What I did was back mine up on my computer - just the songs on each CD that I really enjoy listening to - and trashed the actual CD's. Easier storage, less freight, and I can play everything via my iPod and a little Bose player that has terrific sound.Marianne Kehoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07139617429892488858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-84824043858689124202009-04-04T10:29:00.000-06:002009-04-04T10:29:00.000-06:00Zannie -- "Used" products are subject to Mexican d...Zannie -- "Used" products are subject to Mexican duty based on their dxepreciated value -- just as every other natiuon does.Steve Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468378507171761868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-29358471522307584722009-04-04T00:20:00.000-06:002009-04-04T00:20:00.000-06:00Horst -- Thanks.

We even brought a 6 shelf CD/DVD cabinet to store them. Of course, as I have mentioned we came in on FMT's when we did this - NOT an FM3<BR/><BR/>I am suspecting the CD's won't be an issue anyway - of course it is the fear of the unknown that always makes it interesting and something 'they' count on.Calypsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705486544074674388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-79029522973265245892009-04-03T10:49:00.000-06:002009-04-03T10:49:00.000-06:00Hope you feel better.
