You Lost Your CD Collection

Borg166 · **Posted:** Sat Oct 01, 2005 12:13 am

Let's say that for whatever reason, you lost or someone stole your entire music collection (CDs, tapes, vinyl). However, your buddy at Virgin Ultra-Megastore gives you a gift certificate with 15 credits and each credit entitles you to a free music CD. By the way, this record store has a brand new/sealed copy of every CD you ever owned.

You're basically starting your music collection over again, so what would you pick?

I don't think I could start over. I'd be traumatized. I'd find a new hobby.

I have homeowners insurance.

You can and you will start over.

Back in high school, a former buddy worked at Sam Goody..

Couple of times a year, I would go and pick out about a dozen cd's i wanted, and brought em up to the counter....he rang up two of em, but 'untagged' all of em....We made out pretty well for a while. He eventually got busted 'helping' another friend out

Well, I have my whole collection ripped to mp3. So I'd use my 15 credits and buy a thousand burnable CDs.

Oh yea, and I'd find a new insurance agent.

I wouldn't be able to just waltz into a record store and get Sticks and Stones by The 77s. I'd have to go on e-bay and pay upwards of $30 - $40.

Happened to me, well mostly. Lost A-R of my cd collection when we moved to Chicago. They didn't touch the vinyl (suckers it's worth a lot more), but still they got about $5,500 worth of stuff (which the moving company not so graciously paid).

Seven years later, I'm still looking for a few titles to be purchased at any price.

The idea of this is too traumatic for me to even consider...

shiv · **Posted:** Sat Oct 01, 2005 3:48 am

Yeah I'd be pretty pissed. I have some stuff that I think is pretty hard to find.

MiceElf · **Posted:** Sat Oct 01, 2005 11:26 am

Ugh, that would be heart-breaking. That said, a c.d. collection isn't built in a single shop, it would take years to reassemble because of the hard-to-find stuff. And what if they took your mix cds/tapes or whatever...ugh...those can never be recovered.

i came home from work once...all of my guitarss, amps, music (1000+ cd's) in bags all on my back porch....

the fuckers were still in the house cleaning me out......

they ran out another door...and the police caught them a week later breaking into another house....

i almost had to live through this trauma....

I'd personally make a couple changes (Talk Talk and Songs:Ohia, in particular), but this is the first list posted that makes sense to me.
