Not off-topic; this is a real issue with a music collection that keeps getting bigger and bigger.

So I use a "New" smart playlist in iTunes that moves low playcount titles up to be played and also includes new CD rips. I try to stay in touch with my entire collection by ripping an "old" CD into it, as well as a new CD.

I listen to music roughly 5-6 hours a day, so yea i go listen to everything i have at least once a month.

I am curious because right now I have a very small music collection that I know very well, and am curious if as people get more music do they stay familiar with it, or only stay familiar with a (relatively) small portion of it?

You can see the stats of my collection on the first page. It adds up to 36.6 Days of audio. I am familiar with about 1/2 of the tracks. It erks me that I can't listen to all this stuff, and It has become a chore to listen to it!

Couldnt say... most of it (~200GB) is metal burnt off on DVDs I listened to when I was younger. The rest on my hard drive is about 750 albums or so.

 

[Welly Wu]

I have a total of 495 discs:

13 DVD-Audio discs
16 SA-CD discs
~ 12 DVD-Video music concerts
~ 450 - 455 Red Book CDs, JVC XRCDs, HDCDs
0 analogue casette tapes
0 vinyl records

I'm still collecting more albums. For the past several months, I've been collecting high resolution discs exclusively. I plan to collect another three AIX Records DVD-Audio titles to achieve equal parity soon.

 

[Aman]

I have about 400 really high quality, recently-bought vinyl
I have about 1000 average-to-poor vinyl

Adds up to 4044.5 albums

Before getting the iPod, I probably listened to less than 25% of my collection. However, I am now making an effort to listen to as much of it as possible.

About 200 CDs. Doesn't seem like much to me, but looked impressive to my brother-in-law as he scrolled down my master playlist in Foobar the other day. I could easily quadruple it and still want more.
