It's not the size that matters, it's what you listen to...

43, I believe. I don't have a real job yet, and most of my money goes to car insurance  I have a list of Cd's I want that's larger than the amount I own. With time, I shall own them all. Wasn't there a thread like this not too long ago?

Just under 3800 CDs. Of those, around 1800 are prog, 1200 are rock, folk and singer/songwriter and the rest are classical and opera. I still have around 100 vinyl but, as I have no deck, it can hardly be counted. I also have some 50 or so cassettes but would never include them - being such a crappy medium. No 8-tracks or reel-to-reel and no mp3 etc.
Oh, and I have around 150 music DVDs as well.

Mostly LPS.

Haven't done an exact count in a while, but I would say I have about 380-390 CD's (and about 40 DVD's). I bought my first CD 10 years ago when I was 11 (it was Soundgarden's "Down On The Upside") and my last one was "Face The Music" by ELO. I buy about 40 CD's a year (and my "Must Buy" list grows by about that amount every year!)

About 3,000 cds and 1,000 vinyl
Genre-wise it's across the whole spectrum.
Out of the whole collection I'd say that I have approx' 500-800 Prog (and it's sub-genres) albums

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.

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...

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.

Allow me to take a guess then. Let's say you ripped them all at 128kb/s. Then you've got around 30,000 minutes of music. For the average record with 45-60 minutes, that amounts to 666-500 CDs. (note the Beast's number :D) Those only count for the CDs you actually ripped, so if you've got another 1000 stashed somewhere else.. that's a different story. |
not a bad guestimate  - 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  .
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

I believe your ex upon dumping you said:

Jesss Kidddiiiiiiiinnnn..... 
I'd say I'm around 1000, although I keep buying and selling to keep only the good stuff.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Quick straw poll (I was going to post this as a seperate Poll, but you can only have 25 choices  ): anyone have a missing letter from their collection?
I went for years without a band beginning with "i" and only have 1 "z"
I also appear to have more bands beginning with "s" than any other letter.
