I've got about 230/240 at the moment...though in my lifetime....  My problem is that in the past, I have moved with my job a lot, and the transient lifestyle with no fixed abode doesn't encourage the collection of too many CDs...

I am currently having storeage probs, tho...

I belive i have somewhere around 200ish. These vary into pretty much all genres of music (minus rap, pop, and emo).

My first association of the thread title also proved Freud wasn't wrong after all! The collection I keep in my bookshelf contains about two meters of vinyls. Some CD's appear to be there too. I should get the creature from the Iain M. Bank's book that counts things, to get the exact number of them, as I'm not so interested to spend my time on that.

Perfectly rational behaviour, Sean!

We've around 750/800 CD's & about 350 vinyl albums (King Oliver to King Crimson, Purcell to Punk...you get the idea).

So why is it that every time I try to find something to play, I hate every one of them...?

Actually I do get rid of a lot of stuff as I only have time for the better stuff past the discovery stage, but also because storage and space quicly became a problem. I am looking for something bigger as far as storage , but not too big , because this will be perfect excuse to fill it up.

Lately DVDs are starting to be a concern as well as prog-related books!

Prisoner of our passions , are we not????

 

 

I think I did some permanent damage to house structures I lived in because of the sheer weight of my bundles of records , the weight of my stereo speakers and me jumping up and down while playing my Donnay air-guitar accompanying Robin Trower in his solos.

somewhere between 200 and 300. They stretch along a bookcase style unit, but I managed to collect enough empty jewel cases to make two rows (difficult to explain but basically it uses half as many jewel cases as there are CDs )

Coming back on the storage question: I had a CD case built for me tha can hold about 1600 CDs. That was way back when I owned about 1100 and thought that would be enough extra space....

In addition to that, we have six off-the-shelf CD cases that fit nicely together and hold in total about 1000 CDs. The rest is spread throughout the house in single off-the-shelf units of about 100 each.

Uuuhmmmm!! My girfiend once told me it was a very normal size and that it was not the size but how you used it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh! you meant record collection........

 

 

 

 

 

Just Cds and vinyls not including cassettes and CDR , around 1000 but at one time in my life , I had around 2000 vinyls (and bought around 5000 - mostly second hand - but sold back a lot of them to finance new acquisitions).

I have made a lot of compilations of artist whose records had only one or two good tracks! Ex: Santana's late 70's albums. Got a CDr with my best of six albums of his.

I think I have about 490-500 cd's mostly prog, metal and classic rock. In adition to that I have about 300 Lp's, mostly prog. That does not mean I have 800 titles, as I have many of the records I have on LP also on cd.
It is said to be the first Test-pressing of the corean release??

Geez, after reading posts of some people's collections exceeding 1,000, my (puny) collection of 242 doesn't look so hot...

I do use a Nomad Jukebox to keep all my music with me when I'm out and aboot, because it's a lovely little music storage device. But I do enjoy leafing through my album collection.....

And IKEA does have the best storage, especially if you've got the ca$h.
