Would you? I have been debating it, but the ffort of listing and posting them aside im not sure i could part with them. They are nice too look at and people who just rip them, well then you have to sit at a computer to listen to them, you cant' lend em to a mate or put ti on the cd player downstairs.. i wish i could sell em i would prolly make a fair few quid. |

i never listen to my cds..i'd probably keep all my aphex and autechre ones, but appart from that i couldn't care less. and that means i don't give a flying fug about a lot of music :) |
||||||||

i dont listen to mine loads but still its kinda like some mental thing that wont let me sell them, maybe its just a lack of trust for harddrives. |
||||||||
|

|
i couldn't do it, cd's may not be permanent but they're more stable than cdr or a hard drive. i think of the collection as a library, i'd rather see it expand. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, i know what you mean..i've never sold a cd, not even the worst one that i would never ever listen to. but, i don't think it'd be that difficult to get rid of them now if i needed to.. |

I went through a phase of trying to sell them (to pay for vinyl), but when I realised what insultingly low prices I was getting for absolutely mint condition ones (£1 at most stores), I stopped. I don't buy many CDs now. Mostly vinyl and if something's CD only I feel little guilt in just DLing the MP3s, but if I listen to it often I'll buy a copy. |
||||||||

i go through phases, too. i might not listen to any stereolab for a year, then listen to them a lot for a month. i'd hate to say "i haven't listened to this for ages, i'll sell it", and then later wish i still had the cd. i suppose it make a difference that i generally don't pirate music, so i don't have a soulseek library. |

I downlaod alot of albums but everything i downalod that i really liek i walways buy it on cd. I tend to downlaod an album if i really like it then i will go out and buy it on cd. I am starting to think maybe i should sell them because as much as i love them as some sort of ego display (hey check me out with my cool taste) its kinda silly. If there was a way i could keep them and not have to do it via a risky external HD i prolly would sell them. 250 cd's £2 each = 500 quid |

i gave one cd away (it was a metallica cd that i ahted) and i felt bad even for that. I mean i still have blink 182 and sum41 from when i was a youngen and parting with them would be just as hard as parting with one si actually listen to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, i wouldnt sell mine. not even bad ones.. just cant the point in getting some cds and selling them... when i cant make a decision on something, a good way to decide what to do is to think which option i would regret more. in your case. selling all of your cds... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its mental though, i have some cd's that i havent even listened to yet. I bought a few classics that i had on mp3 but was missing form my actual cd collection such as mogwai - young team, faith no more - angel dust. I havent played the actual cd of either. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
same with me. i don't even know why i still buy cds, i think it may be for when im old or something, for the memories perhaps, dunno really. im really shit with music listening. i'd download or buy an album, usually give it one quick listen, meaning skip through parts of tracks and just move to a new album, sucks really, but i can't get out of the loop. im thinking i might miss something out, something real brilliant or something. here and there it happens i find something i really enjoy and then i normally listen to it a few more times, but even that passes quite quick.. |

hmm. yah. if you're up for it. and you reckon youd get more out of selling your cds than keeping em for whatever reason... then sure. sell them (dunno about ALL of them tho) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
if you're a music lover, never sell your album collection... you'll regret it later. |

My external hard drive doesnt seem to be recognised by the computer as of today, so my fondness for CDs has shot up |
||||||||
|
|

I'll have to get rid of em if i move to Japan perm, i will be saying bye to them for at elast a year. |

I got rid of a few vintage eurodance records when I was an angsty teen who wanted to hide my musical background. I regret it now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wouldn't, no. i can't cope with all this rripping them computerr stuff and i'd be mildly annoyed if i had to go out and buy a CD forr £12 that i'd sold forr 2 when i decided i'd like to hearr it again. |

Ha ha, I let my elder brother bin a lot of early 90s warp and rave records because I was "not into dance music anymore" and instead, liked wanky guitar music for a couple of years? Everytime I hear LFO - LFO it's like a kick in the teeth. |

I sold some of my records a few years ago. They were pretty awful, but I still kind of regret selling them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fuck that! my CDs are going whereiver I go! whenever i download anything, i put it on CD and print a pretty cover for it, call it obsessive (which it is) but i love having a complete discography of every artist i like all in one place. at the moment they are all just in a pile on the floor - all ~450 of them - too many for the cabinet i used |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but they arre a pain in the arrse, so arre DVDs and books forr that matterr, i'm sick of living with all this stuff on the walls and floorr, stuff just generrally in my way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes sell them all!!! get rid of them and get VINYLS instead, CD's are for pussies! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you havent got the space for them they do get annoying funny thing is, i have so many CDs but i barely ever listen to them. i use my mp3 player for everything, even attach it to my hifi |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my cd's were kept in the drawer for a about 6months its only recntly i managed to stick em in shelves i had no room before. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no way... why the hell would i do that? i'm even keeping some i don't like/listen to anymore, because selling them wouldn't get me a lot of money anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if i don't care about one at all anymore and am sure i'll never want it again, i'll just give it away. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tough descision as you are leaving for japan for 1 year, wait untill that year is up then decide? I listen to cds more than mp3 anyway.. ive got to have them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont think i could actually do it, would feel like severing a limb. What a materialistic git i am hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would never sell my cd's. An mp3-folder is a sorry music collection |
||||||||
|

Never sell your cds, books, vinyls.... They're where you come from. |
||||||||

I must agree with r40f, plaidzebra, and the other old fashioned folks here.. I can't imagine ever selling a CD. Please don't sell your CDs unless you are truly dying of starvation. Otherwise it'd be like selling a piece of your soul.. it's not an ego display.. I mean, maybe you'd like it to be but I've found that nobody really cares anyway. It's for YOU. These are the closest you'll get to tangible memories long after those ephemeral mp3's vanish into the digital void.. after say the 3,000th hard drive crash in 2050. What ever happened to good ol' commodity fetishism? I browse in awe over my parents' decaying vinyl collection.. it's amazing, it's like a time capsule. Trust me, you're going to want them later. |

CDs mean precious little to me now, I only really buy new ones to be a good citizen, I never listen to them and they're just useless slabs of plastic to me. But I'd never sell the ones I already have, I'm a packrat by nature. Be it I Mother Earth, Moist, or the Presidents of the United States of America, I'll never sell that shit. I save everything, every magazine I've ever had, every toy I used to get from McDonalds. CDs just don't have a mystique about them though. Although I'm saving them, I doubt they'll mean much to me when I'm older, I'll probably regret dropping so much cash on them. They're ugly and the packaging is tacky. Records are better in that sense, I like the big sleeves and the ambience that wafts off the vinyl. |

yeah, CDs arre tacky. |

I couldn't sell my favourite CDs, but I could without regret give some (I've got some bullshit) CDs or even vinyls to friends. I don't listen to CDs a lot, becuz I usually prefer listening to mp3s : that's just becuz i'm lazy and don't wanna get up from my chair and go and take the Cd in the cupboard. It's not the same with vinyl : it's always funny to watch them spin. =) But perhaps it's becuz i've had a turntable only for 8 months now... Anyway your CDs will go to your children probably, and they'll be glad to be able to listen to awesome music, so please don't prevent them for blasting hard-to-find aphex albums in 2030 !! For those who don't want children or can't get laid, then maybe you could give all your musics to poor children once you're dead. |

haha my kids will listen to chopin and miles davis and other pretentious music SOD APHEX ;) |

It's wierd how we hold on to things as if letting them go might mean the we will forget about them. It's a constant denial of the impermenance of life. It's all fleeting. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yeah you are right, i often think like that but what do you want, human beings have feelings... |
||||||||

I really wish I can sell ALL my cd's one day before I die, even the few vinyl I have, because when I die probably my family will throw all my stuff in the dump (or sell them for $20 the whole lot), so I prefer to spend the (few) money obtained in some bars in Thailand if I ever had kids (wich I doubt), probably they will download the flac version of the stuff I used to listen to, they will look at cd's (and the rest of the phisical media formats) as useless pieces of plastic that only served to make bigger the polution of this world after all, I keep buying cd's... a very hard to get rid of habit |
||||||||
|
|

Anyway, why would i fucking sell my CDs ?? I love them and my vinyls too. Bullshit thread ! |

music becomes an immediate emotional attachment. you will or will not throwaway cds or albums dependant on how where when and or with whom you first heard the music. apart from the fact this will vary from person to person anyway depenadant on their own experiences and hence own subjective view of the world, there is also the possibility that this process can be triggered subconciously (not unconsiously, note the difference). either way however you meant it, it's a completely pointless question if you regard it as a positive sharing experience comparing like with like to gain specific information, or if you meant it as a spotaneus expression of your personality, in order to sustain your credos within the virtual arena of a user defined finite space and time within the company of similar minded people almost ironically having only one specific thing in common. |

on a side note, tape all your cd's on to cassette than throw your cd's away. It is the way forward! |
