Thanks guys, to be honest I think I'll stick them all on Music Magpie. If I get enough to buy a pair of new wheels for my singlespeed, I'm happy. All the music is now on my ipod and backed up on a portable hard drive. Might even buy another hard drive as a second backup.

You do realize that what you are doing is illegal don't you. Ripping the CDs and then selling them on, even giving them away. :lol:

This will change on 8th Feb to a maximum of £1 P&P on CDs. So currently, you can end up making so little on the sale through Ebay after paying Ebay and Paypal fees, and packaging, that it's simply not worth it for most CDs. It's quite likely you'll even make a loss. Obviously this doesn't apply to rare and old stuff, but your average Kylie album will lose you money.

Music Collection and Inventory is handy and free, allows bulk scanning of the barcodes and it goes off t'internet to find the data. There may be better ones, but I'm new to the Android thing.

This is time consuming but will probably give you the greatest returns.

I know that sounds a bit farfetched so I'll ask her to clarify it.

The laborious part is organising postage.
