sell it to the cash converter, set up store in Sungei Road and sell them or the bestest way is do CHC to hoodwink the church goers they always support blindly like they support gong hee.

cash converters will pay like 10 cents a cd?

i did think of renting a flea market stall but maybe just better to give away

Keep them. You never know if some collector wants them, especially if the case and liner notes are still intact.

Also, you can convert audio files to many formats, some lossless. m4a, FLAC, Ogg. 320kbps MP3 if you want the highest quality.

CD AIFF files are far superior in sound quality compared to MP3.

Throwing away AIFF and replacing with MP3 is the last thing on earth you want to do.

It's all about brand and marketing. They need not necessarily sound better.

Why not keep them:confused:

I keep my original CDs in case I need to re-rip them when I replace my computers. The ripped versions of the music are usually of lower quality because of the lower sampling rate used. Not everyone has the storage space to store them at the higher sample rate.

I sometimes listen to the originals because I still have my HiFi system

Believe me, there are people rich enough to buy these speakers...I have seen CD player that cost half that price....in some deep pocket person house...never mind the cost of the rest of the set up...


If you look at Adelphi now many stores are making way for womens beauty salons, handbag shops,.... Shows who has the spending power in Spore:biggrin:

There are fewer people who are buying the large & expensive hardware like Krell, Mcintosh,... These things last a lifetime & you won't find many repeat customers.
