I have over 1,500 CDs... I haven't bought more than 10 since my iPod purchase. I dl the albums/songs from iTunes and don't by media unless it is a limited edition or import. I have my CD changer in the X and it has the same 6 cds in it I used to test the system upon purchase. I takes a while to convert your library to MP3 but once done, why the hell would you ever cart arount cds anymore??? You gave me a good idea... YANK IT... and you can join mine on eBay this weekend.
