How many unopened Cd's do you have?

[Harry]

That is nice to know. When my next paycheck comes, I will send my music orders directly to YOU then! 

Well I have a few leftovers, if that's what you mean Paul.

[Florestan]

I sincerely hope so my friend, otherwise bad luck, but this option is better as not buying them.

Had you been a Pharaoh, you'd have been buried with the unheard ones.

I had a friend who used to say "it's better to have them and not need them than it is to need them and not have them."

He wasn't speaking of CD's, but I think that the sentiment applies here.

Yes, that was the idea my friend.

He was speaking of wives, right?

Yes absolutely, I will remember that.

About 18. 

Ah - that great Dali painting! (I saw it many years ago in the Thyssen/Bornemisza Museum in Madrid and bought a print; then it turned up first in the Dali show in Philadelphia 2 years ago, and then in the Spanish show at the Guggenheim earlier this year - hope you saw it.)

[Larry Rinkel]

Yes, that was the idea my friend.

They couldn't build a sarcophagus large enough.

Oh my, about 60 plus for opened but unheard. I pick stuff at the used bookstore all the time and I got this big glot of CDs from an estate sale that I still haven't waded through. Big choral stuff and/or really long works count among the unlistened to.

Like Mark, I also have downloads and CD-R from friends that are really piling up, and don't know when I'll get around to them. (Still haven't finished that Dorati Haydn yet!) In fact, I feel I spend a lot of time just deciding what to even listen to lately!

No, I have only seen a few in person. I was very startled by the size. 

I have this great book though: http://www.amazon.com/Dali-Paintings-Robert-Descharnes/dp/3822835536/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-2949723-2736732?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1181141796&sr=1-1

Got it at the Strand in NYC for a steal. It has most of the paintings he's ever done, in decent print. 

[George]

Close - phone numbers.

I open everything I get nowadays, but the piles to be listen too are huge, not to say enormous.
Waiting would be about 600 cd's given or take a few.

Then I say 600+ for unopened/unheard. That sounds the best  . The problem is that I buy all of these OOP and budget CD's, and borrow a lot of CD's from the library at the same time...

[Solitary Wanderer]

I always have approx. 10 max. unopened cds at any time. I like having that number 'up my sleeve' so to speak. I don't want more than that at this stage but who knows...?

By the way, I LOVE removing the cellophane from a new cd

The sticky security tag can be a pain sometimes  but when you get the thing off in one piece it feels good!

I know a sweet way to remove them. Unhook the side opposite the label from the bottom. Then simply peel.

Generally when a new CD arrives at my house either from an online retailer or brought home by me, the first thing I do is open it and rip it to an MP3 and pop it onto my iPod. It gets listened to that evening if work isn't occupying me or the following weekend when I have a few hours to spend. I purchase maybe a dozen CDs per month at best--often fewer, so it's not too difficult to keep up with them all.

Yep George I'm onto that. However depending on the glue/gum they use and how old it is that method isn't always 100% successful

[BachQ]

Unopenened and unheard: 453

True. I sometimes have to put some tape over the sticky part. 

[johnQpublic]

None.
I listen to every CD I buy within the same week generally, but again I don't buy an awful lot  0:)

Same with me.......are you my missing twin? 

[Solitary Wanderer]

Yes, I use some tape to remove the gum that gets left on the jewel case
