Do you still keep your CDs and how nostalgic are you when it comes to them?
Yeap, I think I still have them all. As I think I also have all my music tapes I recorded with music from the radio at first, and later copy pasted from rental CDs from a shop around the corner where I lived back in the late 80s. I even used music tapes to store computer programs for my VIC20 and Commodore 64. Then the recordable CDs came, the PC, Napster, Soulseek (I liked Soulseek a whole lot since it was used by professional producers to test their newest creations with the crowd) and whatnot. The recordable DVD popped up. And then, then all was taken over by a Network Attacked Storage device, a NAS. It wiped out all the needs for the magnetic tapes and the somewhat see-through silvery circles we started to use to watch a solar eclipse.
Last year I had all these CDs in my hand, the tapes, the VHS types as well, since I wasx executing a master clean of my apartment. I thought, I shall throw them, but I didn't. My logic: I still want to create playlists of all my music tapes and CDs. To record my history, I spend so much time creating, in the digital space, to keep until I die. At least for music. Series and movies, perhaps I shall ditch all the physical media I have, but still, I don't want to loose my most favourite TV series ever, Twin Peaks. And and and, the Goodfather movies I recorded from TV, and and and... a well, I probably will end up keeping all the tapes, CDs, DVDs I have, the orginral bought ones, and those I recorded myself.
