Now That You've Ripped Your Entire Collection...

~

So, you've ripped your entire collection of CDs to the hard drive, and you're blissfully streaming music for hours without having to fetch the silver discs. Everything was transferred with 'bit perfect' perfection.

What did you do with your collection of physical media?

If you've kept the CD collection, why?

If you got rid of the collection, why?, and what did you do with it?

Trying to make a decision here.

My CDs are now in boxes in the garage. My CD player used to be on 24-7. A few weeks after I put the CDs in the garage, I noticed the CD player was on. I turned it off.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you considering tossing your CD collection to garbage? You might consider giving them to your local library.

Mabonn - funny.

Kijanki - Of course I wouldn't just toss them in the garbage!

I wouldn't mind keeping them -- you never know when you might need them again, such as if better tech for ripping comes along -- but I don't know where I'd put all the boxes. I'd sell them, but it would have to be in lots, 'cause there's no way I'm going to sell them one-by-one. Or, donate them.

I suppose another way of asking the question is: Once you ripped your entire collection to disk, did you ever find a reason to have the CDs around?
