In 2000 and up through 2005, I spent a lot of time making CDRs of Cure concerts that I'd downloaded (e-circles was the way to go then, then Napster and CDR by mail, and lots of individual collector's web sites who might host a few shows here and there).
I also spent quite a while finding, or failing that, creating artwork for the CD inserts and sometimes the CD labels too.
So now I have two huge boxes of CDRs, many with pretty cool artwork, that I never really listen to because I listen to all the shows on my Ipod or on my computer. I just don't play CDs anymore.
Add to that, that CDRs haven't aged very well (something about the magnetism wearing out over time). So I'm torn on whether to recycle all the cases and artwork and dispose the CDs, or whether to save them for a rainy day. Even my car has an Ipod input (and I can't tell the difference between the CD and MP3 in most cases - as I said, many of the CDs are actually MP3 sourced - plus I do have the lossless FLAC version on a hard drive around here somewhere).
It's just that I spent so much time making them, and some of them look really cool.
Anyone else in my weird situation?
