[2005] What do you do with your CD's?
 

When you get your pruchase through the mail or when you buy them do:

1. Never open it
2. Open it in a heartbeat and listen to it
3. Open some, but I also keep some unopened
4. On some CD's/All CD's I buy one and leave it un opened and but the exact same one and listen to it.
5. Other (Please Specify)

1. Never do that.

2. Tend not to, if it's something fresh I haven't downloaded to listen to prior to purchasing, I like to savour the flavour of the music when I'm not busy.

3. Tend to be what I do most often, I only don't open some because I don't have time to deal/listen to it yet, or because I've already heard the mp3s so I'm not as eager, I never buy CDs to keep them forever sealed. o_O

4. Don't have that money, rather spend it on more different music if I were to buy two copies of the same thing simultaneously with that in mind.

So I guess that's 75% option 3 and 23% option 5?

I just open them, I buy CDs to listen to them and to check out the artwork.

Open and listen to it. I would probably find it waste of the CD if I didn't do that.

I'd open it carefully, wash my hands. check the artwork, and listen to it! ^^

I buy, open, listen.

Number two. Then, I usually rip MP3s and put the CD away.

I open it and listen to it, I prefer to listen to CDs instead of mp3s because I could listen to a CD anywhere, it will play in most things.

i choose other
most of my cd's is opened without any doubt.... xcept for ayu's concert cds

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

lol voted for other I don´t even own an original CD XDXD

i throw it into my computer, i rip em to my harddrive, and i sell it on ebay :yes

jk jk i should do that tho :yes

i dont buy many cd's theres very little CD's that I think are 100% buyable, usually i only liek 2 tracks, but theres a few that are worth it.

I open it in a heartbeat and listen to it. Although I do open the CD carefully, because I keep the cellophane from a Japanese album if it has a sticker on it.

Yeah, thats what I do too, unless I don't have any CD-Rs with me, I tend not to listen to the real thing a lot of times.

I do too. Then I look at the booklet during 2 hours and realize how lucky I am to have the CD.

Me 2 :D lol

Erm, the import CD's I buy and open, but I immediately make a copy of it and don't actually listen to the original CD.

well i definitely don't just leave it unopened, and i don't buy 2 copies either. generally i'll open it bu tkeep the entire package in mint condition. (cd, case, etc.)...i even stick the sticker on the wrap onto the case.

:D I put the stickers on this thing that holds all the paper stuff that comes with CD's (not booklets).

The next one when I get THE Manpower!!!

The theme for Rakuten sticker is goin on my cell phone... :D

One thing I love about Japan version, is that their factory seal is even designed for you to open neatly, that way you can open it and keep it mint with sticker on shrinkwrap with OBI on the side and everything!

From buying 2nd hand CDs, I've noticed sliding the OBI in the jewel case between the booklets is probably a better idea than chucking them all together jumbled up in a box though. It saves alot of trouble when you want to find it and refer to something.

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)

Open it in a heartbeat and listen to it.

I never understand why some people buys CDs & not opening them at all

it's just so ... dumb to me . More or less defeats the whole purpose in buying a CD in the 1st place

you buy a CD & you're supposed to listen to it , not put it in your room & used it as a coaster :rolleyes

"Open it in a heartbeat and listen to it." I buy CDs because I want to listen to them, I don't buy CDs if I'm not going to even listen to them. :P

i just open to check the artwork, but i don't play it

2nd option: Open the CD's, and listen to them.

I buy, open to look at how the CD, booklet etc looks, and then I put it away.

Open it in a heartbeat and listen to it. ---> the reason why i buy it

I take it out of the plastic extremely carefully, open the case, rip the music from the cd, copy the dvd, and then put the CDs back in the plastic...seal it...and then back into the bubble wrap...

and then away to collect dust :P

I open them right away, listen, and then put in the bubblewarp and keep them in my car. I doubt anyone would stel them. :D

some people like to collect them :shrug

i open them and look at the booklet.. sometimes rip them if i'm not lazy. if i already have it in high quality i don't bother lol. then they collect dust on my shelf.

Yeah maybe it's because I'm not used to paying $35-50 for a CD...even a single...

but no CD in the world is worth that much to me to just be used as a regular CD...

thats why I would have mine be like collectors items...which is also why I don't buy a lot of them.

I will later, when I have my own munny. But for right now...I take good care of the ones I have, and I don't use them.

Open it in a heartbeat and listen to it.

yeah I know , these are deemed serious collectors

I'm not at all which I probably will not understand them

told you I'm a weird idiot :lmfao T_T

i listen to them over and over .
depending on the CD, i wouldnt dare rip them.
also like peeling off the pretty stickers and sticking them to where my other CD stickers go :D

Open it in a heartbeat :laugh

i open them, look at the album art and stuff. rip the cd if i don't have the hq yet.. yeah and thats it

5. Open CD's and immediately situate them in my bookshelf.

The songs off each album I buy are already downloaded onto my computer prior to purchasing.
