So said Rachmaninoff - and I'm sure a lot of us would agree.
In my case, I'm in the SLOW process of transferring CD's to computer (in uncompressed AIFF format). I hit the 2,000 mark a couple of weeks ago, and I still have plenty to go. My plan was to sell the CD's back to the local stores in this area - stores which, in days of yore, used to pay as much as $5 per disc for some titles. But on my last visit, I got less than $1 per disc. The guy apologized, but I guess that's the way the used market is these days - so I'm kind of stymied with my plan. I just don't want my kids to have to deal with all this "stuff" (i.e., thousands of CD's) when I'm no longer around. As for SACD's, DVD-audios, blu-ray audios, etc. . . . I'm still keeping those around in disc form for now.
