You have to buy two, though. You need a back-up. I imagine it would suck a big one to burn all your music and have the thing crash.

For Christmas I got a USB turntable that rips vinyl to MP3. I'll be uploading some cool stuff soon. I have some things I've never listened to! I haven't owned a record player for about 15 years. Haha.

i bought 5 albums in 2008 haha. All the others were given to me in CDR format

I was looking at these. What kind did you get? Let us know how you like it. I have a ton of stuff on vinyl that will never see a CD release and I haven't owned a turntable in forever either.

Oh, and I was pretty restrained this year. I only bought 214 CDs.

It's made by a company called Ion. I haven't tried it yet, but I will tomorrow. An older dude at work has one and he says it's really good. He's ripped a bunch of old jazz and whatnot, says the quality isn't perfect because it's vinyl, but it's still excellent quality.

I can't wait to hear some of this vinyl I have.

I could finally rip stuff like Walk The West, The Movies and The Tigers.

I bought a ton, but I also spent very little for it all, and even traded a bit for some of them. Plus free review copies and all that. I bet I spent under $3,000 on music. That's insane, too, but I spend my money on little else so it's not totally irresponsible...

We spent about the same then because I probably average around $12 or $13 per CD. But like you, I don't spend my money on much else so it's not like I'm starving the cats so I can buy CDs.

Yeah, you spent much more than me. I average less than $5 per disc, and it's often far less than that. From free to pennies to $2.

Good Lord. Your "haul" in one year is almost twice the size of my entire freakin' collection.


I hate you, Eyesore!!

I only own about a dozen more than that total !!!

I was trying to break 3200 total by year's end but it looks like I fell one short. My last outstanding order came today and put me at 3199.

Considering I get no freebies and that's my total after selling about 25 discs this year, I estimate about 40 grand invested in my CDs. Geez, I need to update my home owner's insurance.

I still have yet to break 100.

I have one of these, had for a year or so now. I works better than expected, The only drawback is the condition of some of the vinyl. It will bring lots of your music back into a format that you can access easily. I love mine.

Wow - that's alot of music this year! I think I added 50 or 60 this year, if I'm lucky!

I haven't used the USB turntable, but I have a preamp that plugs into my soundcard. It works well for old vinyl. You have to edit the songs after you rip it - it basically makes one big file. But, the software I have can help take out the pops and scratches. I can also normalize the sound to make it louder (my own loudness wars - lol!)

That is an awesome feat,Eyesore.

Mine is only at 56


Good job Eyesore

If I bought a tenth of that amount, I consider that a damn good year in my book.

I can't even imagine how much I've spent over the years. My collection began in my teens. I have a notebook that has my early collection written in it. I had 63 CDs. Haha.

And yeah, insure that stuff!
