How can I make my boxed set whole again?

How can I replace the music on a missing disc of a boxed set?

My frigging college roommate stole Disc 3 of my boxed set, "The Who: 30 years of maximum R&B." Naturally, that disc has their best songs on it. Any suggestions how I can replace either the disc, or the tracks on it?

iTunes music store, then burn an audio cd of it. Done and done. Or pick an online music source you like better than iTunes.

Response by poster: How embarassing, I should have checked that. I didn't even think iTunes would have boxed sets available. Thanks.

You can also contact the record company and ask if they'll sell you the disc you're missing. I wrote asking if I could buy a disc I was missing from Frank Sinatra's The Columbia Years box set, and Columbia's customer service department just sent me the disc gratis.

Yeah, one time I left a CD in a car during a rain and the booklet got all stuck together, and I sent the booklet back to Arista and they sent me a whole new CD. It's a little known secret but they do do stuff like that.

This looks like a job for Pirate Bay. Seriously. You already bought the damn thing :P.

I've cobbled together a multiple-disk set with separate buys on Half.com - for some reason, incomplete sets are fairly common there.

Go to the library, check out this boxed set, burn yourself a replacement disc 3.
