Okay… recently a friend of mine started a project. It is his goal to phase out all his CDs and have only digital music and vinyl. I really think this is a great project. First, CDs will be a dead media in the next decade. Second, they will never have the same feel or sound as vinyl, so there won’t be that feeling… you know the feeling vinyl gives you. Third, he is going to get all kinds of cash for these things and be able to buy the vinyl version and the digital version. Why not, right.
So, I guess I am a copy cat. But I am too connected to my huge box of CDs. I can’t just sell them. So, I am going to listen to my entire music collection. Cd by CD, record by record, 7″ by 7″. Every digital download. This is going to take hours, weeks, months and perhaps years to do. But thats why it is a project. It will be ongoing.
After I listen to each CD or record, I will try to make/download a digital copy. Then, if the CD has no sentimental value, no huge cash value or anything else like that… to CD exchange I go. With the cash, I will buy vinyl replacements of the albums I like. I will buy digital versions. Or, I will save it. I will be cataloging the whole adventure here, on 7″ of Separation.
I am a nerd.
Anyway, each CD will have a little review to it. An explanation to why I own it. (I’m sure this will be required of some titles.) And, I will let you know what the future is. Hopefully I can also keep track of what I sell and how much I make off of it. This might be harder though.
Let it begin!
nice man! There’s nothing like getting rid of untouched albums and getting 150$ to go nuts with in the record store, you won’t be dissapointed.
yeah.. thanks for the idea. I think its going to go well.
Just wait until you get your Christmas present…
Oh wait, I am making it sounds like it is CDs. It’s not. Or maybe it is…and now I feel really bad.
ps. you are a nerd. that’s why i like you.
