The Saturn in Köln is great, haven't seen a better one (but it was the first one and is kind of the mothership). In Frankfurt we got 2 Saturns and they're both crap. The big chain stores don't care much about the music anymore, they sell dvd's & computer games instead. A lot of the small stores have gone out of business or only specialise in vinyl. And since the decline of EFA distribution some stuff never reaches Germany. So I do understand your frustration, Mario! BTW, I can't see any adults around here...

fine that at last we make our peace Peace, what peace? I think there's never been a war anyway. In the future I'll trade only in the Internet and only mp3/flac style. I won't put any effort for making fancy cover arts etc anymore because no one else does that either and I'm sick and tired of that burned CD junk that is everywhere in my apartment and I can't manage it anymore. I have your funk CDs piled up somewhere and I haven't gave them a second listen anymore (just because I can't find them) and I have managed to trash those photocopies also so if I'd find them I wouldn't knmow whta they'd contain = useless junk. OTOH, mp3's on Ipod and Creative are neatly in order and can always be found with ease. Tradeoff between usability and the minor loss in sound quality is negligible. That's why I got upset because I just can't manage those CDs anymore and they've become more or less unusable and obsolete because I can't find them when I want to listen to something. I really like that mp3/flac stuff. The latest ipod's support showing the cover art too if you put a jpg in the folder. Neat, nice, handy and no frigging aluminium discs anymore. MP3s on ipod for casual use and vinyl for the ultimate pleasure - no more CDRs or CDs.

I keep all my Jamaican Serenades / Soul Serenades and other stuff etc. in a "body glove" - a wallet holding 128 CD-Rs - 4 per page.
Saves storage space - but I still have a lot to file away (and must buy another CD wallet - about £15 / €21)
I didn't know the Koeln Saturn was the first and "mothership" store, Ekki - thanks for that.
Come to think of it, I never saw George Clinton in there yet - with or without his Mothership!!!

i always make covers for my cdrs so there is no problem finding a cd. i have stored them in racks, not on the floor. that helps, too.
i only have some hundred cds, maybe it's a problem when you got thousands ......
one day there will be a big big database where you only still type in the artist and track name and can listen to every song ever recorded since the days of shellac. end of collectors crazyness (except for cover art).

Quoting Mario: ...one day there will be a big big database where you only still type in the artist and track name and can listen to every song ever recorded since the days of shellac.Great idea, Mario - though it would fall to the ground (or at least to its knees ) with Jamaican music, because of things like the same tune being called something else or being credited to even a different artist...or both. On the Jamaican Serenades is a good example - on volume 26 there is Neville Hinds & Ruple Edwards - MY PIANO AND I, which is repeated on volume 29 as being by Neville Hinds and called CONJUNCTION
