Massive CD collections
by josephneff 14 Jul '04

14 Jul '04

Hello, ....I started buying compact discs around 1989 and have since accumulated around 2,000. I started buying LPs about three years prior and now have over 4,000. The first CDs that I bought were cheapo John Coltrane and Elmore James compilations. I still have the Coltrane (it includes a killer live version of "MR. PC"). The first two LPs that I owned (both were gifts) were "Led Zep II" and Sabbath's "Paranoid". I can't remember the first LP that I bought with my own cash, though I suspect it was a compilation of 60s psyche-rock hits. I've never been a big buyer of cassettes--I have about 200, though I've lost/given away/upgraded/lent out and been burned on about 100 various tapes. If I have something I really like on tape I usually try to improve on it to either LP or disc (two exceptions would be Cage's "Four Walls" and Heiner Goebbels' "The Man in the Elevator"), unless it was only released on tape, natch. I've about 500 7" records, mostly indie stuff. VHS tapes total just over 200, many bought at these "3 for $5" video store blowout sales where I once scored Kurosawa's "Red Beard", Kusturica's "Underground", Godard's "Hail Mary" and "Detective", Jarmusch's "Dead Man" (Letterboxed!!), and Bunuel's "The Exterminating Angel" for a mere sawbuck. That was a great day. I have only 24 DVDs (I'm not counting "The NBA Finals Greatest Moments"). I have no idea how many books are in this joint.

Re: tim berne's big satan: souls saved hear

This is great news! Imho Berne is one of those rare musicians who are still true to their spirit, totally uncompromising and with an enviably cohesive output. By the way, if someone feels like getting some Berne material, there's a fantastic BLOODCOUNT PACK at the Screwgun site. The Unwound 3-cd boxset plus two more albums for a ridulous USD40. That's music not to be missed! Oh, and I'm in no way related to Berne, really :-) Best, EfrÃ©n del Valle n.p: V.V.A.A.

FW: steve/re: massive.... storage

As I said earlier.. This is a subject too painful to talk about. NP: Dillinger Escape Plan "Miss Machine" Rich Ladew rladew(a)verizon.net oy veh is mir... i am literally tripping over discs oh no, another avalanche the cats are screaming, "Where can we sleep? There are no flat surfaces here!" my database is useless because i can never seem to get past entering "Cage" and since each artist or composer gets a separate entry --the reason i bought a damned computer in the first place was to catalog the broadcast and dubbed multicomposer multartist compilations on the 500 cassettes-- and the vinyl takes a 20 foot wall six levels high and the cds are all over the place, tho alphabetical, and tho i went from jewelcases to double-slims for most, but the slef space ran out [pooh to all those early-on idjits who said 'cds take up less space'] ive gone to putting them in case logic or staples storage sleeves (now case logic doubled the price to 20c each, matching staples price) and if the booklet is only a 2fold i can put the cd, traycard and booklet on one side, so i have 2 cds in 1 sleeve which still takes less than half the upright width of a jewelcase... unless of course the discs are rare or autographed or-- god and dont let me riff on the devil's digipak or dvd cases-- and so storage is cheaper this way than more shelving which anyway is out of the case because there simply IS NO MORE WALL and i still keep hearing daddy's voice, bless him, in my head- even tho hes the one who started me on this obsession- imagine, at 3 yrs old even he knew i would not hate the attention given to my newborn brother as much if his nurse gave me that little golden record which at 20 yrs old they confessed to me wasnt from her but on eof their plots and you ask how many records i have... not to mention.. oy, freud now, what my crew of friends used to do at a very young age with stax'o 45s... i think ive already said too much. love to us all, and how many discs? that's like asking how long it is. use em in good health. love to all steve k.

Re: burning CDs

They sound just as you say, like the original. (I used to work for Apple, so this is an issue I'm fairly familiar with) Once you hit "burn" in iTunes, whatever music format the audio files in your playlist are in is sneakily converted to AIFF format right before burning anyhow, so that's not the issue. However, if you've ripped the CD using a compressed format (MP3, AAC, WMA) you're only going to get as good a sound quality of the compressed file, which is to say, there will be some sort of audio quality loss, even when it goes back to AIFF. If you wish to maintain complete 100% audio quality, you're going to want to rip your CDs using AIFF, WAV or Apple Lossless format. Any one of those formats will produce digital output exactly the same as the original CD. They will take up a magnitude more hard disk space than the compressed ones, however, so they're not that great for archiving your entire collection on your computer, laptop, iPod, whatever, but the sound quality will be better. As has been pointed out, the big issue with "will this burned CD work in my car/stereo/boombox/etc." is not the audio file format but the is the *brand* of blank CD-R media you use (and specifically, the tint of the backing color of the CD-R's aluminum layer). The best universal advice seems to be to find a brand of blank CD-R that works well with all your various gizmos and stick with it. My apologies if this was off-topic for the list. Let me see if I can add something passingly relevant: um, the "Bookshelf on Top of the Sky" documentary about Zorn and his cronies was really interesting, and is on the Netflix service if you subscribe to that. ~jeff
