When I was preparing to evacuate for Hurricane Irma a little over a year ago, one of the things I did was rip the CDs for which I had no digital download to my computer, cause I couldn't evacuate with all those CDs. In any case, I prefer to rip any CDs I own, including music CDs and listen to them on my iPod or phone.

No method is indestructible I lost everything in a house fire hard drives etc. You just start again but it did teach me that a £1500 sofa burns just as much as a £200 sofa .another lesson learned was photograph everything you own every year so if you ever need proof for insurance companies and your own memory

That sucks, @audity. Definitely can't save all your belongings in that type of catastrophic event. Though in my case I worry more about hurricanes. We've been lucky so far, but we live in a hurricane prone area (and in a high priority evacuation zone when a storm is predicted to hit us).
Stuff like that is why I'm also going for cloud backups these days. And prioritizing what physical stuff I need to take with me on the rare occasions I need to evacuate.

As would anyone I am very grateful that we do not have to experience them.We may have the folks who complain about the rain and lack of summer but am not one of them. Scotland had a long hot summer this year never seen it looked so parched,rivers dried up.Give me rain any day.off to mass in a bit so will light a candle that you stay hurricane free.

I really want the download rights to get cleared up. I just finished ripping all of S1-11 today, so expect downloads to be announced sometime this week. (That's my luck in general, and also what happened with Gallifrey.) Based on a email exchange I had with Ian last week, sadly I don’t think downloads are imminent

And it is only going to get worse as the planet gets hotter and hotter. The only advantage with having to deal with hurricanes as opposed to tornadoes or earthquakes, is we get a warning that they are coming and time to prepare. And that is the only advantage.

The first items from my order have just been sent: The Inside StoryThe Worlds of Big FinishTreasuryUm... where's the rest of it? I know it was a huge order, but for nearly three weeks since placing it I would have hoped to have had a little more sent than this, even if only in drips and drabs (is that greedy of me? It's just strange/slightly annoying that it's taking so long for things to be shipped). Even if they were just shipping the CDs individually I'd be happy at this point.

Did you order through PAYPAL on the 1st day?
Some of those got backlogged because PAYPAL was taking longer to process than usual that's why BF extended the Sale by a day.
Either way you could try e-mailing Sales for an Update.

Really? Huh, didn't know Paypal could do that. No though, I didn't use Paypal so it won't have been that. And I'm not so desperate that I think I need to contact sales just yet, but this is quite a long time for order processing (in my experience). Give it another week or two and I will probably e-mail though, as I would rather like to have the stack of CDs that I've paid for and can't download and listen to now

None of my order has been sent yet, so you're doing well! But it was a big sale (in terms of number of titles on sale) and no doubt popular; I'm waiting patiently.
EDIT: Which reminds me, I'm also waiting for part of my order from the Fourth Doctor sale. Another popular one with a lot of orders to fulfill.
