    Today's First World Problem

    I wanted to listen to a cd and to transfer the music to a new phone.
    The cd is not new, had it a couple of years. It comes up in my random mix at work enough to remind me.
    Started looking around on my NAS for the files. Not there.
    (*^*&%, back in August while prepping for a kitchen renovation I relocated about 1500 cd's in cases, to the garage.
    Piled in stacks of 60, unsorted.
    I suppose it would be a coin toss. Dig for the disc, or order a new one ( just kidding ).
    So after the kitchen is done, I have to do some serious sorting.
    Now if I can just get the workers to show up............

    I keep putting it off ( for 15 years or so ).
    A good retirement project, in another 5 years or so. If I am lucky.
    Maybe sooner.
    Like I said in the title. First world problem.

    Dude. 1500 CDs over 15 years? That's only 1 every three days

    Heh heh. It's funny 'cause it's true.

    You could be like me and order brand new vinyl to replace CDs I know I have but can't find.

    I think it will be harder for me to lose records.

    My vinyl has been in boxes ( actual vinyl record boxes ) since the 80's, all alphabetized, about 400 in all.
    I have purchased exactly 1 vinyl recording in the last 30 years.
    That was so I could get the accompanying downloads.
    In addition to the 1500 in the garage I have another 600 or so in the family room and a few hundred in the guest room in various states of organization.
    More discs on order, chaos is expanding.
    There are several ways to organize them.
    I just have to commit to one and execute the plan.
