-if it bothers you, audition the cd, then buy it or
-make a donation to the libraryI've donated dozens of my old cd's to my local library; they in turn usually sell them during their annual or semi-annual book sales...which raises the question "can they even do that?"...LoL...in any event, I sleep good at night..:)

Libraries usually don't keep donated books are albums. That would require them to renumber their entire catalog (or parts of it). Instead, they just sell them for pennies on the dollar.

I can recall once checking out Elton John's greatest hits CD; after 10 days I returned it. Well the next time I went back a clerk informed me the EJ disc was overdue! Long story short, I ended up paying for the CD- $20! Needless to say I was quite pissed at first, but after tallying up all the disc I had checked out (I get print outs) and the only cost being gas and parking meters... I figured what the heck, I was way ahead on points and hey; such is life.Fast forward a couple weeks later (you guessed it) the Elton John disc is miraculously back on the shelf and most of the staff strangely developing amnesia over the whole matter.
Later that Summer they hold their semi-annual book drive and CDs were (as you mentioned) going for $2-$3, and books $0.50. But alas, no Elton John ;)
