CD library


Riggs- if you ever come back- can you explain the library. Is that something you created and those are all the cds you own? Who wrote the reviews on the bottom?? Do you add to it?

Good morning Rubicon!

The CD Library.

Once upon a time, not so long ago, a certain flightless bird had an obsession with small shiny discs.

His living room walls (ALL OF THEM) were stacked top to bottom with compact discs. By the time the collection started topping 4,000 the bird realized he had a problem.

He either had to stop buying music, which he couldn't bear to imagine, or come up with a better storage system. Thus, the bird set upon a journey to convert almost 4400 of these CD's into high quality digital files.

After almost a year of careful work, cataloging the collection, and burning it to DVD's, the bird was done. His entire collection now took up 71 DVD's and fit in a small binder.

Thus, the library is IN FACT a full listing of all the CD's we have available in our library. We DO add to it on a regular basis, and when we have enough digital files to produce another DVD (usually about 50 - 75 albums make a DVD) we do so and the republish the CD list.

The reviews on the bottom are USUALLY from Amazon.com or All Music Group, but more often than not there is no review at all. On occassion I have made notes of my own.

Ruby,

Can you IMAGINE how excited I was to find Live365? I did this "conversion" about a year before the station started, and when I found live365 I was SO EXCITED about to opportunity to put my music to good use!

I thought it would be hard to make that switch from physical to digital, I've always been a sucker for the liner notes, and artwork and stuff, but once I did the switch it seems like it makes so much more sense.

The ease of access to the songs is so big for me. And I have a great catalog program that let me scan in front and back covers to the size of an actual Album, so I still can view those when I want.

It's a pretty nice setup and I make much more use of my music now than I ever did before.

Juuuuuuuuuuuust a note to let you all know the CD Catalog is updating as I type this, it should be done within the next 15 minutes.

It's the first update since June of this year and includes about 300 new CD's.

That is all
