My music collection

A: listen to Jason talk to his Coworker about music

Circle the correct information.

I buy a lot of CDs. Out of everything that I own, I guess I own more CDs than anything else, yeah.

Now is there any particular type of music that you like? Anything special?

I listen to everything. I’m really big into soundtracks and movies but also heavy rock. And I recently bought a couple of jazz CDs, I have a lot of CDs, I have about 600 of them

But I have a CD player that holds 110 discs that you could just kind of load in…

You have a CD player that holds 110 CDs?

It like a …box. It’s so cool.

Oh, my gush

You can get CD players that hold more, but my parents thought you know. 110?

Yeah that’s enough. Now with 110 CDs in your CD player, how do you know what you gonna hear?

They have this cool little sort of photo album thing that you put the line or notes in, and so it’s like a little catalog. You just flip through, and they’re numbered, so you say oh James Taylor is disc number 66

And then you…

You put in 66 and hit play?

You punch 66 on your player and hit play, and it goes and retrieve 66 and takes it back…

It’s a …box

Yeah, its totally a …box, it’s really cool.

Now if you’re so interested in music, don’t you have like a mp3 player or something?

Actually, I bought ne a few weeks ago, and that’s cool too.

I’ve been copying my CDs onto it. I’ve done like around 300 of them so far.

So, do you think of get rid of your CDs after you’ve loaded them all?

Oh no, I need them for backup, and besides some of them were gifts and some remind me things that happened in my life, I’m kind of attached to them, I guess.

So, you wouldn’t throw them away?

No, they’re my collection. And who knows they might be worth something in the future.
