But really, once I rip them to 320 MP3, they go into the box only to be brought out maybe once a year...

I did the same for nearly 20 years and kept moving the heavy boxes of about 600 CDs and 800 vinyls. When we decided to move 1800 miles across the country for a lifestyle change a little over a year ago I decided it was silly to keep all of those crates for that once a year trip down memory lane. Before we left St. Louis I gifted the 800 vinyls to a fellow DJ i'd known for years who still played out a lot, and dropped the 600 CDs off to GoodwillI and kept four CDs out of the entire collection strictly for nostalgia purposes and because my Jeep still has a CD player. I have a pretty ridiculous audiophile system at home and I really don't fell any loss playing anything I want via Airplay from my laptop or phone, whether the file is wav or 320 from my hard drives, or streaming via Spotify (subscription, no commercials.) I don't ever find myself saying, "damn, would that high hat sound better on CD or vinyl?" but rather am amazed that I can pull up a rare Zeppelin track on a whim and follow it up with GU 9 with a few swipes of the thumb. Convenience and less clutter in my life easily won over crates and crates of physical nostalgia that really became cumbersome and inconvenient to enjoy. Law of diminishing returns. I'll admit that I do not have the same feeling as going out to buy the new Sasha GU 9, coming home and unwrapping it and inviting a buddy over for a listening session before going clubbing for the weekend, but I did that for a couple of decades and those memories don't require a physical media to recall. Onward, upward and what not.

As for Fabric 100, it should probably be Craig Richards (#1 and #100), but I hope its Lee.

[QUOTE=diegoff;1210708]I buy CDs. A lot. They sound better than mp3 or online streaming.
Besides that, I can´t stand the commercials in spotify or whatever people use to listen to music online. I like to look at my CDs collection, dig and choose what to listen to. Sit down, read the booklet... while it´s playing, I continue digging for the next CD I´ll play... and I don´t depend on internet connections.

Exactly !!

Happy for you that this works for you, but just incredibly glad I have never felt like this.

Well put.

Re: fabric mix series to end 'in its current form' at 100th instalment

clutter i can understand but having an audiophile system and playing low rate compressed files through it, sorry i just don't get that, why buy such a sophisticated piece of equipment and put music through it that doesn't even have the full spectrum that it's supposed to have through it and then expect to appreciate your equipment in all its glory... it's like buying a brand new ferrari and taking out the engine to put a skoda diesel engine in it that's done 300000 miles

Re: fabric mix series to end 'in its current form' at 100th instalment

^^ True !!

I've never had a lot of clutter, I have always been really selective in what I bought. And if I do buy something and get sick of it, I give it to someone else. Of course Djing would obviously create a lot bigger library.

Actually I do have clutter on my Mac.

i totally get their point of view but i couldn't live with it myself, if that makes me a music snob then so be it, comes with the territory

Re: fabric mix series to end 'in its current form' at 100th instalment

I don't think that it is about being a snob. It's just for the amount of time a cd gets played these days, it's not worth the effort.

Re: fabric mix series to end 'in its current form' at 100th instalment

^^ I thought he was referring to quality.

I really love my cds. Love the artwork, love the liners , waiting for them to arrive in the post, and love that they don't vanish if a hard drive fails And I do play them even if I do have most of them on my various music players, I prefer the sound from my cds. Maybe because I love all this it really isn't any effort at all for me.
