CD's are not worth sh*te these days - i am reducing my collection of them and adding to my vinyl,  last count i had about 500 or 600 but they're gradually going down.  My 11 year old nephew has shown an interest in heavy rock so i will be giving some to him. Wink

Somewhere between 4500-5000  prog albums on CDs (less that 30 of progmetal Approve)

The last time I counted (six months- a year ago) there were 540+. That covers prog, grunge classic rock and metal. There will be a lot more than that now...

By that I meant just the cd's. There's about 30 tapes and I'm not even going to try to count the vinyl!

Cds may not be worth much of anything right now, but im sure vinyls verent either in the 50s and 60s

one day, (original) cds will be worth something, i think. it's weird because the sound quality for some of the original CDs pressed werent of very good audio quality. the rereleases and remasters are the better ones, but arent as old....

then again, cassettes arent worth s**t either, so who knows

What does everybody think about the future of CDs? As more and more people will go over to mp3 will CD-collections become a rarity? Will used CDs become cheap and new ones more expensive (if they are made at all)?

CD will become a rarity like LP today but it may take more time. But personnaly i prefer keep MP3 on CD-R. So the future of CD is the CD-R???

I don't keep CDs anymore.  I buy music and if its on CD I sell it back somewhere as soon as I've ripped it.  My music library has 51,632 songs (tracks) in it, so averaging that out at about 11-13 tracks per release I'd probably have somewhere in the area of 4,500 give or take a few dozen.

I have just over 2 sh!tloads of CDs.  That's American sh!tloads, not the smaller, metric sh!tload.
And I paid dearly for that when I moved last march.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

Hi,
 
I think around 1K ... and no they are not catalogue'd ... and I still have over 1500 LP's ... I'm hoping to slim that down by another 100 or 200 this coming year in exchange for the CD's.
 
Problem is that I have way too many LP's that are not on CD yet, and they probably never will ... and that's sad ... there's a lot of great music ... that will be left behind and already has been left behind.
 
But there is a difference ... I don't "collect" numbers ... I only keep and have the stuff I love ...
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I think the death of CDs has been greatly exaggerated. There are still music stores everywhere, and there will always be people interested in having a physical hard copy of an album. I have my whole CD collection on Itunes, but I like having the actual discs as well. 

Some music just can't be listened to as singles. You have to hear the whole album. I wager a lot of people who buy CDs these days are 'album' listeners. If you only wanted one song, then you'd go buy a single on the Itunes store like all the kids are doing. I think that people who buy a single track off the Net are not serious music fans, as it just means the songs are ephemeral and disposable. I agree with Steve Wilson's opinion on downloading (expressed very well on the Insurgentes DVD)
Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while...
