Hello, David! I’m reading through your archives and just thought I would share my own story. When I began de-cluttering the hardest things for me to let go of were my DVDs. I took a long time weeding through them so I could fit them all in our TV stand’s built-in storage. (I wanted to sell the DVD racks that were cluttering up the living room.) Finally, I managed to sell them all. I sold every DVD I owned because I realized that 1) I didn’t need to see a movie 20 times to really enjoy it. Once was enough. And 2) our local library has an impressive selection of DVDs to choose from. No, they don’t have everything I had in my collection, but they have things I wouldn’t have paid for. So I take a chance and check out a movie for free from them. This has also resulted in a lot LESS time spent in front of the TV, as there is only one TV series I pay any attention to.

I just locate all my favorites on http://www.playlist.com and listen ‘for free’ like I’m doing now. I kept only enough to carry in the car when I can’t get my play-lists because due to copyright laws, I can’t download from playlist. But, no matter, I gave my CD’s to friends and family who didn’t have a music collection like I did. Sharing is nice…………

Thanks for an excellent post. I’m motivated now to go through my CD collection too.

I have an analog-digital converter, and I use Final Cut Pro to import and edit it.

When I’m done with this one…it’ll be going on Craigslist. Let me know if you want to work something out and I’ll save the packing. The latest I’ll be selling it is late July…

That’s what I need – A USB turntable. Maybe I can find one to borrow…

I just finished ripping my ~200 cds and selling them. It’s yet another really liberating step in getting rid of all the STUFF cluttering up my life…

Downside…now my mom has me ripping all of her cds, then I get to move on to the LPs…already ordered a USB turntable. Looks like I get to hear the whole White Album finally!
