For Ken, vinyl has to be kept to be played.

It isn't just the vinyl, all the extra gear piled up.

Jim.......I see a McIntosh piece back there. Can't throw that away. :no:

I wonder how many people can identify all the vintage gear he has stacked up.

Back on topic, I have a custom made media storage area under one of my basement staircases.

It is made of white vinyl covered wood, and very well lit. It provides me with storage for well over 2000 CD's or BR's.

The best part is this would have been considered dead space by any normal person.

I'll post some pics next time I have my camera down there. :ok:

If you are that attached to your CD collection, make a conscious decision to accomodate them. Any number of racks or shelves can do the trick.

The future of media (Video, Books, and Music) is that it will all be cataloged tagged with endless amounts of meta data and indexed in a manner to occupy less space that Video Discs, Audio Discs, Vinyl Records and/or Book/Newsprint.

I like the idea of searching for a song about driving a fast car written in the 80's or songs recorded with XYZ type guitar and mastered in this location. While the former has high social value the latter might be trivial but really deep dive into the art of music.

back out of the clouds, what I am doing, I am buying Vinyl Discs from Amazon with the "Autorip" feature and playing the songs on my Sonos through the Amazon store. I play the Vinyl disc when it's right after work or late in the evening, but I limit my Vinyl purchases to only artists I must have and a large part of the album contains songs that are valuable to me. The other thing I do is rip every CD have to my iMac and shove the CD in a box in the attic, should I need to re-do it all at a later date.

Okay dinner's on. I'm hungry!

I have back-ups of my back-up files, yet I would never get rid of my cd's. They are the only true back-up. I never have to worry about them getting lost or becoming corrupt.
