Do you just throw them or is it any other way you utilize them? I would like to store them,but then it would be just a dump which I know I wouldn't ever going to listen to them.Piles of them and I dont know what to do with them.Friends do give some advice.........

HI there ,well theres not too much that you can do with them once you have finished with them really,the thrift stores may well be very happy to take them off of yourr hands Im sure.Or there may be some friends who would give their eye teeth to look thru your collection,but apart from that the only use I can think of for them is to use them for bird scarers lol,tie them to the kidney bean poles with a bit of twine to scare the birds away.I know some of these music CDs are really costly and its a wrench to have to think of parting with them,but they arent bulky,sl maybe you could pack them up and stick them all into a box,then stick them up into the loft,there they would be safe and out of the way and most importantly keep dry

i do not throw old cds away... ijust keep them. well i only buy cds that are essential and important to me. but if you really have that much cds and you think everythings a junk and it irritates you, why dont you just sort them out. keep the cds that are important so everything will not go to waste :)

Actually these CDs were purchased not just by me,but by other members as well.Over a long period of time it got piled up,but not a HUGE collection as such.Maybe I should resell them.LOL.

Sell them..... Donate them to a Youth Centre or a Charity..... Or if you wish to get creative turn them into drinks coasters or one of those pyschadelic 70's style curtains! lol.

I've seen people turn old music CDs into coasters to put their drinks on. I've also seen people turn them into the top of a coffee table. You know the kind that you can put something under the glass of the table? I've seen people craft them into staying together under the glass of their tables. I'm not sure what they used, but it surely was pretty.

Hi Daffodil, I always keep my old stuff specially like this because I might need it in the future or somebody might. If you don't want to keep yours and they are in good conditions you can donate theme to some clubs or charity. Charities sometimes sell things that was donated to theme in cheap price then use the money for their charity programs. This way you can help few people as well.

well too much cds is really a problem that i also have noe i konw i just like buying them but not listening to some styles dont fit me so the next time when i buy cd i should think clearly if i really like it or it will be a waste of money now some of them i dont like will be given to my friends or sold on net the others will be my treasures when you listen to them again years later a diffent feeling it will remind you of the period

we keep our cds beside our cd players. sometimes, we still listen to them and recall how we used to sing them and just laugh at ourselves. :)
