I think at last count I had about 150 something CD's plus one vinyl in perfect condition. Approve my goal is to reach the 200 mark by 2008.
My entertainment dollar is burning in my pocket!

I only own about 60 cd's, i am a poor young student, so there isn't much i can do to change it. However i have a good friend with ok music tastes from who i can borrow albums to copy to my computer, mostly non-prog though..But if i were rich,  don't get me starting.. my wishlist is huge, but well, I guess i'll just have to wait..

 have approx 400 vinyl and approx 500 CDs and Cassettes. I did have more CD's and vinyl but they have "disappeared" with moving location over the years, unfortunately. If we also count digital downloads eg: iTunes - I could add another 20 albums to the total.Smile

I only physically own about 111 CDs, but I have 228 Albums on Itunes. (About 10 Gigs). A few are bought from Itunes cuz sometimes I just want a new album and can't wait for stores to open, and sometimes I borrow friends albums. If Ilike them I eventually buy them, but I'm getting way behind lol.

Then you need to get your hands on this album!

3000+.  Mostly CDs.  About 100 LPs and 100 cassettes.  Mostly prog rock, prog metal, and classic rock, but some pop and jazz/jazz fusion have also made it in to the collection.  Unfortunately, 1st CD alphabetically is Abdul, Paula which is about as unprog as it gets but somehow a couple of tunes got into my head and I decided to get it.  I've been collecting for a little over 20 years now.  I have bought many of them at a local second hand store for $4-$8, but also have bought many new or on EBay.  I don't smoke or drink, so buying CDs is my unhealthy addiction.

Almost 300 CDs, around 50-75 vinyls, and a lot more downloaded (mostly rare, OoP stuff).  I'm only 17 and have been seriously buying music for about 1.5-2 years now, thanks to a job (unfortunately, I had to download before this).

I'm with you on that one - far too traumatic an idea. I guess I must have around 100 I could sell but just can't bring myself to do it. I think I have actually sold around the same number od CDs and thery were to a friend.
Of course I have sold and given away a lot of vinyl - but then I have a pathalogical hatred of the stuff. After years of "pop", "crackle", jumps and the like I never want to see it again.

I have about 80-100 vinyls (mostly Prog) and about 80-100 cds (mostly metal).  I only collect Prog on vinyl and on their original pressings only.  I never get re-issues.  I only have like 1 LP I would want to trade in, and that one my friends is 90125 by YesDead.  What the hell is that crap?  WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?  Maybe I should ask that about Drama...

Several issues arise
 
a) storage - I now feel i have too many LPs, cassettes and CDs - so it's become a challenge to store and access them.  
 
b)  resale value - as mentioned above, since the resale value of all second hand (with a few exceptions) are so low, there's less incentive to clear stuff out hence the storage problem.
 
c) I prefer vinyl, regardless of quality (warped or cracked - within reason) but appreciate all three media for different reasons.  I'm sure others face the same problem of not wishing to repurcahse everything they have on the `newest' medium.
 
d) you get attached to your music collection - good and bad - so despite pressures, i find it hard to get rid of stuff even if I hardly ever listen to it

101-150... I'm not sure how many exactly, but I know for sure that I have at least 100 original albums. Mostly studioalbums, some livealbums or dvds, a couple of cassettes and some vinyls. And also "a few" singles. Most of my albums are heavy metal - I'm a new fan of prog so I don't have that many prog albums. I have vinyls of all kinds of music. There are some jazz vinyls, classical music, Jethro Tull, Procol Harum, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden etc.


And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away
in the tidal destruction the moral melee.

But anyways, the local stores are crap. I won't buy mainstream records ( I don't know about you guys). And that's all they got here.
I hear that!  I have to order most of mine online.
