You know, those old ones that maybe you put a song or two on for a wedding back in 2005, or than one band you thought was going to rock, but they just sucked?

Do you just pile them somewhere like I do?

Then you get tired of looking at them, so you do this?

that's right, an we have two, one for the men and one for the women....

One is for "Unisex" and Two is for "couple". I use old CDs as coasters for cold drinks! :sqcool:
I used to save up all the AOL CDs sent to me in the mail. I don't get them anymore! Is it because they ran out of money, CDs or both? LOL
 
They're all stored and locked in my recording room :)

Why? Ya think somebody's gonna try to steal those worthless artifacts?! You think the 90's are coming back?

I bet you have a record player in there, too. Ooh...the 80's...let me pick up my 45 adapter with my hand that's wearing the white glove!

yuk yuk yuk
 
Actually it's all of my CD's, LP's, singles, tapes, Mini Disc's and reels. And you are correct there's actually 4 turntables, a reel to reel deck, some tape deck's, etc. :D:D:D:D:D:D Nobody goes into that room without me being there :D:D:D:D

I just hoard them up....they end up all over my room,the computer desk,the rack in the living room by my other computer desk.....some are forgotten in the cube van (listened to on the way to shows)

A bunch are getting added to my ODJT 'trading" box..
 
I keep them all in my archives. I never know when I might need an obsolete song that wasn't ripped onto my CPS when I bought the CD.
(No, I don't rip every song from every CD ontp my CPS. Why rip 11 unknown songs from Lee Greenwoods CD when the only song you will ever use is God Bless the USA?).

Also, legally speaking, if you have a song on your CPS, you are supposed to have the hard copy you purchased
 
I make and sell these below

i'll leave the rest for you lot!!
 
I stick them in my basement.

As most of you know, if you've ripped even one song, then you have to keep the original as proof on ownership.

The Artwork, on the other hand is an entirely different story.

I have a buddy that opened a bar ans asked for my CD inserts. He's got them all over his bar, along with a lot of other cool stuff, laying on the bar and tables, under the varnish. He's also got some sandwiched between 2'x4' plexiglass, used as ceiling tiles.

Very cool.
 
oh so I shouldnt do this till the old cds are no longer used and are scratched to hell!!!
