YES! I cannot second this loudly enough. I've got far too many
that have fallen into this trap, especially if I go on 2nd hand shop
trawls and pick up a few releases in one day ::: I'll end up listening
to my favourite a few times over and forget I even have the others,
which will then get filed deeper and deeper within boxes of other
stuff. Bad move. I now have a shoebox on my desktop, containing
about 30 "must get around to listen to these" CD's that I try to
rotate to get to know what's on them.
Aaah, the joy of excess!!
