Music guys- What have you done with all your CDs? (1 Viewer)

[Mad Cow]

Question for all of you with thousands, anyone have the soundtrack to Secret of my Success? Great 80s tracks. Owned it on cassette years ago. Won't pay the $30 asking price online. If anyone has it, I'll buy it or would love the digital copy.

I know you want the actual CD, but here is what I consider the better version of the 2 soundtracks, just because of Yello.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIfBr5VVTbY

Yeah I've listened to that, I'd just like individual tracks as well.

sold them like 7 years ago. got like 100 bucks for 500 CDs on craigslist. would be lucky to get 10 bucks now I think

A family member sold about 300 or so CDs for $200 on Craigslist a couple years ago in Southern California market.

sounds made up

Why would I make it up?

I still sell discs on Murfie for $3 a pop...so people are still buying discs and paying for them. Not sure why a guy paying 66 cents a disc seems hard to believe.

Agree. Most Craigslist ads that I see are almost always asking > $1 per disc if they're in the jewel cases with artwork.

A lot of those prices seem very high on Murfie. $11 for just one part of a 2 cd album ...that isn't hard to get? wtf

I think $11 is outrageous. I doubt many CDs in those collections are getting sold.

Another vote for Spotify, all my music is there. Cd's are stored in a duffel bag. We occasionally get drunk, start talking about the good old days, and bust the bag out.

I love Spotify, but I seem to be stumbling across more and more artists/albums that aren't on there. Really hoping it doesn't go down the Netflix route and have less and less quality stuff.

Oh, and anybody wanting just to "dump" their CDs, I can PM an address you can send them to.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

I ripped them all to MP3 and put them on my computer, itunes, ipod, etc. Then I sold all the ones that CDWarehouse would buy. I got over $400 for them. This was in 2011 I think.

Yeah. But in case it isn't clear, each owner sets their own prices. It is like an online equivalent of a flea market or garage sale.

Murfie just provides the marketplace, among other things.

 

[Cunk]

I ripped them all then donated the cds to a used bookstore the local library runs.

 

[PIK95]

Save them for your kids. They will be cool again at some point.

Was tough throwing out all my cassettes a couple years ago.I still had cassettes from my early childhood up through high school. Of course, lots of memories, experiences, associated with them. Pretty much every cassette brought back a specific memory, or reminded me of a certain period of my life. Incredibly nostalgic. Felt like I was tossing more than just old cassettes in the trash. Like I was "letting go" of something, but not sure exactly what. Was kind of a sad moment to be honest. I felt like the sad banana.

Still have some cassettes.

I still have the Cornell '77 tape, first bootleg I owned and it burned a hole in my car stereo back in the mid 90's. Unfortunately I don't own a cassette player now, thank goodness for archive.org.

I still have ALL my bootlegs.

Good thread and responses.

I keep them and still buy new ones about as often as I ever really did (which isn't that often). I like the display element to seeing the artwork from a bunch of different artists together in a rack. And as someone said above, the sound quality is in fact superior to MP3s.

I knew I was on the right track with this strategy when an episode of a TV show I mostly hate-watch because the writers are hacks had a scene where the characters walk into a room at a home, see a rack of CDs on display, and one character dismissively says "Hm - old school." Maybe, but thanks for the validation.

For me, the major advantage of MP3s has been the ability to try a single song without having to buy the whole record. But I'm probably missing some good music that way.
