I've got over 3000 CDs that I want to sell
If you haven't set it up already, I suggest Discogs for this type of thing.
I've got over 3000 CDs that I want to sell so I can find my new vinyl collection. Willing to ship world wide and have a wide assortment...
I have a partial list of over 1000 you can view at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dML9HoSRoA-zv-1-jK5_ig4TJd9PgJnzQK c2kUfb

Will ship anywhere there is no US export ban (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria).
PalPal only. Local pickup available in the Dallas, Texas area.
Prices range from $1-5 usually depending on the CD.

Not sure where it went. Anyway, I've updated since I postedI have a partial list of over 1000 you can view at

so I'll have to do another one.
Are you going back vinyl?
I think I would miss the convenience of plopping 5 CDs into a
changer and activing the random mode.

Not so much going back, but adding more. I literally have
my hallway stacked with CDs I'm trying to catalogue one by
one. It's an arduous task.
I always thought it was kinda cool how programs such as iTunes
could fetch the CD title/tracks/cover from imdb ..and therefore
make it very easy to build a printable list. But there still
remains doing that for each and every CD. I would imagine that
the process would take atleast 2 minutes per CD. At 3000 CDs,
that's 10hrs of work not counting interruptions or a failed
search.
A few years ago there was a really cool app that allowed one to
take a picture of a book's spine, identify the book and produce
a database entry for it on your phone. It was called BitLit and
then Shelfie. You could even take a photo of a stack of book
spines and it would return a list. Very slick. Something like
that would be helpful for your CD piles! :D
Well with Discogs you can scan a barcode and add it to your
collection but then you have to determine which release you
have since different versions could have the same barcode.
It sometimes takes a little more than 2 minutes because you
have to look at the tiny etchings on the disc close to the
center. Sometimes it's a different book or different song
listings.

If I could take a picture of them, that'd be great but it'd
have to be a high quality one.
To give you some idea, in the hall I have 9 stacks of CDs
ranging in height from 52 to 58 inches. [...]
[...] Then I have stacks in my walkin closet and stacks on
my shelves in the bedroom. I have a self full in my office.
I don't have more in here because that's where all my 7"
singles are, something like 500+ of them.
Good point. It is not enough to just know the record Title and
Artist. This is the stash that was delivered to me today:
That's part of the enjoyment of appreciating the distinction of
hardcopy CDs vs a streaming copy. :D
I tried jpg to text on the above images. The results were
terrible.
That's amazing. I don't have nearly that many. Maybe 2500
total. Mine are in freestanding stacks all over the floor and
in some boxes. But I am not parting with mine any time soon.
I'd like to peruse them at least one more time and rip most of
them.
I know one fellow who ripped his modest CD collection onto an
iPod (one of the earlier ones that had a HDD, 160GB?) ..and
then simply tossed the CDs into landfill. He wasn't interested
to wait and see who might like the original physical copies.
He wasn't anything like a fussy audiophile, so 128 kbps
versions were good enough for him.
I am currently enjoying the Bad Company recording "10 from 6".
I recognize a couple of the radio hits from it, but the others
are really quite refreshing and interesting too! The tune
"Ready for Love" has a nice pace and sound.

Very true. There's, for exampe, two releases of the Zoolook
album by Jean Michel Jarre. One has Zoolookologie and the
other has a remix which I much prefer. Same artist and
Revolutions. The title track is different after a rights
issue and I prefer the original. It makes a difference.

I was thinking just take high quality pictures and post
them and let people look through :)

Well, if you want any more, let me know before they on
Discogs :) If you're looking for anything specific, let me
know.

I've ripped a lot of mine, but the problem is, if the
copyright police come looking for you, you better be able
to prove you've got them.
I'm similar. 128kbps is fine for what I need. If I really
want quality and depth of sound, I'm going to listen to the
vinyl.
Last year pre-covid, someone donated a prestine collection of
Time/Life, and another brand of CDs of the music from the 50s
60s 70s 80s rock. About 80 pcs. People snatched those up for $7
a piece. That was a good day.

You're selling these on Discogs?

Maybe that's something I could do, though I don't know if
3000 CDs is enough to open a stop plus I'd have to hire
someone to work it since I have a day job and then rent on
the place. I doubt it'd pay for itself unless I sold other
stuff.
There's an app by the MusicBrainz team called Picard which
is supposed to be able to identify a CD by reading it. I
guess like the old cddb stuff. I might give that a try. I
do have a barcode scanner and a script that looks up on
MusicBrainz and Discogs but reading the cd and certain data
that can be got from it may be quicker and more accurate.
