My crazy new project

Most days I have very little to no feeling in my hands, due to the herniated disc in my neck pinching the nerves. I drop things ALL THE TIME ! Gets frustrating.

So... I came up with a crazy idea to prevent dropping or damaging my CDs when listening in the truck (which, yes, I've done on more than one occasion... even scratching one of my fav albums a while back - GRRRR!!!) - I bought a couple stacks of blank CD-Rs (which are next to impossible to find for sale anymore !) and I'm making exact copies of my more treasured albums.  I have ROXIO, and use it to burn an exact copy of the album. I notice a huge difference in albums "ripped" and burned to CDs, as opposed to albums "burned" directly from the source to CD-R.  So I get the same quality of listening, all the while keeping my original safe.

I just finished Letter A....

What have I got myself into ?  

Nice!  I did that a while back when my car only had a CD player.  Those CD wallets scratch CDs after a while AND worst case your car gets broken into and your CDs stolen... at least they're not the originals!  Now I just use my iPod so my CDs typically just get taken out of their cases once to get burned onto my computer.

I have an MP3 player radio and a USB port in my car....I never take my cds in my car.

That's what I do, too.  It is rare for me to actually play a disc anymore.
