Yeah, know that feeling... but imagine the expense (not to mention the additional storage requirements).
 
I have about 350 cds, the rest is digital and the majority of that is lossy (WMA VBA 256-320 or similar... some lower).
 
Already spend more than is probably acceptable on music/equipment though.
 


 

Impossible, if it's worth it to you, it's worth it.

Wife and baby might not agree though
 
Although a fun thing must be when your kid's old enough to start grabbing cds from the cabinet and playing them - looking forward to that.

Well yeah i thought i could make a fun project out of it here's my plan
 
im a web designer and a computer science grad, so my plan was to add a project page to my perosnal website with the list of CD's on it and get my friends, family, twitter, facebook friends (people who actually care of course) to look in their local charity/record shops for anything on the list, update the list as i buy 
 
maybe even set a £5 limit per CD and see how far i get

hah, with kids in the picture.. Very little is worth it anymore. I think I'd naturally funnel almost every dime into my child.. (luckily not planning to have any kids)

rogan, that sounds suspiciously similar to a "wish list"

that's really what it is. I think I'll ask for nothing but LP's for my birthday. I'll set a price limit like he did though. make people search a bit Also, a buy local rule 

 

[dorino]

I don't like limiting myself to buying electronics or CDs or books or anything locally. I generally do buy locally, anyway, because that's where the prices are best... But if I see something on eBay that I want going for cheap I'll try for it. Likewise with classified sites.

I just like to support the local businesses. totally a personal thing

 

[dorino]

Ah. I'm just cheap.

I wish I could get the music I want locally, I usually have to buy it off people in France or Sweden. I did buy my turntable locally though.

 

[rogan]

AHa i dont mean get other people to buy them for me!
 
I mean if they see them, pick em up and ill pay them back

Used to be the same... there's this store in Bristol (UK) called 'Rise', which I loved.  Thing is, at the time we were renting a quite expensive (for us) apartment, and the guy downstairs used to listen to music so loud and so regularly that it made staying there highly annoying (actually bought my PX350s for the sole reason of trying to block out their sound).
 
A few months later I discovered that the downstairs neighbour making all that noise... was none other than the store manager at Rise.
 
So I had to boycott it and buy from Amazon instead

God Vinyl is just one more thing I don't have the money for but totally want to go out and just splurge on.
