Seriously, have you had to replace an item in your library due to constant and/or obsessive listening? I'm not talking about "oh I dropped my album, so it's ruined", unless of course, it was in an obsessive listening binge. I'm curious what other really really love to jam to.

Me:

The Arcade Fire - Funeral
The Clash - Combat Rock
Marilyn Manson - Antichrist Superstar (don't laugh [this was by far the most beat up one])
Tool - Undertow
Nirvana - Incesticide
Jimi Hendrix - Band Of Gypsys
Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole
Led Zeppelin II
Portishead - Dummy

I can honestly say I've never had the laser wear a hole in a CD from playing it too much.

Ezekiel 25:17

There was a time when I was listening to "This Time" by Dwight Yoakam quite a bit, and I set the cd down and ending up sitting on it and breaking it.

I never wore out a cd, but these would probably have the best chance to wear out.

Led Zeppelin - II, IV, Houses of the Holy, and Physical Graffiti
Black Sabbath - We Sold Our Soul For Rock 'N' Roll
Ozzy - Blizzard of Ozz
Dio - Holy Diver
The Black Crowes - Shake Your Money Maker
Mad Season - Above
Temple of the Dog- Temple of the Dog
Most of Evis & The Beatles

Wow, Hallowgen... Arcade Fire already? (that's a good one to wear out!).

I can't think of anything I've had to replace from overuse. All of my vinyl that got worn out (Violent Femmes debut, New Order "Low-Life", Ramones "Rocket to Russia") were all replaced by CD and none of my CDs sound any worse today after use.

Wore out my cassette copy of Counting Crows - August And Everything After. It was replaced with a cd copy that has been fine ever since.

I work for a retailer and have to laugh at people who say they're buying a second copy of a CD- the only way to render a CD unplayable is to not take care of it- my oldest CDs are 20 years old and still play good as new; that was hyped as one of the advantages of the format when it came out, that it would never wear out! Even if you put a scratch on a CD that causes a skip, there's ways of getting rid of it.

Heat

I've worn out copies of some of my 8 tracks in the early to mid 80s, but that was it.

The only recordings I've had on 8-track, cassette, LP, and CD are Meatloaf's "Bat Out of Hell" and Bob Segar's "Live Bullet".

Dubya

I got my first cd's in 85 and they play just as well today as they did then.

Hollowgen

yeah, well, that's kind of the whole point. the more you use something, the more likely you are to have an "accident" or the like. but thanks for laughing
