Go, Dawg!

I'm excited for some of the digital releases for sure!
I only keep hard CDs anymore when I have them autographed and really don't have much of anything to listen to them on anyway.

OK, I'll admit I am old school and still listen to CDs. But my other main use for them is stringing them up, maybe 4 or 5 to a string, with a weight on the end, and hanging them in the open doorways of the barns. The flash of the sun reflecting on them keeps the starlings, sparrows and pigeon out. How the heck am I going to do this when CDs go away? Will the starlings finally win?

I do this too, to keep squirrels, etc. out of the peach trees when they're ripening. I've still got some old AOL software CD's in use, so I don't think I'm going to be caught short.

I'd have a hard time doing it with music CDs, though, unless they were truly damaged. Seems wrong somehow

I agree, it might not feel quite right, but I can think of a few 'performers' who's CDs might find their most appreciated use on a string, not in a player!

We used to get those AOL CDs in the mail all the time. All sorts of things came with user manuals on CD for a while, too. Now I have to dig around for no longer needed CDs for this purpose, or damaged CDs that no longer play.

As I sit here reading those comments, a possessed cardinal continues flying into the windows of several rooms of our new house. Maybe this will work! lol
To be clear, I didn't discard any of the actual CDs, just the boxes that were not signed. I have a few of the CD holder sleeves that contain all my CDs, DVDs, Xbox games, etc.
But I am not trying to acquire more if I can help it!

Kudos to Dawg on adjusting to the changing marketplace.
