I buy it, then listen to them when I have the time. Otherwise, what's the point of the having the CD if you don't open it? Hope it increases in value ten-fold in five years? o_O

I saw alot of this on Post Your Collections thread and alot of people had unopened one.

I guess they just like to collect them and maybe sell them later when they want to and/or you no longer become a fan of her.

I open my cds then look through the booklet, Rip the Cd on my computer, Put the music on my Ipod, and last stack the cd up.

Let me write down what i do step.. by step

1.I recieve it
2.I take the packaging off
3.I inspect the CD
4.I open the CD Case
5.JAM IT IN THE CD PLAYER, MRAAHA!
6.Listen to it

^___^ hee hee

^Yup, I do the same thing.^

I'd never be able to just rip it and leave the CD alone. I mean if I'm spending $17.99 to $29.75 for it, I might as well enjoy it...^-^

If it's a CD only version I just open it to see the artwork XD if it's a DVD version also I watch it to enjoy it to the fullest quality.

Exactly O__O thats what baffles me when people buy them and then dont actually open them O__O

I 3rd that feeling! :eyebrow
I can't keep stuff unopened, it's just my personality, also.
I buy>wait>recieve>open>listen>collect
The longest time I've kept a single of Ayu's wrapped was for...12 hours? Hehe I tried!

Open and play the CD. I don't even take the time to rip mine, because I'm so clueless when it comes to technical things.

Lmao! I do almost the exact thing.
I get the package.
Open it carefully so i don't scratch it.
wash my hands before i open the wrapping
open the wrapping
carefully stare at the booklet, turning the pages with carefulness...
then, i turn on my CD player
Carefully set the case and the obi in a safe place.
and i listen, listen, LISTEN!
then, i put my precious CD case where everyone can see it.
And then...later that exact day, i rip it to my computer.


And. I ALWAYS take caution when i move the CDs from one place to another.
NONE of them (exept my crappy britney spears CD i never listen to and dont care about) Have scratches on them. (even visible scracthes that don't affect the playback don't exist)
(Neither does my PRECIOUS Inuyasha movie 2 <3)
and soon to be my Ayumi Hamasaki Arena tour 2005 My Story VCD <3

Open it in a heartbeat and listen to it

1. Haha, yeah right.

2. Yes. I might put the wrapping back over it though.

3. I do this too. EG - I have both the CD+DVD and CD+2DVD of Black Cherry, and the CD+2DVD I haven't opened/

4. Pssh, you kidding me?

I open it like a madman and listen to it right away xD!

Open it in a heartbeat and listen to it.

:yes

Open it in a heartbeat and listen to it. ^^

Open some, but I also keep some un opened

Open some, but I also keep some un opened

Like if i downloaded the album i don't need to open it XD!

I open it in a matter of SECONDS as soon as it's arrived through the door and listen to it in at least 30 seconds. (My longest time was 5 mins when I had a Madonna CD and it was shrinkwrapped)
