“Cowboy Bebop:O.S.T. Future Blues/Knonkin’ On Heaven’s Door by Yoko Kano & The Seatbelts” Homeland Security did an illegal, warrantless search on your place and confiscated it. A name like that can’t be real: it has to be a code. The next time you’ll see it will be at the interrogation. You’d best tell people what’s going on so they’ll know what to do when you disappear suddenly. 😃 ---

Update I found it, in the CD player of an old radio I keep at work & hardly ever use. :smack: ---

Dude, I hope you have learned your lesson. Buy a 500 Gbyte drive or two for $100 and rip everything to MP3. Now, what the hell happened to two of my Netflix DVDs? I ALWAYS leave them on top of my DVD after having seen the _Curb Your Enthusiasm_ episode. I think this thread’s suggestions will help me out. ---

Wait, I missed this thread the first time around. Hide the CD again so I can play, too. _:: covers eyes and starts counting to 100 ::_ ---

Problem exists between keyboard and chair. Mmm. Bebop. One of my favorite versions of Ave Maria is from that. ---

I know what **Bosda** is going through. One of my favourite CDs is Karl Zéro’s _Music For Cabriolets And Otros Tipos De Vehiculos_. It’s in my iTunes library and my iPod, so that’s how I listened to it. I was going to loan it to a friend though, and could not find the CD. I went through a couple hundred CDs on my CD shelves, checked my DVD shelves, looked in several boxes, looked _everywhere!_ But it’s still MIA. OK, I’ll just buy another copy from Amazon (where I got the first one). Guess what? It’s OOP. After much searching I found one on the Japanese Amazon site – for $122. No way. I did eventually find one on eBay for a high price, but not so high I could pass on it. Still I won’t be satisfied until I find the one I originally bought. ---

[QUOTE=Yllaria] So, does that mean you have two, now? [/QUOTE] Yes & no. The 1st one, the one I just found, was & is part of a 2 CD deluxe edition. Which is why I couldn’t replace it. I tried to buy another, but it was the 1 CD ed. I will soon sell the 1 CD ed. Thank you all for the kind support. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cd-missing-doing-a-slow-burn/404842.md?page=2)
