OK as brilliant as this new set of sites is, there's one thing really worrying me...
...and that one thing is the fact that my local charity shop has a huge box of CD singles that I have hitherto avoided dipping into... and you know I'm not going to be able to resist now!

Likewise nboldock One of the charity shops that I got to regularly has loads of CD singles and a pile of 78s. I often have a dig through them to see what's there but most of the time I don't find anything remotely interesting to me. I suppose they would be good for uploading onto these sites - but as you say, there's the cost........

My nearest shop (the one I refer to on here as my "local" charity shop) is fortunately really cheap as it's a proper old school chazza untouched by the hand of Mary Portas and her cronies. CDs are 25p so I don't mind picking them up at that price to scan in. And the cassette single I bought yesterday they charged me 5p for!
Because of where it is it does sometimes get some interesting stuff in too and I'm in there at least once a week on my lunch break.

Meant to add, I have done the same with singles from there before (20p no matter what they are) and then returned them once I've added them onto 45cat.
I also gave them a box full of LPs last month (clearing out the rubbish) and they're about to get another bnox off me so they're going to be well stocked for the time being!
