That's the one Aussie.
I've just Googled the lyrics to 'Friggin In The Riggin' and they're far more shocking than I remember. I'd hate to think of my now thirteen year old listening to that.

1st single Cars by Gary Numan
1st Album was a compilation - cannot remember the name. (It's ina s torage unit so do not have easy access only it Pina Colida Song, 17 by the Romantics and other interesting tunes
1st CD album bought was Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits.
I still have my habit now.....continue to buy in all formats...hoping it will be worth something to someone at sometime.

It won't be. Just sold several hundred CDs to make space through a decent on line service, got about £100 for the lot.
Just so sad - I've got about 2000 CDs, probably 500 vinyl, hardly ever listen to them, but wouldn't sell them as each one has a certain memory. Spent so much of my youth in record shops, browsing through all the albums - now the only record shop in town is ****in Tesco, and I couldn't tell you the last time I bought a CD.
I have them all digitally, and I don't have an emotional attachment to the physical versions. Books on the other hand.......
Single - In the City (The Jam)
Album - This is the Modern World (The Jam)
Still love their stuff

Sadly, that's about the going rate using advertised companies such as Music Magpie. Average price is 25-40p per CD. You could get more selling at a car boot sale but it's a hassle you could probably do without.
I've got over 1,000 CDs and I'll be looking to shift all but my 100-odd favourites in the next year, I've been contemplating buying one of these: https://www.brennan.co.uk/ Looks ideal for 'tidying up'...
Record Collector magazine always worth a look if you have some very rare stuff to flogg. An original Sex Pistols God save the Queen (i think on EMI label) can be worth anything from £6k upwards...................however (1) there are a lot of fakes about and 2) I don't have one
First albums I remember buying were boy and October
Got them after being given the red rocks album so guessi g 83
Sold my music collection twice to Notting hill record exchange but still have all my u2

First album was Parallel Lines by Blondie which is on tape & still have lying around in a box somewhere.
Not sure on the first single which is pretty sad in itself - could have been Blondie as well as was pretty fixated on Debbie Harry as young boy.

Sopper - Do you know anything about these machines and if they are any good for storing your CD collection ? I'm a complete Luddite and know f all about what machines are any good and what should be avoided ( Some of the reviews for the machine you link recommend a different, slightly cheaper machine).
Are the compatible with the 'Sonus' system that I could be getting at some time ?
Mrs Staines would love me to dump my 1000+ CD's and create more space for her crap
First single was Hale and Pace - The Stonk either that or Do the Bartman. First album I remember having was Status Quo Rockin' All Over the Years.

The original Brennan, the JB7 was a ground-breaker in storing a massive number of CDs for playback. My son-in-law has one and says it's an excellent buy. I presume that is the cheaper model you are quoting. That model has now been superceded by the B2 model which is in the link. It's only just been released on the market and is in the process of being upgraded by download as new features are introduced. Feedback has been positive and I'd be amazed if it didn't have the capability to link to any form of external speaker system. I'm sure their tech dept would provide any info you require...
I had a quick look and it seems that you can link the B2 to Sonos, but only through a wire, which rather defeats the point of the Sonos. Looks like a neat bit of kit though.
Why don't you just load all your CDs onto a PC Staines? It'll take a bit of time but whatever method you choose this chore will be necessary. Then you can just beam it straight to the Sonos.
