Yes, I use some tape to remove the gum that gets letf on the jewel case  ;)

Want to get sticky marks off of CD cases ... and even CDs? T-Cut (or similar lightly abrasive car polishing liquid). Works like a charm, and even gets scratched discs working again. ;)

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

Put some peanut butter or salad oil over the sticky label and scratch them together with your fingernail.  The stickiness will come right off.  Afterwards use several tissues to remove the mess.  Viola!  No scratches on your CD case.

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

JPC has a new contender and Harry is using their own stock against them by starting up his own business with the cds he has bought from them!

Send all your orders to harry at his new "HPC"!   :D ;D

This suggestion reminds me of that Simpsons episode where everyone in town was suggesting different ways of removing the gum from Lisa's hair.  ;D

Yes, I've heard that before Mark but never tried it. I've also heard that toothpaste works too!

Smooth and not Crunchy peanut butter I presume ;)

The sanest suggestion I have tried is either lighter fluid or Rubbing Alcohol, as they don't leave any mess to clean up.

Rubbing alcohol can melt plastic though :-\

Alcohol works well too.

As for me, I buy a lot of box sets, so it often takes me some time to go through them. I have a few CDs to which I haven't listened, but they're all in my "to sell" pile. Mostly leftovers from when I worked at Tower and could afford impulse buys.

Re. all the "cd case label residue" talk:

Furniture polish works best IMO (least mess/fuss/weirdness), makes the slime left by the label easy to rub off and is also good for rubbing a tiny bit over the rest of the case if it was on a shop shelf - to remove fingerprints and stuff.

Peanut butter, flour and sugar do not make cookies. They make FIRE.

somewhere around 400-500  - I hope.

Indeed. Though I suspect many of our members tend to run out of it quickly and have to resort to things like pickle juice and apricot preserves.  ;D

I have at the moment more CD's I haven't listened to than ever: 20 CD's or so! :o
Thanks to this forum and all the bargains to be found on the net! ;D

The reason some items take a while before being listened to, is that it depends on when I'm in the mood for some music. Bach items will be listened to within days, but I'm not always in the mood for Bruckner's 9th. And listening to an opera requires more time, as I like the first listening to be in one go.

To change the topic somewhat, what's the oldest sealed recording you own? Mine's a Boulez Sacre du Printemps LP, bought in 1985 around the same time I bought my first CD player. I was so enraptured by my new toy, and Sacre CDs (Maazel and Boulez), I soon forgot my poor old LPs..even the ones that weren't so old.
