How many albums do you buy each month? Calculate it using this formula:

N / ( (A - X) * 12)

N = Number of albums in your collection.
A = Your age.
X = The age up to which you didn't buy albums.

Example for me:

550 / ( (30 - 10) * 12) = 2.3

Lets see... I'm only 18 and I started buying music about 7 years
ago but only fairly consistently about 5 years ago.

during that time (last 5 years): 350/(5 * 12)=6 per month.

Over the last year: 100/12=8 per month.

Over the past two months: 34/2=17 per month!

That's because of prog.
Now, if I were to average the total # of cds in my collection (not
just ones I bought) the numbers would be higher, but almost all
those albums are not prog.

Probably because you can't afford to pay the bill.

I cannot count my albums. I keep running to my cd player because I found an old album which I must hear again and then forget how many I already had counted.

Must be around 2 a month. At the first years of college it was higher, but at the last year I was mostly brook and was happy to be able to buy some food.
