How do you store and catalog your vinyl?
The most egregious job I ever had related to this hobby was ripping all my CDs so I could stream them and put the physical copies away. It was such a time-consuming, mind-numbing chore that I gave up part way through, had a local "cd-ripping company" rip the last few hundred.Of course they did a crap job, getting tons of tags wrong, so I had to redo a lot there and finish off ripping more CDs. Very glad that's behind me, and I very rarely buy CDs anymore. |
Prof. I hear you on the CD ripping, pretty soul destroying. I limited myself to 15 to 20 a day max. Still took forever it seemed. And still had to go in and fix some bad tags, that was really depressing! I must admit to having bought a LOT lately though with thrift shops near giving them away! And they have never sounded so good as of late through my C.E.C transport. |
Absolutely unbelievable! https://www.discogs.com/Pink-Floyd-The-Dark-Side-Of-The-Moon/release/2318072 And I thought I paid a lot for it at a dive record store in Fargo, North Dakota about 3 years ago at $69! Holy cow! |
Got to say Discogs has been a lifesaver. Or at least a money saver as my memory fades and it saves me buying the same album over and over. While cataloging for the first time I found I had three copies of dream of the blue turtles!! Now I also use it to randomly chose an album for me to play. Course that’s only half the battle, it does not help me find it.... lol. Those old jukeboxes definitely had something going for them. |
