Is music on your older CD’s any good

Apparently CD's over time are becoming unplayable. This makes me cringe as I have nearly 1000 CD's, and this means I am going to have to start copying the raw tracks to hard-drives.

I’m Back and on the road again

As you all noticed it was a very light posting week. Quite honestly I needed a break and being back on the job has me coming home completely exhausted. It is hard to believe that my spine injury has had such a dramatic effect on my life, and I suppose I am at odd's with the doctor when he tells
