100-200 odd (rough guess), plus loads of mp3s with very rare stuff.

iTunes says I have 279 albums, but that's not entirely accurate because in relatively small classical collection a CD can be catalogued as two albums (i.e. Violin Concerto by Beethoven and Mendelssohn) and multiple CDs can be catalogued as one large album (i.e. Beethoven's Symphonies), and I also still have a couple of single tracks from eMusic free downloads or other single track samples downloaded from somewhere. eMusic has allowed me to get a lot more albums, although I don't even have time to listen to most of them.

496 according to RYM. That should be accurate. 496 +/- 7 to be safe.

I don't know, too many though. Looking at my iTunes I'm somewhere in the mid-600s. I have a few more that I ripped to another folder and then some more that I haven't ripped. So 700 something. I'm trying to get rid of a bunch. My tastes have changed a lot since I really started buying CDs.

I reached a collection of > 400 before the end of 2007, I think it was actually closer to 500, but I sort of hit a slump after that - just didn't know what to buy next. Then, in 2008, I discovered prog. I ended up selling or giving away near 100 of my old collection, but I've probably purchased around 200 prog albums since then. So probably somewhere near five or six hundred by now. (People who come visit me are always asking why I have so many)
And I got about 200 vinyls for Christmas as I inherited my parents collection; not sure how much I am going to keep yet though.

Actually with proper bitrates (>192kbps) which are used by all the major mp3 stores today, you can't really hear a difference. And back in the 80s and 90s listening tests showed that CD sound is superior to vinyl ... it was ruined by bad mixes and re-masters of vinyl releases for a while, but those problems have long been solved. All that's left today is the "loudness war" ... but that is largely a choice of the artists and their record companies ... if they want their music to sound like that, then that's their choice, but please don't blame it on the medium. BTW: Here's my collection distribution: |

Totally in agreement with that. The best thing about vinyls are their album cover art. Plus they look pretty cool under a black light. But yeah, many early CD releases were just copies of the masters used to make the LPs and not specifically mastered for the CD format. |

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

There is absolutely a difference between vinyl, CD and mp3 quality. vinyl is uncompressed sound, CDs are slightly compressed and mp3s are heavily compressed. I can deal with 320 kbps mp3, but 192 is definitely not comparable to CD.

^ Perhaps we should continue this discussion in another thread ... like this one:
http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59259 It's specifically about bitrates. |

I have no idea. My best guess would be between 300 to 350 Cds, around 100 LPs, and throw in a handful of cassettes.

I counted that I had exactly 60 CDs on my shelf, that is in their cases with booklets and everything. I have a couple cases of mix CDs and discs without cases, so I'll guess in totaly I probably have about 90. I used to download a ton off iTunes and I still do when I have a gift certificate, so on my iTunes collection I probably have around 120 whole albums. And then I have some records from my dad's vinyl collection that he doesn't want, so maybe 140 albums total.

Just enough LP's. The LP cabinet holds around 400, and I'm not buying any more. Too many CD's. The cabs hold around 800. They are piling up around the house.
Tell me that you've got everything you want...
