After getting my office organized, I'm looking at five boxes of CDs that need listening to, along with four shelves, five crates, and three boxes of albums. If that wasn't enough I've got 12 shelves and a 14-hole CD stand filled with CDs that I listen to somewhat regularly. I've got plenty of music, but it's time to reduce.
So, armed with a 1TB hard drive and a desire to get rid of some of this music, I'm ready to blog my way through the music that is sitting in this room.
It's taken a long time to get my head around storing my music on the computer. And, I know it's not going to be everything. I'm only burning the LPs and CDs that aren't 100% cool with no filler. As artists resort back to the "two hits and ten tracks of shit" creed that Keith Richards used to describe albums back in the day, it has become a necessity to get the best songs on the computer and let someone else find some enjoyment out of what I get rid of.
To be fair, some of this music probably didn't age well. I'm not the same person today that I was when I bought much of this music. Tastes change, priorities too. There was a time when I thought of myself as a completist; I've got to have everything a particular artist released, good or bad. Now, with all this music around me, I can see that might not have been the best plan of attack.
But enough rambling. Let's get to the first CD that gets copied to the computer.
