fretmeister Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 What do you do with them? eBay, or forum sales or charity shop donations? I have loads I doubt I'll ever listen to again, but I'm not sure I can be bothered to list 200 items when it seems an awful lot of CDs on eBay only make 99p! Anyone used services like Music Magpie?

flyfisher Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I buy CDs, immediately rip them to my PC then put the CD in a box in the attic. I figure that if I sell them or give them away then I no longer have any right to listen to them because that would be effectively the same as just copying them for free. Since my hard drive can easily store all my music and my attic can easily store all my CDs then there's little point wasting my time by sorting through my collection to throw out stuff I rarely listen to, so I don't.

[/quote] Relatively little effort for nearly £200! I'm loathe to get rid of CDs but if I have to I generally give them to the charity shop. It warms the soul.

[/quote] I'm currently in the middle of ripping all my CDs to my hard drive and will be putting all the discs in the loft, I wouldn't want to sell in case my hard drive went pear shaped and I couldn't retrieve them all. It's great fun finding all those CDs I haven't seen for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I sold all my discs on ebay about 2 years ago but if I buy one I rip it to my MP3 player and put the disc in the cupboard and forget about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I find stuff comes full circle. The Clash & the New York Dolls were my favourite bands at one point but I reckon they've been played about 3 times in the last 15yrs. If space is the problem Amazon marketplace to make money or charity shop if you just want shot of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfisher Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I'm surprised the music industry hasn't decided that baby boomers selling off their record/CDs collections is another reason for their falling sales and try to get such things made illegal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
