What's in your CD collection? — Page 2

1000 DVD's? No offense, but where is the sense in that?

When you don't have to buy them all they can add up fast.

My collection is not yet organized as I would like, because that vision of Patronus you had with a wall of disks obsessively entering each in exactly the "right" way, well that is me.

It is always what is MISSING from Pat's collectoon that gets me. We will fix that someday soon.

The excell table is also my listing space.

I agree the iTunes automatic choices are ridiculous, much more work for the OCD tyoes amoung us.

Rath, I got on the DVD thing really early. I had my player in 1996 when the players were still very expensive, but the media online was very cheap. I remember one sale during the boom of e-tailers from a not surprisingly dead retailer called 800.com.

When they first opened they had a list of about 200 DVDs that you could choose from at a 3 DVDs for $1 deal. The catch was that it was one per household. Since it was so early in the DVD era - I was the only household I knew that had a DVD player so I basically got everything they had in that one sale.

I do agree with you though and I have a lot of movies that I don't particularly care about now and may look to shed a lot of them if I do in fact move to the city - but at that time I got a lot of DVDs for not much more than it would be to rent them.

SP78, even the best collection can't have EVERYTHING in it. We have to get you to watch "Halloween" and all the inferior, yet relevant sequels and then we'll talk.

Who says all the DVDs you buy are movies you haven't yet seen?

Excellent.

That's a good idea, orangeskittles...I have some cast recordings as separate playlists, but making one large one would be smart.

While we're on the subject, I have an iTunes question. Is it possible to have a playlist of songs that don't appear in your music library? I have TONS of music from my old computer that I'd like to have the option to listen to, but I don't want it to interfere with the organization since none of it will be labelled correctly, and I don't have time to label it.

I swear I'm not this OCD in any other aspect of my life... just with music.

Ah, yes. I forgot about the "freebies."

My wife used to work in HR for a major media retailer and we got a ton of free discs and a pretty sizeable discount on the ones we paid for.

Enjoy DVD Profiler, best12bars. I depend pretty heavily on it. To be able to input new discs by UPC code is really nice. In fact, I believe it even works with a bar code reader if you have one.

I agree.

A major help, Patronus. Thank you.

I'm sure I'll have some questions for you.

I gather that it is only for DVDs and not CDs. Is that correct?

Very cool. I added my first two DVDs. I have been building my cd list in an Access d/b.
Thank you for offering this suggestion. This is terrific.
