Put at least one in the microwave. Pretty cool light show.

If you have dvd’s open a Vudu account and you can convert them for about 2 bucks a piece to digital. Blu-ray is 5 dollars. You can buy a good quality CD players for about $150 on eBay. Would not throw them away.

I have hundreds as well. Both our vehicles have CD players and for a while I was rotating through the collection to decide which to keep. Now I realize none are really worth keeping.

There is a second hand store here (McKay's) that will buy them, but probably for less than the time/gas money.

I hung on to mine for years and years but they just sat and took up space. I ended up throwing them out.

Sometimes you just gotta let stuff go

I buy new CDs all the time.

What genres of music did you listen to? Are they in good shape? I might be interesting in looking through them. I bought a bunch from Blues Lover before he moved to Ecuador.

There’s a whole lot of randomness in there - plenty of Pearl Jam, DMB, Guns N Roses and Metallica. Musicals and movie soundtracks, jazz, classic rock and everything in between.

Nothing in original cases - all in two of those large zip-up binders from case logic.

My wife’s car has the CD player, but we both just use Apple Music mostly. Opening it today was a walk down memory lane - I used to buy CDs so often (so much that I ended up getting a job at Wherehouse Music back in the early 2000’s).

To me the easiest thing is to give them away to someone who will use them rather than throw them away. I guess if there’s cash involved too that’s even better.

Throw em in a box and torrent each album... I did. I figured I bought them so it's not pirating... just faster the download them than rip them..

I keep looking for ace of base and I don't see it.

Maybe it's in the everything in between category.

I’m never throwing away my remastered Pink Floyd The Wall dual cd box set. Never.




Ever.

I looked through the collection this morning, and...no Ace of Base.

My deepest and sincerest apologies.

I have a big box of old tapes too. Not sure why I've never tossed them out. I haven't bought a CD or tape in many years.


You can’t get rid of those old mix tapes ? Too sentimental? I can’t clown you. I still have mine for some reason. One day I may need to breakout those old Air Supply tapes for something.

I have a bad habit of impulse buying CDs every time I go to Target or somewhere. It's like a compulsion, I still have to browse the music


Same here, kinda stopped though. Started impulse buying 2-3 years ago, mostly online including eBay.

Got me a new cd player too, sounds amazing. Great purchase for $150.

So I have this cd collection dating back to the 90's, maybe 250 cd's or so. My car does not have a cd player, so I ended up buying an external cd player for $90 and paid a electronics shop to install it inside my glove compartment for $80. Bargain.

So instead of getting rid of all my cd's I still listen to them at home and in my car.

Sweet hobby for me at least.
