I've recently gotten into LaLa.com, a social networking site where people can trade used CDs.
The premise is pretty simple. You log your CD collection into your personal "Have List"; this adds your CDs to LaLa's database which allows other members to see your music. In turn, you can peruse other members' CDs and request them in your "Want List". When a user request one of your CDs, you just pop the disc and artwork into a Netflix-style envelope and voila, you've rid yourself of one more CD from your collection.
The process isn't as instantaneous as downloading music from Itunes, but I've requested CDs and gotten them in a day or two. Not to mention the fact that the price for a full soundtrack is only a dollar ($0.20 of the purchase price goes back to the artist on every trade).
So go ahead and purge/replenish your music collection. It's addictive!

It's big and bold and obvious, but I don't think "garish" quite captures its presence. Brisbane needs more of these types of things - or it'll just stay as the "gateway to the gold/sunshine coasts" and not have anything to attract people in its own right....
