To cull or not to cull: Haydn / The Creation / Karajan 1969

I'll have to put it on the waitlist for the currentlyÂ full CD
cabinet in the living room.

Now you need a physical location/container to correspond to your
waitlist....

There's a cabinet, serving as my radio table, in which I store all my
recent acquistions. In the last year, I bought dozens of CDs, including
various box sets!

So a sort of purgatory....

But I'm not sure it's theologically valid to be storing items that
have already been in your cabinet in the same location as these!
(Did Lucifer have a waiting period when he was cast out of heaven?
Where did he wait? These are the important questions here.)

Another issue is matching the best recordings with the most beautiful
jewel cases (with the fewest scratches). That's quite a task, if you
have many hundreds of CDs and you accidentally damage the jewel case of
one of your very best CDs.

I keep a supply of new jewel cases in various
configurations, bought as 25-100 sets.

Are new jewel cases not as good as old jewel
cases, yes. Would I rather have a new jewel
case than a worn old case, yes.

When I acquire new or old broken jewel cases
with CDs, it is never a problem, unless the
CD has been scratched up by a broken jewel case,
like it has been stepped on.

Alike for DVD cases and blu-ray cases.

These see through clear 17 Liter storage boxes
are great storage and transportable boxes:

By the way, sometimes it seems there is *less* metric
in the USA than last century. Needing a metric ruler,
anything, I nearly left a hardware store empty handed
before a clerk chased me out to the parking carrying
a metric metal tape measure.

Digitize your entire music collection and store it in
the cloud. Wean yourself from your archaic medieval
addition to plastic.

Cheers!

With CDs I can play it right away without ripping
and tagging first. I'd rather make things easier
than harder.

Classical music CDs are especially in need of
changing the tags from the default tags, almost every time.

If it offends you that there are unripped CDs around,
as a contrarian, it makes me happy to learn that.

I'll bet you say that lossy files are as good as the
original CDs because it's trendy to say so.

So to add insult to injury to the trendy, when I do rip
CDs or vinyl I do so as lossless and consider possessing
both CD and a lossless rip as a wondrous redundancy.

This also makes an anti-apple/anti-amazon statement,
those wretched little transnationals too backwards to
offer lossless.

And I find that this British company only sells the
17 lit[er]s in America! Ideal for two rows of
DVD cases, works well with three columns of CDs,
with some room to spare.

I have to say "17L" rather than 17 liter to make
myself understood in stores because there are
circles saying 17L on the boxes.
