I just dump the sample content in my "to be sorted" folder which is in my sample folder. I occasionally spend a few hours listening to the samples and sorting them out...
I read the magazine, and then throw it away.

I'm a hoarder myself. I bought nearly every copy of CM since about issue 12, and i kept every one including the CD's. Howevever, i do intend one day to shove all the samples onto a massive hard disk and then chuck out the CD's, or at least put them in the loft or something! I want to keep all the samples for when i buy Ableton Live, and thus need the huge hard disk anyway!
I certainly don't chuck the magazines, i always dip back into them for tutorials and interesting bits and bobs.

yup - spare jewel cases is all they're good for.
you may be able to make simple but tasteful xmas decorations with them. the underside of a CD reflects light in a lovely polarised fashion

Hi
I tend to spring clean the f...... out of my cd rack every so often.
There are very few Magazine CD's that I keep - they generally come across as half-baked, I suppose this is understandable, since each issue of a mag - like say Computer Music is attempting to attract NEW impulse purchase customers - they probably would be less successful if they offered the definitive Halion format Multi-string ensemble Sample library or a new 400mb sample bank for EVE.
Sure this would perhaps make 2,000 people HERE quite happy but it would not attract a 'NEWBIE' - would it?
Flipper.

I've always thought that cd's look sort of arty and shiny. Recently I saw that someone here in Texas was making sort of a windmill with them, to sell at crafts shows. And you could always make mobiles out of cd's, string and stiff wire (coathangers.)
I actually save all of mine, as they may come in handy someday for some little tidbit or something. And you can stack them up real neat instead of spreading them all over your studio. (And the skeet shooting with an airgun sounds like my kind of fun, too!!)

They make great bird scarers!!
Hang them up on little bits of string and suspend them over your brassica's. They will scare all the birds away and stop 'em from eating your cabbages.

Rifle through your collection, copy anything of mild interest to the hard drive, and burn the results to a few DVD-Rs. Takes 1/5th the space

Ok. Good. So I'm not the only one that finds the samples on these things relatively lacking and dry.
I seriously thought it was just me.
