I have 75% of my collection in boxes in different closets throughout my apartment. The other 25% is in racks in my living room where I can access them very easily. I do rotate the stock monthly. I am one that refuses to download anything, but have broken down in a few instances to purchase them if that is the only way to get it. That has been 3 titles. Lately I have refused to purchase downloads and just skip a score that is only released that way. This comes from seeing many of my coworkers that have lost the whole contents of their computers from viruses, etc. Having the CD is the ultimate backup. I do not see buying back-up memory for back-up memory. Who was it on this board that said they have ripped all their CDs to a backup drive which they keep at their parents house and then have another one at some other location away from them home (lock box), to me that is silly.
When it comes to the time of downloads only, between what my father and I own, we should have everything that we need other than a few new releases to listen for the rest of our lives. I just hope there will be a company out there that will keep manufacturing CD players. My father has downgraded many times and he comes to me to see if there is anything that I am needing and then sells the rest. He likes when I take a lot, that clears him space, but also gives him access to them at my apartment. So, you could say I am storing them for him.
I also have started making the determination if an upgrade of a re-release/remastered release is worth the money. If it is a score that I listen to frequently, then I might upgrade, but most of what has been re-release lately I have passed on and just play the original. I am hoping to one day own a house where I can have a room to display all of my collection and at that time I will be it total amazement of the money I have invested and in some cases wasted.

Interesting. I have almost all of my CDs in sleeves now for archiving. I have a handful of disks out and in their original package for display. All of the new Star Treks, the Blue Box, the RCA Star Wars CDs, the Indiana Jones box and a handful of other “deluxe” editions.
When I actually LISTEN? It’s all digital.
I’m wondering when I get Red October if it will go on the shelf or in a sleeve. I’m crazy to get the music, but it’s not “THIS IS THE CD I’VE BEEN WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE FOR!”

Kim: Take advantage of the occasional sale on CD players. Buy a reputable player and store it in a closet for those days when CD players no longer exist.
I have one already still sealed and packed away, plus with the one in my car I have 5 working CD players now. I also have two record players (with extra drive belts), one is still being used and the other is one packed away. I have let my cassette players go. I still have one that works but all the cassettes that I have, I have on CD or LP. My father gave me his laser disc player and what laser discs he had, but when that dies, I do not know if it is necessary to purchase another one. Oh, and that plays 5 CDs, too. My father also wanted to give me his 8-track player and the few scores he had, but I passed on that for now.

I do mean broadcast studios. He works for a FOX affiliate where he lives. He told me himself via email, doubt he'd lie.
I am certainly not calling your friend a liar. That said, VHS tape is not broadcast quality, and certainly not HD broadcast quality. I work in the television business, and I have never, not even decades ago, heard of any broadcaster using VHS tapes for anything but the obvious use that anybody might (as jkanry said, to run a tape filmed by a non-pro).
I know, I know, this is far from the topic at hand. But I started this thread, so I have the right!
