Having ripped all our CD collection and put it on a NAS, I’m left with hundreds of the buggers.

What is the bets way to get rid?

preferably to get some money back for them

is musicmagpie OK?

Keep them as a backup?

Otherwise face getting back circa 1-2% of purchase price…

Bring them this way. I’ve started buying them again recently for some reason.

I may be interested depends what you have?

Frisbee?

I buy off Music Magpie’s ebay sales, great value. They’d probably give you 50p for the good ones!

Noting that your ripped collection is illegal (if you’re in the UK). Only the original CDs are legit, though you have to play them and not the copies.

This despite the ability to copy music about in digital format, store in the cloud etc. Still no provision in UK copyright law for this, including shifting formats for personal use, despite many attempts to try. Reason why? Industry pressure.

Anything good?

Which is all fine, but one of the reasons why it persists is people like the OP who want to sell on the IP whilst keeping a copy of it for their own use! That will never become legal, which is one of the reasons updating the law to allow reasonable use is difficult.

I’ve put all my cds into a wallet and thrown away the cases, now I don’t mind keeping them
I’ll probably end up doing the same with my dvds, they’re not with doing anything else with

I scanned a few into magpie, they were coming up 10p, 30p etc most of them were in cracked cases, probably had the odd scratch and gave up on the idea.

They went in the recycling in the end. Not all of them straight away. They’re fun to microwave }:-)

What wukfit said. That’s exactly what I’ve done. Any duff ones I’ve donated to the community allotment so they can string ’em up as bird scarers.

What happens?

@bodgy…

Find out… you know you want to… 😉

I gave them away, 300 odd, to a fellow STW’r. I sometimes wonder what he made of some of them 🙂

See of a charity shop wants them, or sell as a job lot at a car boot sale or something?

I had pretty good results from Musicmagpie a few years ago – £5-6 for some rarer CDs (OK they cost £20 in the first place…). But that’s Drexciya not Celine Dion so depends what you got. Worth checking though.

Charity shops maybe or in my case my parents do churchy things that raise money selling stuff and welcome CDs. Though think they don’t sell well, whereas they still sell DVDs.

Not that I give them my CDs. They’re kept as my ultimate backup, plus I like the covers and inlays of some of them. Likewise my old vinyl stuff despite nothing to play them on now.

List ’em up..!

I have an ongoing addiction to buying interesting music (18 albums in the last 2 weeks).

Like anyone gives a rats ass about people ripping the CD’s that they’ve bought, thus paying the artist’s the royalties due to them, then selling the CD’s on, which is not, and never has been illegal.
Show me a single case where someone has been successfully prosecuted for ripping their CD’s, then selling the discs.
I continue to buy CD’s, and rip them, just in case of a total storage disaster, plus I enjoy getting them signed by the artists after gigs.
And I refuse to store my music in the cloud, because of the compromise in quality, the same with streaming, which pays artists an insulting pittance

Really ? Shirley no ladiez cd collection would be without this.. so you have a choice..

Anywayz..

It’s all about scaring our bird population Shirley…

Therapy – troublegum
Pixies – doolittle

Yes please!

Find out… you know you want to…

Dunno that shoving CDs into the Rayburn is gonna have quite the same effect?

Six by Seven are the only band that I might be interested in that I haven’t already got out of that little lot, and I was never as fond of them as I was of Dark Star, (not the current electro interlopers).

Post up your address and we can each send you a SAE for a lucky dip return! Or keep them of course…

On second thoughts, only up for that if I could opt out of your wife’s collection… 😉

@bodgy – ah Rayburn, the thinking mans Aga. 😉

CDs in a microwave, it’s like contained lightening – forks all over the disc for a few seconds and makes sounds like cracking thunder.

Childish fun.

@ sadexpunk

Boo – would have had Pixies + Therapy. That’ll teach me not to be online when the list went up..!!

Yes please to:
Ikara Colt – Chat and Business
Ikara Colt – Modern Apprentice
Carter USM – 30 Something
Sultans of Ping – Casual

I gave them away, 300 odd, to a fellow STW’r. I sometimes wonder what he made of some of them

*waves*
Finally finished ploughing through them last week. Have kept about 80 to play on my cd player, ripped the whole lot onto my laptop/usb stick to play in the car and the rest to music magpie.
Donation made to anti-FGM work as promised, which I hope is ok.
Main issue is, my kids are playing Beach Boys every **** time they get in the car, so thanks for that 😉

obv i cant post up my address, so can anyone who wants anything email me please and we’ll get them sent off to you.

Six by Seven are the only band that I might be interested in that I haven’t already got out of that little lot,

my favourite band, collected everything of theirs, and wasnt expecting anyone to want those, but lets not be sentimental eh? 🙁 i never play the cds anyway, its all deezer these days.

Tenner posted?

yes mate, as above, email in profile.

On second thoughts, only up for that if I could opt out of your wife’s collection..

😆

EDIT: just seen i got a PM email about them, forgot about that method of contact, so that may be easier.

I’m back into buying them, not wholesale but just one or two now and then. (HMV £5 usually)

Unless you’re ripping to a lossless format they’re better sounding and I like having the case, artwork, notes a bit like the appeal of vinyl but without the vinyl faff.

Glue them into stacks with resin and then use a lathe to create drinkng vessels 😉

Its even more illegal to have all the ripped mp3 files and not the original discs

Illegal? As in prosecutable? Crikey. I’ll delete the files post-haste.

If it’s “even more illegal” is it like the difference between murder and manslaughter?

post em up OP!

Sadexpunk: can i take “Placebo – Placebo – without you im nothing”?

80? I’m surprised it was that many 🙂

Perfect

They have taste 🙂

The only CDs that are really worth anything are compilations (as they don’t all exist on streaming services). Club mix Cds particularly.

My MM sale raised a few hundred but still feel a wrench having got ride of them. Taking them out of jewel cases lowers the value even more.

Keep them!

People are rabidly buying up original vinyl now, who ever predicted that?

I know of people prosecuted for having mp3 files on laptops but not having the cds

so jest if you like
