Topic: New administrator of Top 40 Music On CDPosted: 01 May 2024 at 10:03am |

Hi there members of the Top 40 Music On CD domain this
post is announcing my retirement from hosting the Top 40 Music On CD publication after 40 years of service. Never fear the domain will continue on under administration by Aaron Kannowski and this will occur no later than the end of this calendar year. I have full confidence that Aaron will be capable on continuing this valuable service. Since I will no longer need to keep the physical compact discs of which there are roughly 30,000 I would like to accept offers to purchase the entire library of not only the compact discs but also the 45 rpm singles referenced in my publication and I can forward you my digital inventory upon request of these items if you are interested. |

As someone who joined your forum in 2007, I can't thank you
enough, Pat, for all of the tireless work you've done not only with the online forum but your many publications as well. Enjoy your retirement, you certainly deserve it! |

Congrats Pat, enjoy retirement but a few questions
1) Will the paid search feature/yearly membership for your top 40 discontinue or is Aaron taking that over too? 2) If Aaron is taking over I would love to be a moderator though not much happens on this board that needs moderation but either way... 3) If you are discontinuing the paid service might you consider publishing a book, the information is very valuable to many including myself. I wish you luck with selling your collection. Sadly as most recently as the 2020's almost everything released is pretty much digital now, unless your name is Taylor Swift, Adele or Drake. Thanks again for making this forum accessible. We all owe you a debt of gratitude for keeping it up all these years. |

Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

Yes the paid database service will continue on with Aaron
in control. This database service was initial in a book format but would now run about 1,000 pages which would make it priced out of everyones financial means and would require Part 1 and Part 2 due to binding considerations. |

Pat, this database and community has been so wonderful! I
have learned so much from everyone who posts. And being able to look up single versions has been invaluable. I can't thank you enough for maintaining this space! |
