more to do by tuesday....bah!

I traded my friend Nemesis Divina and was positive I traded for it back eventually, but couldnt find it. Luckily after a year of thinking I was insane I found it. Except my bastard friends keep everything in those cd holders that just have sleeves, so they lose the paper that goes in the back of the jewel case (cd case for those of you who have been using computers for less than 10 years).

I wish I could say I havn't found wrapped cds. Although that relapse deal sounds pretty nice.

No, although I do occasionally rediscover a disc I dodn't reallt enjoy at first.

This happens a ton to me. Vintersorg, Negura Bunget, Carved in Stone, Nevermore (for the first 70 seconds of Dead Heart the song), and some others I can't seem to recall but I'm sure exist. didn't impress me immidietly.

Another (but slightly less worrying) problem is just forgetting to listen to bands. Especially the bands I've been listening to the longest like Testament, Sepultura, Nevermore. I can go months without thinking to listen to them, which is really a shame. I recently just found Susperia - Vindication whilst ripping my cds, and had to listen to it, having forgotten how godly it was.

Edit:Goddamn I hate that ipod, goddamn.

Exholder were, indeed, a thrash metal band. That album was released around 1990, I believe. They deserve respect, if only for having a song by the name Anal Lust.
