i have been debating this for a while now.
my problem is not that sentimental...although each one represents a trip to the store, a gift from a girlfriend, or whatever.. im more concerned with having a hard copy back up in case my hard drives fail or get stolen or lost
however, i realize i can no longer afford to keep moving and storing this stuff. ive moved at least 15 times in the past 20 years. i never play the CDs. I hate listening to CDs because i have become so used to arranging the digital files into playlists that i enjoy much more. When i want to hear the entire album or look at artwork, i have quite a bit of vinyl
i rarely have regrets. but doing this feels like i am going to regret it. its not like this collection came about over night....25 years of overspending and hunting them down and alot of parties
how about you? do you ever look back and get mad that your CD collection is gone? i realize this is a personal choice and we all feel different about such things...just wondering.
