Nicely done!

Also, solving your problem could be as simple as moving to Shelbyville...

You only get to make a drastic decision once in your life... so when do you make it.

DVDs are already obsolete.. Just sayin'.
My tv and movie collection amounts to just over 1.5TB. Which is about 500 movies, and somewhere in the region of 90 series of TV.

And it all fits inside my computer \o/

They're not obsolete if I can still put one into the player, connect it to the TV and enjoy watching it!

Obsolete doesn't mean unenjoyable, it just means less efficient and outdated. Similar to how records are obsolete, but hipsters claim they give a better sound. They don't. Digital does. Get out of the way of progress, you Luddites!

Records are great! There's history and personal experience in a record collection. There's feck all in a down-load collection.

I argue that there is just as much of a personal experience in a digital collection of music as there is in a record collection. I don't just get random songs and not listen to them, they're all discovered over time, a chunk of my cash is spent on them, and then they're organised into folders and playlists to suit my mood over many years, outlasting records in durability, with no degredation of quality over time.

And while there is only about ten years of history to my digital collection of music, are you denying that they will accrue history over their and my lifetime? Can a record collection really hold more history than a digital collection? I think the only cause of my collection's small history is simply a lack elapsed time.

I accept that the current format will become obsolete, probably soon, but it's easily transferable to another format, and will last for generations, with far less degredation and maintenance, as far as I can see.

Here here well said. Digital media is a unique aquired taste taking days on end just to collect one song. A collection that holds closes songs from the dawn of time to the latest edition realeased 10seconds ago.

I think part of the reasoning behind my point comes from how the music industry has changed since records came and went. Today you can download a few albums in the time it takes to eat your dinner, often for free. There was a time (before we were born :pac: ) when you had to save up for the album, wait for the release date or happen to find it by luck or get it as a gift. There was cover art and something to hold in your hands.

I'm not arguing that the collection of songs you download doesn't tell a story. I'm suggesting that the way the music is acquired, stored and played (usually through head-phones) is less socially interesting than, for example, seeing the look on someone's face when they take the original "Bat Out Of Hell" out of its sleeve for the first time in a few decades.

I know I'm probably coming across as sentimental.

If Reeling In The Years is anything to go by, then there could well be something valuable in your collection. Sure even the Spice Girls is a fascinating social phenomenon to look back on at this stage! :pac:

PseudoFamous wrote: »

The angle I'm coming from here is that the collection is less impressive, less of a personal artefact, when it's a collection of easily acquired file-names on a disc. The music itself still tells a story, and you could probably tell me some fantastic tales about what different artists/albums/songs mean to you, but it's harder to get attached when it looks like code on a screen instead of something precious.

+1, hopefully. Even after what I've written above, I still don't want to lose the music I've slowly been putting together on my laptop! :eek:

You're probably quite upset now:(


My tuppence on the music thing; I think nostalgia comes into play when using older formats, there's no doubt that digital is superior in almost every way, but think about this: The feeling of pushing a VHS tape into the machine; magical:D

What I don't like about digital is how you can lose everything, I lost about 200GB of movies and 20GB music. Building my library up again was a real pain!

Davidius

Too much attention is given to music by young people. There are more important things to worry about, like pogs and Batman.

Oh well now ...... The VHS can never ever be replaced. I have 3 vcrs just for sentimental reasons. Even went so far out of my way to buy the first video I was ever given by my mam. Riverdance. Course it was not the same video but its just the history behind it.

What ever happened. Always back up on ex hard drive imo. Mo!

So seeing as today was my first proper post-christmas day off I decided to organise my room properly. I discovered that I need to stop buying DVD's and shoes.

That's only about half my shoes, I have another 7 or so pairs of boots/heels/doll shoes and then other runners in my dads.

Either that or up my game and start buying loads more to make proper collections out of them...

Is it weird that I'm a girl with 1 pair of high heels, 1 pair of everyday shoes, and 1 pair of converse for if I'm doing something muddy? Everyone else seem to have so many pairs of shoes

shannon_tek

Does anybody know if Will Smith done a video for coca cola. With sabrina the teenage witch sitting on a couch. I could swear the dream was so real.

See there's three problems with that. I hate watching stuff on my laptop, same with the computer. It just annoys me.

Secondly I don't have a HD tv or anything I can plug my laptop into my tv with, it's at least 10 years old.

Thirdly there would be no point in me investing in a blu ray player or blu rays because of said crap tv.

So I'm happy with DVD's

Just want to share this. cause well its true.

I have two pairs of heels, one I got for a wedding I was going to, the other I wear sometimes. I usually wear flats out so I've like 3 pairs of them and 3 pairs of boots.

99% of the time I live in some sort of converse though.

I had a similar number until I came home for Christmas and realised my sister had stolen and destroyed some.

I had a look there and realised I have way more shoes than a man should own:o But each has their purpose, I'm not like a woman who has 10 different pairs depending on her mood!:pac:

shadowninty

I have four pairs of shoes I actually wear, and two pairs of like, reserve shoes. I'm classy.

Seren_

Just saw Screaminmidget's post of the day in YLYL, I've been laughing for like 10 minutes straight!! It even got posted on my FB

suitcasepink

I must count how many shoes I own.. Most are cheap crappy ones but they all hold a symbolic place in my heart.

Cakes.

I only had 3 pairs up until the start of December and now I have 8 :pac:

I have 3 pairs of runners, one is a good pair for town and stuff, one is for actually doing stuff in, and the other is for messy things.

I have one pair of converse.

I have 3 pairs of dressy shoes.

And another pair of cheap pennies ones :P

soccymonster

I have 7 pairs of converse, a pair of working shoes, a pair of cheapy penneys uggs and a pair of flats.

If I wore heels, I'd go through the roof...seriously :P

cloud493

I own.. 3 pairs of shoes. In total.

I'm so very jealous of you. I hate the fact that when I wear heels I still look stupidly short, especially when my very tall friends are wearing flats and are still towering over me!!

I don't actually know how many pairs of shoes I own.. I don't think I want to count, I'll just feel ashamed.

Aoifey!

Oh, I just remembered I got new shoes for Christmas so that make 2 pairs of everyday shoes! I'm moving up in the world

Pigwidgeon

I'm 5 foot 9, nearly 10 and a lot of my friends are quite short so I usually wear flats.

That and I can't walk in heels for the life of me.
