I think I'd say frightened rather than threatened!

I don't yet have 2,000 CDs. I was referring to "reinerfan"'s 18,000 CDs.Originally posted by Flosshilde View PostIs that just your collection of Alpensinfonie recordings?Comment

A deal - I am given that (or a similar) CD and EVERYTHING ELSE goes to Oxfam, or the skip etc.

At least it's now legal to rip CDs. I'm guessing that one would, strictly speaking, then need to bin them rather than hand them on?!Comment

I've mostly recovered from big box addiction. Psychologically there's something nice about single disks. I'm aware that this is illogical but "record" collecting isn't a particularly logical thing to do, particularly in these days of unlimited lossless streaming....Originally posted by jayne lee wilson View Post
Of course one of the joys of ripping losslessly is that one can covert boxed sets back to single disc first edition releases which has given me disproportionate pleasure!Comment

I think this means that you can hear any music any time you want. If I am correct (this is an area which does not interest me, hence my vagueness), don't people who use this suffer from the sheer 'unlimitedness' of what's available?Originally posted by mathias broucek View Post
If I want to hear a particular work from my CD collection, I can get it from the shelves in the knowledge that I have given considerable thought to buying it - so I know it's a recording I want to hear. If everything is available, I fear that I would spend hours trying to select from the vastness of what's on offer.
Isn't that a major drawback to unlimited availability?Comment

I agree. Choosing what to listen to from an unlimited selection would be daunting indeed!Originally posted by VodkaDilc View Post
It's hard enough from one's own collection.... We sometimes pick a number at random (collection is numbered) as a way to break through the confusionComment

Enough of this soul-searching! Shostakovich: Symphonies - Kitajenko (Capriccio) 12 sacds for £17.41 delivered. This appears to be a flip top box not the earlier jewel cases so very little pressure on space.

It's a great set, wonderfully recorded, and I paid a lot more than that for it several years agoOriginally posted by hafod View PostComment

That Kitaenko set has my interest!"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

The two weakest ones in the set are 5 and 10, perhaps Shosty's two most frequently performed symphonies. Otherwise, it's very strong across the board. Particularly excellent are 4, 6-9, and 11Comment
