What do you consider "old"?
When does a certain track or album become "old" for you? Is it 6 months? years? would something from 2002 be considered old or outdated for anyone? perhaps 2000 or earlier? just curious.
I always seem to feel like i'm one of the last people on Earth to discover some tracks - and much to my amazement, by the time i start to get into it, everyone isn't anymore.
over a year after being released
a newer production released
Naught.
They're old once you can remember 5 other places you've heard it, no less. If it was in a set, bonus points if know exactly what time it was, what it was mixed into, and what was mixed into it. 
Dunno, I think this is just one of those things you can't define.
Good tracks never get 'old'.
I call everything from pre-99 old. And all that's less than a year old for "new".
Sounds cliche'd but Good/Great music never gets old.
Yes for sure - older tracks are older tracks!
I hate it when people say this:
"Oh man,
And thats only in the first batch of promo dispatchment!

It's already old when MTV doesn't or seldom play it....
when i'm sick of hearing something.
Some of the freshest sounding stuff I love happens to be some of the oldest I own 
Like it was said before, the good stuff never gets old. If I hear Stella, its just as fresh today as it was years ago when I first heard it.

Rotten food, The Pope = definitely old in my book.
when it comes to music its a very sujective matter, whats old to some arent to others. To me i guess old would mean something i havent heard in a while or something from the pre 1960-era.. it all depends really.
Too old to spin? Well I wouldnt put a track before 2003 in any of my present mixes (with a few exceptions i.e throwing in a classic or two) but to listen to, as long as its good, its not old in my book

Anything more than ten years old I'd class as old. Anything over fifteen years old is "ancient".

Something is old after a year if I've listened to it a number of times but to me anything is new to you at a time so I could find something from 4 years ago and start to hammer it out and it wouldn't be old to me for about a year.
It's how long you've listened to it, not when it was released.
like most others are saying, good stuff never gets old.
Anything between a year & 5 years old is old & shouldn't be played in a set for fear of getting stoned to death by the crowd! However, anything GOOD more than 5 years old is a classic & is completely legal to drop in a mix! imo, of course!
interesting feedback by all. i do agree that if its been over a few years, then you probably shouldn't be hearing it in the clubs or on a radio set or something.
but then again, there are a few that i was extatic to hear, including Armin's "Communication" and Paul Van Dyk's "Crush". since i was not 21 when either of those tracks came out for the first time, i never heard them live - so it was really cool to hear them being dropped [both of which were spun by Armin when I saw him in Chicago the past two years].
good tracks never gets old..
but when im bored of a track, i consider it old..
or if the artist mentioned, have made a track later, thats much better,
