How many albums do you have in your collection?

[Braver]

I just cut it down from about 100 to 80, some stuff just had to go. 20 years old, collecting for about 3 years now.

I have no idea how many exactly. But I'll put it this way: if I spend 3 hours a night listening to my collection, one CD after another, without repeat, 365 nights a year, then it'll take at least 18 months to go though my collection once...Ah the evil of cheap used CDs.

I purchased most of this music but I almost always buy vinyl used as part of a complete collection. Recently people have been just giving my records and frankly I have been turning most of these gifts away as I have no room to store them. I'm 36 and I purchased my very first record(a 45rpm) at 11,I think. I bought my first LP at 13 and worked at two record stores by the time I was 15. I raided Tower Records and Rose Records when they both dumped all their vinyl about 13 years ago and purchased thousands of records,most of which are still sealed,for as little as 25 cents each. I dread all the others I left behind to be thrown away. I usually buy new vinyl when Musicdirect has one of their sales,though I am really starting to dislike that place and the snobs that work and hang out there.

A bit less than I thought: about 325 CDs and 24 SACDs, at 38 y.o. But I'm working on it!

Hi Guys,

Long time no see eh?

My collection is coming along very nicely. I've curtailed my buying a bit in recent months due to financial restrictions but at the moment my collections stands as follows.


8-Track 56
CD's 1656
DVDs 362
Laserdisc 36
Reel-Reel 1
LPs 786
Singles 200 approx
Minidiscs 1 Commercial and around 250 home recorded
Tapes 100 approx


I just recently cataloged my collection so I know that the figures are accurate. I'm still working on it hence why the approximation on the Singles / MD / Tapes


Sound As Ever

Not enough. My "Buy" list is several times longer than the list of albums I own. Right now I have about 140 CD's, 17 records, and roughly 20 cassette tapes. I'm 24.
