How many do u all own?I have a ton as a lot of albums from the 80s cost too much on ebay.How many do u all own?

The only one I own is Wayne - Metal Church. I suppose if it ever goes bad I'll burn a new copy myself haha

None.

Beats paying $15 or more for each rare 80s cd on ebay.

None. Plus $15 is hardly a lot of cash really.

But what about $30 or more per cd and if your buying hundreds then thats a lot of money.

If you can't afford them, then you're not supposed to have 'em!

What about the thousands of dollars a band pays to record, manufacture and distribute a cd and then have somebody "borrow" it from the internet.

I mean as if theres used cds on ebay for $25 to $50 dollars.Id rather get cdrs than pay that much for 80s metal cds on ebay or what not.

I did a lot of CD-R trading in the early '00s when I first got on the Net and started hanging out on forums. It was kinda the "thing to do" back then. Not so much anymore in recent years. I still have a bunch of 'em in the closet though. Bit by bit I've been trying to replace the ones I really like with the "real" CDs but it's likely to take a very long time before I upgrade them all. Shoot, I'm still upgrading the last of my cassettes to CDs and that's been going on for nearly 20 years.

I like the silver pressed cds but I do have mix cdrs.

I buy blank cdr's and burns from distro's/bands.

The past two years I have bought a lot more cdr releases as they are only $2 or $3, but am going to be more selective and research first.

Some being sold out there are from mp3 sources, and not CD copies, so I might as well have just downloaded.

In Canada, blank media like discs and cassettes are taxed which is supposed to go towards bands / record labebls, but I have yet to hear from a single person who has benefited from this.

edit:
will save what I said for another thread.

Oh I think I might have been confused about what was being referred to here. I do have some cdrs of albums I only own on cassette that I transferred to the computer and burned. I did recently replace my Reverend - Play God cassette with a real cd copy though!

What do you guys use for transferring cassettes to the computer? I used to do this awhile back but didn't like the sound capture program I was using.

I've been using Goldwave for about 10+ years.

The 10 or so I have in my collection are merely placeholders for the real thing that I'll get to replacing eventually. Might have a coupla mix cds I made too.

And a couple cdrs that a buddy of mine gave to me that I don't have the heart to throw in the garbage. Why he thought I'd want a copy of Pat Benetar's Greatest Hits is beyond me.

I have alot of CDR's, most of it is live shows however.
