Duplicates

OK, this is the strangest thing ever:

When any couple comes together and combines their CD collections, there is bound to be a few duplicates: CDs that both couples own a copy of. My husband and I have a few duplicates. Some of them are real duplicates, in that we each separately bought a copy of the CD. But some of them are duplicates because it was a CD that one of us really liked so we copied it for the other person. In any case, there are two of them. Or at least, there were.

Ever since we moved, every single CD that we had a duplicate of is gone. Both of them.

I find this incredibly perplexing. Where did these CDs go? And why did BOTH copies vanish? It also puts us in the unfortunate position of every CD we both liked being gone.

Now this doesn't mean that dozens of CDs are missing. But it's definitely a good few. 40 Oz to Freedom is gone, Tragic Kingdom, and By the Way. What the hell happened to them??

    1. That would be bad because we sold one of our cars when we moved.

    2. I have found many CDs under the seats in my car. Also in one long-lost cd case, which I accidentally found one day. In a bag. In my car.

      I will say though that the quality of music is better digitally, and CDs lose quality over time with getting scratched. Given Murphy's law, it's gonna be your most favourite song that skips all the time. May as well just buy again and use an MP3 player. They take less space, too.

  4. Not to be mean, but this pretty much makes you ancient. As in, who buys CDs anymore? I'm afraid that, by the time I'll go live with my boyfriend, we'll only have CDs to fill a shoe box. Kinda sad.

    1. We moved = four years ago.

      I haven't bought a CD in probably ten years. But how am I supposed to get all the songs off my old CDs if I can't find them? Do I now have to buy them all over again?

    2. Probably as said above, in the land of unpaired socks. Hateful thing, how only duplicates disappeared! Not a chance that maybe you let someone borrow them, since you had another copy... and then let someone else borrow the other copy... and then somehow no copies at all?

  7. The better question: why do you still care about CDs? All my music is in mp3 files. Just buy yourself an external hard drive with 120 GB and you'll have storage for life. Then download all your songs online. There are sites with free mp3 files. Or just buy it, but don't carry around CD's. That takes up space and it's a waste.

    1. I spent over $20 for some of those CDs. It seems wrong I should have to pay twice.

  8. My husband and I have been married for three years, together for eight. Our CD collections are still separate. Best way to stop the duplicate CDs from eloping- different CD racks in different rooms.
