Who has the most CDs here?
 

I am looking into buying a nice CD case to house my entire collection.

This is becoming a grand problem of mine.

I am around 1500-1700? of CDs. I have been buying and just putting in my *new towers* for the past year or so to avoid the issue of tacky stacks of towers and CDs, but I am now organizing them,...alphabetizing them, anyone else have a buttload of CDs, what do you use for storage and/or organization?

Right now I have the standard CD towers that hold about 175 a piece, but man I got 9 of these farking things, I just need a wallsize rack or something.

Any ideas?

:smokin

No I dont wanna rip them all to disk. I like buying imports and love sleeve art, fuck mp3s.

:winkwink:

Hmmm... I only buy music in the genre I am mainly interested in. But I ran a mp3 ftp site for a couple years and I have easily in excess of 5000 full cds. All Oi and hardcore. And that is small compared to some release groups hqs and drop sites that I have seen.

5000 Real CDs or 5k Mp3 Cds?

Either way, thats a lot of shit.

Nice.

:thumbsup

5000 cd rips. You do know you can burn them back to cd and play them in a regular stereo right without any loss of sound quality from the original right? I think I have only burned a couple mp3 cds.

My car stereo can play mp3 cds and its nice because you can fit 10 normal cds on one mp3 cd. And a proper rip at 192k+, you cant tell the difference between the original and the rip.

God I love mp3.

You been on any of the irc channels or in any of the newsgroups? More music out there than you could ever possibly download. God forbid you find some good dedicated traders, its like heaven.

nah, to be honest bro I havent ever really listened to much mp3s.

Its all too much Cloak And Dagger shit just to get some tunes. I use to use Bearshare like 2 years ago or so. That disappeared, moved to Kazaa. Most of the shit I find*rare stuff anyway* is usually not even the full songs and Since I do Audio normally, the quality is such shit it annoys me just to even listen to it.

Although, I would be interested in any suggestions?

IRC you say?

I can ircle or mirc it.

:winkwink:

indeed, at 192k+ the quality is amazing,even the stereo freaks won't see any difference. I still buy cds, but not like in the past.

Dude I havent turned on mIRC in like 5 months - rarely ever use it.

Fucking thing is telling me I am being AutoKilled on all connection attempts.

i think Adelphia is banned from the network.

"You are not welcome on this network."

hahahaha

Wow yeah, you are seriously missing out. Not much cloak and dagger really. Its all right out in the open. :)

If you hop on irc, join an efnet server and join a channel like #albumhq . Tons of daily releases. Mosty top 40 shit, but you will be amazed at the amount of stuff being served on their bots. All of it quality rips, I refuse to grab mp3s off kazaa or any p2p. Joe Smacktard at home wouldnt know how to rip an mp3 if his life depended on it. Once in that channel, you can whois everyone else and see where they are. You can go to mp3 specific channels like #mp3punk and any one of a dozen other derivatives. That and everyone has their own ftp sites setup so you can find just about anything.

If you got usenet, jump on alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.heavy-metal, there is a pretty good group of dedicated people there and you can grab a good 10 to 15 cds a day off there of just all sorts of metal. Alt.binaries.punk is another half assed one cept it is mostly frequented by either VERY old school punk guys that listen to shit nobody likes, or kids and their god damn Blink 182 mall punk crap shit. Still some gems in there however.

If you can get hooked up with a good ftp, you'll never buy another cd again. I would open mine back up but they capped my upstream, that and it was getting to large. I figured ISP would catch on sooner or later.

Try irc.rt.ru as your server, they let anyone on. I am on Comcast and they are shitcanned everywhere as well.

"FXXX"already in use.

Hah.

Have to think of something new.

:smokin

Oh, and if you jump on irc, the bots will have nicks like mp3|dcc12 or some shit very similar. If you want to see what it has without waiting to have it spew its list in the channel. They will be the ones with the +'s in front of their nicks.

/ctcp botname xdcc list

And that will spit out its contents for you.

then you can move on to warez. weeeeee good stuff.

and my bad, its #musichq not albumshq

Tons of warez in #isomega and #isocore

Anyone wanna point me to other good iso channels, listem if ya got em.

Sheeeet, wake n bake on this shit is hrtin my eyes.

<img src=http://69khz.com/images/irc.gif border="1">

You gotta get a script and filter out the shit. make it easier on the eyes.

Yay, downloading the new Bone Thugs before it even hits the stores. Fun fun.

Nice.

Well, I have no fucking clue what Im doin in here.

Im watching the screen scroll stoned .

No clue.

Im old school man, tradin 7 inch vinyls and patches hahaha,..

I burn mp3s of my friends shit, and all that but never traded or ripped bought shit, new grounds...

Id rock that fucking Bone Thugs, sheeeet.

Im hafta figure this shit out today.

script? filter?

huh?

:smokin

Yeah, can be a little overwhelming at first. Thats a good sized channel.

Mirc scripts. The good thing about mirc is it is skinnable so to speak. I use Extreme Mirc. ooooh sounds impressive. Anyhow, http://www.mircscripts.org/comments.php?id=1013 you can get it there. Make things easier to look at for sure. You can change everything about it, font, color, all that crap.

Once you see something you want, just tell the bot to send it to you. its that simple.

/ctcp botname xdcc send #2 (or whatever the package # is that you want)

For example, want that Bone Thugs? Just type in /ctcp m-dcc04 xdcc send #2

And you will have it shortly.

Thats it. Free music, software, and movies all day long.

Setting up a pc to devote to it.

Will be up shortly.

:thumbsup

Have you ran into a good irc channel or newsgroup
to grab some good DiVx stuff?

Or if anyone knows about some good source
for horror/splatter divx hit me up on ICQ 9203112, thanks!

"DCC rejected. File type ignored.

:(

:glugglug

Have no idea...

Rejected by your mirc client or the bot?

File type ignored. Look in your dcc options and see if there is a setting in there thats is telling your client to ignore files of a certain type. Paranoid scripts will reject things that it may think are dangerous.

Did you download the script, or are you using old school default mirc?

I think CDsmith would have the most CD's

Im not too big on spending a few hours downloading a gig movie so I can watch a bootleg copy of Star Wars from China. :)

They are there, those iso channels I posted should have most of the movies in there that are currently in theatres.

I am positive divx channels exist for what you want, its just a matter of finding them. Start whois'ing the people in those channels and you will see where they are getting them from. I never been big on the pirate movie stuff.

The CD in CD Smith stands for Cum Drinker, not compact disc.

HeHeHe :1orglaugh

On the new machine, I just downloaded 6:03mirc.exe and installed and used the efnet server you gave me.

:winkwink:

On DCC ignore, I had ignore all *except...

Found it.

Connection established.

Receiving file.

meanwhile playing "4:BrandNewGod"

"Ohhhh, didnt take too long"

:smokin

Titts. Welcome to the world of free stuff. :)

.tar?

:stoned

I was always under the impression you were mad computer geek. ahahah

tar is compression like .zip for example. Most warez and music you are gonna find are gonna be tarred or rar'ed or both.

Donwload a program called WinRar. Small, free, and use it like WinZip basically.

In ways. But not when it comes to internet music transfer. I use shit like this to compress. One of a couple...

<img src=http://www.zzounds.com/g/l/BELRP583.jpg border="1">

hehehe

But have never dealt with .tars - honestly I dont file share at all.

I sit on machines and dump to disc, never traded or shared a file.

heheh

This is what I use, but I have a smaller one that holds VHS, DVDs and CDs, but you can mix and match pieces and add sections as you require more room.

Acvtually no.

I have been painting my apt all day.

Just sat down to smoke a bowl.

hahaha.

.tar is the shit!

$700?
Good lord thats a lot of money!

Bout to begin searching.

:smokin

Labret, whats the best filserver around now a days?

Any prefs?

I dont know what the hell that is, but I love retro looking stuff with knobs and buttons. That sounds dirty.

I have never used one before. Just always been ftp for me. There must be some damn good ones out as I see a shitload of people using them.

New a fileserver? I can build you one. or sell you a CHEAP IBM

IBM X330 P1.26G/256/ 8674-32X OPEN $1400
4*160Gb IDE disks $1300

ahahahaha

what... I can make a "offbrand" for half the price... what does it cost in your country ? just for the fun of it?

he talking about something completely different.

ouu.. sorry.. just scrolled through and saw "need fileserver" and the little green salesperson devil came out.. the official IBM prise is $1689 just so you know :2 cents:
