Hmm, just a guesstimate...

prolly about 150 vinyl records, 100 casettes, 800 CDs, and I have about 250G of music on my hard drive (a mix of stuff downloaded, copied from friends, and ripped from my own collection).

...oh, and 1 8-track tape (no, I'm not kidding. It got stuck in a junk drawer years ago and my perverse sense of humor restrained me from doing the humane thing and chucking it). It's a K-Tel compilation from the late 70's and has stuff like BOC, Robin Trower, and Boston on it...wonder if it still works...

Duuuude, I could even begin to think of that. This kind of stuff doesn't even cross my mind, really!!

I've never counted (too busy listening) but I would estimate my LP collection at 2000+ and my CD collection at 1300 or so. There's not a great deal of duplication between the two. My problem is that I am an out of control consumer rather than a collector. There is way too much good music out there that I haven't heard and I have too broad of tastes in music. There aren't too many genres that I don't like. Not that I like all the artists in any genre. I do have some refinement.

not a bad guestimate Clap - my iPlod tells me I have bothered to transfer 435 CD's to its whirry little disc.
 
Now I've had time to look at them in daylight - I would say there is in excess of 2000 CD's littered around my house Embarrassed.
 
My sister catalogued my vinyl onto a spreedsheet while I was at Uni. when I got home I discovered that I didn't own a single Moody Blues album anymore, which she claimed was fair payment Confused

about 200+ cds and 85 vinyls. And I envy all of you who have more. And my excuse is that I'm a poor student.

I might also add that I have all my titles cataloged in an Excel spreadsheet.  I've even been tracking the purchase date since '99.  I think even more importantly I use a randomizer I've set up in Excel to insure every thing stays in circulation and gets listened to sooner or later.  I'd highly recommend getting a log started when you're collection is relatively small, because as you can see from some the posts, when your collection gets large it will become an impossible task.  If anyone is interested in getting a copy of my spreadsheet, either the log and/or the randomizer, drop me message with your e-mail and I'll be happy to share.  Music file sharing isn't allowed here but I don't think there's any restrictions on sharing a spreadsheet form of my own creation.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I'd say I've got approximatly 65 vinyl LPs and about 200 CDs. Mostly prog but with a good mix of rock, metal, blues and 'classical' music as well.
