Convert my entire CD collection to MP3

Some people have hundreds of CDs. My collection was just under a hundred. I finally realized a time when I wouldn’t ever listen to a CD again. Collecting them are OK, but I wanted more space and less clutter. So I decided to get rid of them.

After I was done, not only did I have everything in a folder and arranged, but now I’m able to throw it on shuffle and listen to all those old albums anytime I want. :)

D F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T

Done all of the C’s and have started on the D’s. I’m also listing them on Recordnerd at the same time.

I have no idea why I skipped C and D but all of the E’s are now done.

To go:
C D F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T

All the B’s are done with effect from Today.

To go:
C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T

All of the A’s are done and I’m now onto the B’s. :P

God this has to be the most boring task in the whole wide world.

To go:

B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T

I’m doing the Cd’s in the U, V, W, X, Y, Z and the 123’s. I’m also listing them on Record Nerd as I’m doing them as well. :)

Eventually they’ll all be ripped and listed on there and I’ll have deleted any duplicate mp3’s on my hard drive too.

I’ve started by organising them into alphabetical order at least. I need to replace some it would seem as well.

My aim is a few letters of the alphabet a week. That includes listing them on record nerd as well. :P

Definitely one of the more exhausting undertakings that I have ever done, but sooo worth it.

I started this long ago of course, when iTunes was still new, but recently i found the last few CDs i had missed in my big 200 CD changer. That poor thing makes all sorts of grunty noises while changing CDs, MP3s are soo much better and faster to find and play. Of course, getting a large LaCie external hard drive helped give me the space to rip them all. And I simply uncheck the songs i don’t want to hear often.

worth doing, defo. took ages n ages tho
