They do seem to have this weird approach to stealing stuff, like Sky for example. Saying they cant afford it isn't an excuse, I can't afford a Ferrari but I wouldn't steal one. Back to Kingmaker and they were my first ever gig, Hull Uni probably around the very early 90s I'm guessing.
I'd stick them all in your loft so that you've still got them for when iTunes dies or they decide to charge excessively for it, or your hard drive ****s up and wipes your entire music collection off it (and yes I am speaking from bitter experience...got it resolved but it was a pain and I was glad I still had the CDs in case)
Don't sell your CDs. Just wait til your laptop gets its first virus and you need to format it. You'll never forgive your wife. Don't listen to the vinyl snobs, your CDs are precious too!
I'm stuck in the dark ages and don't like the digital age , I still buy cd,s ... If I get a hire car through work , I kick off when it hasn't got a CD player , they look at me like I'm mad
I'm the same, other than playing things on YouTube when I'm at my computer, I still play music at home and in the car on CD's.
I personally would keep them. They're not quite to total art form that vinyl was but they're a bloody site better than a load of '0's and 1's' on a sodding hard drive. If you're getting rid, you need to have a good look at what you've got, not all cd's are worth just 'a couple of quid'. They're almost a dead format these days and as such some are getting very collectable. Invest in a Record Collector Price Guide, or check out what you've got on Discogs website.
