That album doesn't play in my car. Most CDRs don't. Still super-annoying.

You need a car with a USB port.  Since I got one back in 2011 my CD obsession has gone waaaaaay down.  That coupled with my purchase of a SanDisk sport has finally cured me of my aversion to legal downloads.   These days, unless the CD + shipping is super-cheap I buy the download.  Then stuff like a flimsy CD becomes irrelevant. 

EDIT: I also like that I don't have a bunch of CDs laying on the passenger seat anymore.  Damn things used to end up all over the inside of my car.

Before we had our son, my truck had a port for my MP3 player. Unfortunately I had to get rid of the truck when we had the baby and got my wife's old hand-me-down Jeep while she got a new Rav4. Hers has the port for MP3 players, but the Jeep has an old system with a CD player and tape deck. And all the cones in the speakers are busted, so the drums on everything I play sounds like wet butt cheeks flapping together. Haha.

But yeah, I prefer to take an MP3 player. And honestly, I'm cool with a digital collection now. I'd sell my entire collection if I could do so all at once. Hell, I'd sell it at a heavily discounted price just to be rid of it all.

My sympathies.  The only places  I really listen to music these days are in the car and on my 3+ mile walks.  So "wifey" would have to take the vehicle with the crappy speakers.  But I get it, you have to pick your battles.  I'd rather just not even enter the war.  Another in the long list of reasons why I'm single

Blame the CD player for that.

I meant all at once. No way I'm selling piecemeal. I have better shit to do. Haha.

With your HUGE collection, I wonder what the price of something like that would be.

You got around 6k, I will ship you the rest of my collection [about 2000 rarities].

No idea. If you did an average of $5 an album, that'd be over $50K. It's worth more than that, given the rarities and such, but I'd sell it for less just to be rid of it all.
