Congratulations to Jimkk, who won last week's giveaway, New Closets from Astech Closet.

Item: Four Bags of CD's - Estimated at Over 400, along with misc. DVD and Video Tapes
Description: Okay, this is a weird one, but we found four HUGE shopping bags of good CD's (and a few DVD's and tapes) in the hallway from the fashion company that moved out and we thought it would be genius to creatively recycle them. We've already gone through and ripped a few to our iPod, and now they need to find a better home...

They all look like hip new bands along with a bunch of biggies like Clay Aiken, Kayne West and Sarah Mclachlan . It's a bit random, but there are a ton, many look like promotional, record label giveaways and they're all in excellent condition.
We tried to take pics that showed what they looked like. We'd like to find a good home, someone who will put them to good use and REQUIRE that you come to our office and pick them up yourself.

I'm game.
Me too.
ohhh hoobstank and clay aiken- yeah!
Yes!
I would love to win seeing as I'm probably the only 23 year old in the world without an ipod...so I'm still needing CD's. Pick me yay!
Why not? Whatever I don't need will get passed on. Or converted into someone senior year art project.
Please pick me!!! Believe it or not, I still have a portable CD player (and use it!). I'd love to contribute to the CD-sharing club here in my office also (cure to the ban of internet radio). Thank you!
consider this an entry on behalf of your local library. for others who are ripping their collections- please consider donating your old movies and CDs. You get a tax deduction, and tons of people get to enjoy your donation! Using the library is a great way to reduce unnecessary consumption.
i think this giveaway should include some mod CD storage piece as well...
Hey this is great- someone broke into my apt and stole all my ipods on Saturday night so this would be a great reason to buy myself a new one!
These would be great to pass around the office and share with my co-workers.
Any classic rock in there? I'm in the middle of a Clapton obsession.
mmmkay
um, hi? cd's? yes. yes, i still love 'em.
(although erica up there is right: the library might need them more than me.)
Yes! I keep losing CDs and their conversions through my own and various electronic malfunctions. It would be nice to get some more music in my life.
I'm with erica on this one, but consider this an entry from your favorite college library in the NYC area. (If you would take entries from all areas, I'd have entered for my own college library, where i happen to be employed) Often college libraries and media centers get neglected.
I love free stuff. If you got free CDs send them my way please.
Cds? How retro!(kidding). I also like the rip and donate idea.
Yes please.
me and my ipod would be very happy
i'd like to rip a few and then donate to the library
if by "creatively recycle" you mean a robin-hood style steal-and-give, i'm down.
i've already thought of 7 different ways to destroy the clay aiken cd.
I'm in!
sign me up.
Me, me, me!
I think it would be nice to have a collective win on this one - have the collection of CDs rotate through a few people.
I admit it. I still use cds.
I'm a metalhead, but even I know I'd find some "guilty pleasure" CD's in that collection... just don't tell my friends.
I still use CD's, LP's, Cassettes and even 8-tracks. I would love this collection.
Cd's have better sound quality on an Ipod then the songs from iTunes...heck yeah I'm in!
Um YES!
AWESOME!
More music?! Yes please. I also like the idea of donating to a library.
i LIVE for finding cheap cd's in the east village. this would be an early christmas present for me. please!
i guess im in !
oh crap! I didn't realize that you had to be a New York city resident...boo hoo!
yes please!
okie dokie, I'm in.
I want these! I'll donate what I don't want.
I would donate after ripping of course.
wow, after losing a ton of music when our harddrive crapped out on us a few weeks ago, this would be an awesome way to restock our itunes! and then donate to a good cause of course :-)
Me...because I just moved to New York and still have all my stuff in Los Angeles in storage. I'm going to need the CDs to play in the stereo as I decorate my new 1 bedroom apt.
Oh sure... There is sure to be lots of stuff I don't have...
I'll have a go at those CDs!
I'm game. And then we can work on a remodel, because 400 CDs probably take up the remaining living space I have. :P
yay cds..
oh how great..as I've had my entire music collection stolen twice within the past few years. Very sweet offer.
Ohh, fabulousssss.
Sounds pretty awesome
do want
Speaking of cds, what can you do with the jewel cases, if you just want to keep the cds (in cd albums)? I hate just throwing all that plastic away. And they're not recyclable, even in SF.
Count me in! I'll keep some and donate some.
I'm in!
I'm your huckleberry.
I love more tunes anytime.
Hooray!!!
Omigod! I won the new closet makeover! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm anxiously awaiting my official notification!
I'm in!
I'm in too!
Sure, why not.
congrats on the closet makeover jimkk
I'm game. Whatever I don't want I'll put in prop storage at work, I always need more set dressing.
Woo, Franz Ferdinand!
I'm in too. I like creative recycling!
i'm in! reuse recycle baby!
I'm in... fingers crossed.
Can I share them with Erica? We could have a laptop ripping party for AT! I think she deserves to win for her great idea....
Even if a lot of the discs are duds, I've been itching to made a cd side table like the one that was on AT recently (smallest coolest? house tour?). And I promise to share the audio wealth!
Me, please.
sounds exciting!
pick me. please.
:)
I hope that I am the fortunate one.
ah would be perfect for my muji cd player!
My boombox says please feed me
winning this would be great!!
I guess these were too heavy for the fashion company to bother with hahaha...
Oh well our gain-GLAD you guys ripped a few choice discs first.
Whitestarr? I'm so there.
