How large are our record collections?

Post by **BlueChair** » Fri Apr 09, 2004 12:48 pm

I know not everyone counts this sort of thing, but approximately how many CD's (and LP's, for those of us who still keep them) do we have?

I have just under 500 CD's (not including burned CD-R's, which would put me well over 500), and I probably have about 400 LP's.

Do I listen to them all? Gosh, no, but I do listen to a surprisingly large amount of them.

bc and i were chatting, and i answered him, so i'm gonna write it here too.

around 150, i'd guess. given how many things from pier one i had to buy to store them in.

600 CDs (none burned from other sources except a dozen or so boots). I'm about to move in with my girlfriend who has 400 or so that aren't repeats of mine! Yikes!

I have around 700 CDs, 100 cassette tapes and about 60 or 70 vinyl albums.

I would guestimate that I have between 300-350 CDs, but I havent counted properly in quite a while. Id say I have about the same number of LPs, maybe closer to the 300 end . . .

guestimate of 450 cds. I still have a load of vinyl stashed but don't have a record deck anymore so I won't count them.

600? 700? Been a while since I counted. They're a huge disorganized mess which I *hate*. But that will be remedied when I move!!

About 350 CDs, and about 400 LPs.

2000+ CDs, I guess. Since I got Broadband I'm "trying out" 2 to 3 albums per day. I also plan on buying a huge extenal hard drive and swapping MP3/AAC libraries with some pals. Gotta love music.

On a not wholly unrelated note, I seem to have bought more DVDs than CDs so far this year.

1,405 cd titles - many of which are boxed sets.

10 inches.

PS Dr J, are the Irish authorities too busy putting out fags to worry about large-scale file-sharing? I hope so!

You funny.

It is sad that these days my listening is limited MUCH more by time and circumstance than by availability of good music. Though I suppose the reverse would be even sadder....

more or less 2500 CDs.

All LPs now gone...many tapes also gone their way.

I hope so too. I spend so much money in record stores and on concert tickets that I really don't feel that guilty about it.

Plus I think the smoking ban is kickass. It's so odd to see people nipping out for a fag.

Back to the question....

Not nearly enough. Hopefully I'll be inheriting somewhere around 500 CD's, and 400 LP's before too long

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Mon Apr 12, 2004 9:59 am

Inheriting? Is there something you should be telling us here? Does our moderator know about your plans?

RedShoes · Post by **RedShoes** » Mon Apr 12, 2004 11:30 am

Hehee - just a joke between us for now. It goes both way at least (though he owns more CD's *and* DVD's than I do). I think I win in this deal all around

I have about:

850 cds
100 burned cds
50 cassettes
and about 1500-2000 live bootleg cds of many bands

...and I am only 18

Currently I probably have somewhere in the order of 600 CDs and a similar number of LPs. However, very soon I will be purchasing a cheap turntable with built in pre-amp and transferring my entire vinyl collection onto my PC's hard-disk drive, after which I will sell off the LPs and free up a lot of garage space.

DVD collecting seems to have taken up most of my dollars these days... my collection now being over the 700 mark.

Its not that. I have been getting them for my birthday since I was 10 and I have a part time job with nothing to spend my money on except music related stuff.

Early start!

I didn't start buying CD's seriously until I was probably around 15 or 16, and I'm 22 now.

Bob And Charlotte · Post by **Bob And Charlotte** » Tue Apr 20, 2004 2:28 pm

A little more than 1.100 Cd´s and something like 50 Albums.

(80 of them are Dylan records!)
