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

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?

I've kept mine, partly because of the odd copyright law in the UK. Here it is legal to rip CDs you have bought, but you have to then keep them. If you get rid of them, the rip breaches copyight law. I don't think that applies in the US.
Mine are all boxed up in the basement. I am a bit bereft without the daily chore of ripping another 20 or 30 cds, it gave my dull boring existense some meaning, only kidding

A lightning strike, fire or robbery could take out all your hard drives.

If you're going to sell them, I'd do it now. I don't think they are going to appreciate in value.

Keep the wheat and sell the chaf.

If selling, eBay one-by-one? Lot sales? Here on Audiogon?
