r/CDs

Really want a copy of Evergreen’s “Seven Songs,” but I can’t find a cd version on discogs, and was wondering how I could go about making a “bootleg” for my personal listening. Asking mostly for measurements for the cover, back cover and spine

Hi, what do you think? It's ok to store (some) CDs in the booklets with CD sleeves (I don't know the technical name, sorry) or is a sacrilege and a purist should only store CDs in its boxes and pile them in shelves for CDs?

Been trying to rip my CDs on VLC to put on my new mp3 player , but everytime I try to convert / save it as an mp3, it says it's size is 0 bytes and it's unplayable on my laptop. VLC has also been crashing a lot ..... is it due to VLC? The CDs? I tried ripping Oh No - OK Go, OK Go- OK Go and Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge - my chemical romance. Am i doing something wrong? I just followed VLC tutorials..... HELP ME

Hey I'm new here but in a bit of a pickle. Not sure where else to turn and figured yall would know what to do if anyone.

As the title says I have a CD stuck in the player in my car. I have tried a few ways to get it out like:

• the tape on the card trick (would it help to use something stronger than a plastic card??)
• wiggling another cd in there to try to trigger the mechanism
• Letting the system completely shut off before rebooting it to try to get it to either read the disc or eject it

My car has no emergency disc eject feature, and is not reading the disc either. When I press the eject button a quiet whirring noise can be heard for not even half a second as it says "ejecting disc...". Every once in a while the car will try to eject the disc as if I've pressed the button, so I think it knows something is stuck in there.

Last time this happened, I was moping around for a few days and trying the above methods to no luck, before turning on the car one day to find that it was reading the disc. I was able to eject it then to get it barely poking out and grabbable.

Anyway does anyone have any other tips?? I've tried the tape thing a million times and it's not working and I'm trying not to risk ruining my player but who knows.

Would attaching a photo help?

Thanks

Hi. First post here. I have 500+ CDs that I don't know what to do with that are stored in plastic sleeves along with the CD covers. However, I don't have jewel cases or the back covers for them. I intend to keep about 50 of them, but I'd like to be able to get rid of the rest. Is there any used market for these? Or do I need the case and all the covers to be able to sell them? Thanks for your help.

The disc is cute!

I'm a huge fan of the French reissue label "Culture Factory."

They offer a wonderfully understated lineup of albums in meticulously crafted paper sleeves.

For example, they carefully pick up works that major labels tend to overlook, such as Ringo Starr's solo albums from his less-known period, and James Brown's albums from his struggling disco era.

While Japanese labels are more common for paper sleeve reissues, Culture Factory is just as good.
