Why don't you say what your favorite types of music is/are and peopel might have extra ones they don't listen to any more. I have a collection of about 5 cds but I can spare you one of them..of course it probably will be scratched etc.

And I just can't believe someone other than Guest would deny you a copied cd in this situation...maybe you can email your favorite musicians and ask what they think and if it is OK.
