How many albums do you have in your collection?

[Mr.PD]

At last count I have 333 factory made CD's.
I don't count my cassettes but I have around a hundred or so.
I have a box of vinyl in the garage less than 40 LPs.
I am 45 years of age.

nobody answered my question yet
if anybody knows?

Are classical music recordings called albums too?

 

[OneMalt]

I'm 47. I have 425 CDs, 343 LPs, 38 MDs and 14 SACDs. All originals, all collected.

My wife says I have to damn many.

Age 47 - 1500 cds, 700 albums

 

[stereth]

I'm 19 and I have right around 100 CDs. About half metal, the rest a mix of rock, punk, and some other stuff.

 

[mickelae]

i have at least 1200 cds...probably 70% classical and 30% others (from a variety of genre sans rap, country, r&b, gospel, bluegrass, latino, pop, etc. etc...)...24 years old.

 

[Lindy]

Here are the current numbers as of 9/9/03 (a little higher I think than the last time we did this on Head-fi):

CD's: 2341
DVD's: 548
CDR's: 253 (count included for completeness, these are not "originals" per your rules)
LP's: ~300
--------------
Total Pieces = 3442
Total Age = 38

The more interesting thing, though, as some others have been including, is what are the genre ratios in your CD collection? Among my 2341 CD's, there is a lot of Pop/Rock/Alternative/Jazz, a medium amount of Classical/Country, and smaller amounts of Blues/Soundtracks/Hip-Hop/Gospel/Opera.

Well, I've only been heavily buying CDs and LPs for about 2 years (before then, it was DVDs, and before then, I had no money of my own

) - I'm 19 years old. Yikes, I feel so old now. 19! Noo! I've wasted my youth!

Enough of that. I have, at the moment, a grand total of 204 CDs. I'm not quite sure how many LPs I have, but it's definitely under 50. Pretty modest collection at the moment, but I'm constantly picking up more stuff

[OriginalReaper]

I only have 80.

I have a loooooooooooooong way to go.

 

[Tuberoller]

I have spent the past few months reducing my music collection but I have also been buying a bunch of new music since I got XM radio. I don't think I'll ever get my music collection any smaller.

I have about 22,000 LPs,7200 CDs,650 Reel to reel tapes(prerecorded) and another 1,000 or so prerecorded cassettes and 8-tracks.

I actually have closer to 40,000 lps but most are in storage or slated to be given away or donated.

......and with Tuberoller's post, the massess come to the realization that we are, indeed, not worthy.

 

[marios_mar]

hey tuberoler. Did you buy all those records yourself?Did you have a record store? How old are you?

 

[fractus2]

193 CDs, 44.

Quote:

marios_mar, I would definitely count them.

 

[Kali]

Just over the 350 CDs mark (all albums).. only about 30 or 40 singles, box-sets, best-ofs and the like, also about an extra 150 in CD-Rs... and the last time I checked I was 23..

fractus i think he meant are classical releases _called_ albums? as opposed to recitals/renditions/recordings etc.

 

[JMedeiros]

About 200 CDs and 200 LPs. Also about 10 Music DVDs and DVD-As. The MP3s I have on my Archos and laptop were all made from my collection except for the one free Clint Black song I downloaded from his website.
