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

I'm in the process of ripping my CD collection. I don't think I will ever part with the physical discs though, for a number of reasons:

i) If I ever need to rip them again for whatever reason, they are there.

ii) I still need the physical disc if I want to play it in the car, portable player, etc.

iii) If you rip a CD to your computer then sell it, it raises the question of whether you still legally own it.

Plus I just feel more comfortable if I have them. They don't take up that much space and they wouldn't fetch much if I sold them.

I put mine in plastic containers and put them in the garage. If I ever lost my drives for some reason I would want to be able to burn them again. And the future is the future, you never know if you might need to burn them again a better way or onto another format of some kind.

I still buy and trade used cd's and will undoubtedly do so for several years to come. Take them to your local record/cd store and they'll give you a buck or so for the good ones....or keep them around for the cd revival of 2033, right after the Great Cloud Collapse of 2029. LOL

Have u seen some of the prices their getting on eBay ?

I will go ahead and make the offer to keep any and all of yours, or anyones cd's in a safe place. I will even mail them back to you if the time ever arrises that you need them back. Just saying :)
