A couple of years ago, I ripped all my CD's to a backup hard drive, then sold the CD's to a place that sells second-had books and music CD's and vinyl. I didn't get much money out of it, enough to pay for a decent dinner for the wife and me, but I sure did get rid of a lot of clutter. And I can pull up those albums anytime I want from the hard drive.The amazing thing is that those 800 CDs can now be ripped to a single thumb drive, in uncompressed format, with the cover art and liner notes included for most.
Now that’s my idea of decluttering!
